"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed."
~President Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

Missile Shield Won't Work: Scientist Group Thursday,
May 13, 2004 by Jim Wolf
WASHINGTON - The multibillion-dollar U.S. ballistic missile shield due
to start operating by Sept. 30 appears incapable of shooting down any
incoming warheads, an independent scientists' group said on Thursday.
A technical analysis found "no basis for believing the system will
have any capability to defend against a real attack," the Union
of Concerned Scientists said in a 76-page report titled Technical Realities.
The Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency rejected the report.
The Missile
Defense System represents the push to move the US'
concept of "war without end" into space--humanity's common heritage.
This
Vision is clearly spelled out in the US Space Command's
