Revised Bush Space Policy Rejects Future Arms Control

In other news, the Bush administration has issued the first full revision of US

space policy in a decade. The Washington Post reports the new National Space

Policy rejects future arms-control agreements and asserts the right to deny

access to anyone “hostile to U.S. interests. " The new policy is increasing

concerns the US is seeking to revive plans to introduce space-weaponry. Michael

Krepon, co-founder of the Henry L. Stimson Center, said: " The Clinton policy

opened the door to developing space weapons, but that administration never did

anything about it. The Bush policy now goes further. "

 

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances,

there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in

such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest

we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
