BUSH HAS PUT THE WORLD into conflict with each other while possessing a grandeous idea that a missile defense shield could be quickly and efficiently deployed. Cheney escalated the arms race with complete disregard for the fact MDS was a defunct system when this regime took office as testified by MIT's Lincoln Labs. This regime 'terrified' the world to incite war for profit. At no time did Cheney/Bush stop to consider the fact world balance of power was at stake when their conspiracy would be discovered. The 'rant' regarding Iran is too much like that of Iraq to deny this is not an agenda for wealth garnered in the fallacy of religious purity.
Earth hangs in the balance as Global Warming thunders ahead killing vast amounts of
people already. Cheney in his desperation to save himself from his liability with Halliburton, Rumsfeld in his glamorized concept of spreading freedom and Bush in his ruthless desire to satisfy 'his base' has turned a world with promise for peace into a nightmare.
The Bush/Cheney White House at this point has no way of returning to the peace tables anywhere because they are too invested politically to admit either defeat of their agenda or wrongful death of innocent people in exchange for profit. The continued 'march' toward aggression regarding 'nuclear weapons' in countries not friendly to the West is political, out of control, unrealistic and flat out dangerous. Look what they have done to Japan alone so they can achieve an end that was never fully planned. What was the statement by Senator John Kerry? "They never had plans to secure the peace." AND THEY STILL DON'T. I wouldn't blame Japan if they never looked at the USA in favor again.
No decision yet on missile system
OTTAWA -- Canadian participation in the U.S. missile-defence program is still a live issue, despite opposition within the Liberal caucus and among rank and file in the party, Defence Minister Bill Graham said yesterday. "The decision hasn't been taken, yet," he said.

Missile support plummets54 per cent favour staying out of Bush administration's missile shield program
Issue has become a potentially troubling one for Liberal government
BRUCE CAMPION-SMITHOTTAWA BUREAU
OTTAWA—The federal Liberals have probably lost their chance to join the U.S.-led missile defence program without the risk of paying a big political price, according to a Toronto Star poll.

CALL ME A FOOL, BUT, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN INCENTIVE FOR JAPAN TO COOPERATE BUSH WAS MISSING BEFORE HIS 'AXIS OF EVIL' SPEECH. Peace is not what Bush has in mind. He wouldn't have gone here in the first place if peace is what he is planning. Bush purposefully endangers the balance ofpower to achieve an agenda yet undisclosed. He is doing this with completeknowledge that the Space MDS Program is not achievable. I imagine The Carlyle Group doesn't mind the escalation of 'fear' around the planet regarding missile launches due to increases tensions. It is still the best stratgey to achieve peace within the Internatioanl Community.

'Ronald Reagan and His Quest to Abolish Nuclear Weapons': In a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Republican presidents should be grateful for the scorn of liberal elites.After they leave office, their reputations have nowhere to go but up. Thistendency first became apparent when historians transformed Dwight Eisenhower from a doddering golfer into a political wizard. Then it picked up steam as Richard Nixon went from war criminal to the last great liberal Republican president. Now it's threatening to reach epic proportions as Ronald Reagan, famously dismissed by the Washington insider Clark Clifford as ''an amiable dunce,'' comes in for a reappraisal.

U.S. Deploys Missile Defense System
Installation goes forward despite latest test failure THE ROCKETS MAY NOT GLARE and bombs may not burst in the air—to rephrase part of the U.S. national anthem—but the Bush administration is forging ahead with construction of what it terms an "operational" missile defense system. The official objective was to have a rudimentary system up and running by last December, but after a key interceptor test rocket failed to fire from the Marshall Islands on 14 December, the Pentagon's Northern Command said the system would not become operational until early this year [see photo, "Rollout"].

Missile Defense Fails Test; System Remains Grounded Wade Boese
A long-range ballistic missile interceptor failed to get off the ground in a December test. So did President George W. Bush’s plans to declare the initial elements of a U.S. anti-missile system operational by the end of last year.
