<<There is a lot of pressure to toss in the 20 year old Star Wars plans that were designed for the old cold war.>> TP: IMHO, the Star Wars concept always was a joke...Look what these radical terrorists did to close to 5000 innocent U.S. citizens. The most expensive Star Wars system WOULD NOT have prevented the tragedies in New York and Washington. Congress has spent months debating things like Star Wars but they failed to give the FAA the resources to provide us with appropriate airport security....Hello, where were the priorities? Lets hope this wake up call changes the focus of our discussion about how we can practically and realistically improve our safety. We MUST also make sure our CIA and FBI take their global intelligence activities up a few notches...We need to be proactive and operate with missionary zeal. And we also need to partner with all these new coalition countries. High Quality Intelligence Information is absolutely essential for a SuperPower to wage an effective battle against the Global Terrorists. JMHO. Regards, Scott
