Space: America's New War Zone - Empire? - Global Policy Forum Space America s New War zone. By Andrew Buncombe. Independent October 19, 2006. The Bush administration has staked an . More Information on empire? http://www.globalpolicy.org/empire/intervention/2006/1019space.htm
Extractions: October 19, 2006 The Bush administration has staked an aggressive new claim to dominate space - rejecting any new treaties that seek to limit the United States' extraterrestrial activities and warning that it will oppose any nations that try to get in its way. A new policy recently signed by President George Bush, asserts that his country has the right to conduct whatever research, development and "other activities" in space that it deems necessary for its own national interests. The new policy further warns that the US will take those actions necessary to protect its space capabilities "and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile" to those interests. The document adds: "Space activities have improved life in the United States and around the world, enhancing security, protecting lives and the environment, speeding information flow serving as an engine for economic growth and revolutionising the way people view their world and the cosmos." "Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power." In some respects the policy represents the space equivalent of the "Bush Doctrine" national security policy initially outlined by Mr Bush in a speech at West Point military academy in June 2002. At that event - and later more formally codified - Mr Bush said the new US policy would place more emphasis on military pre-emption and unilateral actions.

The Empire Zones (EZ) Program, formerly known as the Economic Development Zones Program, was created by New York State in 1986 to stimulate economic growth in a number of the State's economically distressed areas. Through the enactment of this program, these target areas were designated "Economic Development Zones" (EDZ). New legislation in 2000 renamed and enhanced the Economic Development Zones Program. It became the Empire Zone Program and zone certified businesses could become Qualified Empire Zone Enterprises or "QEZE's." This entitled a QEZE business to enhanced benefits. During the 2005 budget process, additional changes were made on how benefits were calculated and the legislation expanded on certain qualifying factors, but some benefit terms were reduced.
