The other solid international legal instruments to prevent the militarization of space are; the 1963 treaty banning nuclear weapons tests
in the atmosphere, in space and underwater, and the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile(ABM) Treaty have to be particularly mentioned as it
initiated the entire process of nuclear arms limitation and reduction. It was meant to established the interrelationship between offensive
and defensive strategic systems and of the destabilizing effect of space weapons and clearly and repeatedly prohibited the goals of
the Reagan administration's SDI programme

The ABM Treaty is the major legal obstacle for the entrance of space weapons destined to intercept ballistic missiles. Article 5
expressly prohibits the development, test and deployment of such systems or components, which are sea-based, air-based,
space-based, or mobile land based.

However, the current Bush administration signified their unilateral intent to abrogate the treaty and declared their official withdrawal
from the ABM treaty in December 2001, almost 4 months after 9/11 and PARTICULARLY SPECIFYING IT AS THE MAIN REASON FOR
THEIR WITHDRAWALl. Article 15 of the treaty provides that each party has the right to withdraw unilaterally on six months' notice if it
decides that "EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS"… have jeopardized its supreme interests".(Daniellsson, 1987) In fact, the withdrawal from
the treaty has been contemplated and in his remarks to students and faculty at National Defense University in May 1, 2001, President
Bush emphatically stated, "We need a new framework that allows us to build missile defenses to counter the different threats of
today's world. To do so, we must move beyond the constraints of the 30 year old ABM Treaty. This treaty does not recognize the
present, or point us to the future. It enshrines the past. No treaty that prevents us from addressing today's threats, that prohibits us
from pursuing promising technology to defend ourselves, our friends and our allies is in our interests or in the interests of world
peace."

Was the 9/11 a coincident or was it pre-meditated by Bush, Military Industrial Complex, the CIA and and all their terrorist cohorts?
