I agree with Linda, we should be selling peace. There are no defensive weapons, they are all offensive. We should have nothing to do with space based weapons systems.These systems are designed for blitzkreig pre-emptive strikes, shock and awe on a nuclear scale. We don't any more of that on this planet. Break the chain reaction, stop the maddness now!
Not just space based, I think we need to push for weapons bans altogether. Go back to row boats, horse and carriage, and if you *have* to protect yourself slapping, scratching, biting and kicking just like any immature child would. The trouble is it's that same childish mentality that finds comfort in the war machinery and would rather annihilate your once buddy, now enemy, and okay, buddies again.
Peace is kept through deterrence and the missile defence system represents deterrence. Canada won't be able to defend itself against missile attacks, we must co-operate with our allies - the British, Japanese, Danish, Australians and of course Americans.
The same countries that recruit and send out suicide bombers are developing nuclear missiles and would certainly sell them to the highest bidder - so disarming ourselves is completely misguided. And those who think a Canadian or American city deserves to be attacked, as some people have mentioned, are completely evil.
*Evil* is a word that belong in Jesusland. But if that is the only language you understand then, people that dream up the kinds of weapons that are being used today as deterrents are *evil*.
Who told you that "the enemy" is developing nuclear weapons? Bush? Isn't that the same guy who told you that Saddam Hussien had wmd's? Ya that's what I thought. Can't you recognize the fear tactics that are being used on you?

Imagine all the good that could have been done with the billions of dollars that the u.s. has spent killing people in Iraq. Now imagine how many terrorist threats there would be against a nation so strong, yet so noble as to truly help those people instead of killing them.
Everyone who cares should be writing to Paul Martin, asap; that is the only way to stop this, to make sure he knows that the next election hangs on his decision.
There is no defence of space weapons, we'll all be annihilated, the shield doesn't work, but the money still pours out into the pockets of the corporate warmongers. The arms race begins, Russia and China are not going to sit on their hands while the great U.S. arms itself and takes over space. That is the reality of this decision, control of space by one power, no protection for anyone and living in fear is all that will be left. So basicly there won't be a table to sit at, or food to eat or air to breath. It really is a no brainer decision, say No and instead take the path to peace, we could be leaders, if they chose to be.

And airport screeners are suppossed to represent deterence as well dumbnuts and that did not stop Osama and gang from finding a hole and stealing aircraft.
Fox readers you need to broaden your version of reality.
Missile Defence is yet another lie for the already conned.

Canada for Canadians
So we know for sure now, that Canada (Bay Street) is going to take the plunge into that money pit (courtesy of Canadian taxpayer).
