Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

I've posted A.S.J. Tessimond's Attack On the Ad-Man , taken from ....... The essence of the ad-man's attack is persuasive manipulation of logical structure and facts and weights ...... When it matters enough, it is good to do better.

Absolutely NOTHING to do with the Forum Topic.

Same obsessive self references, meaningless !

Anything yet on what you're doing, how and why ?

Mazza's a fiction - as was established on the thread way back - his recall on 'fact' can be fictional too ... unless Cooper 'did' travel to Chicago.

The group's major recommendations, re ME relations:

besides creating a new White House director of public diplomacy,

were to

build libraries and information centers in the Muslim world,

translate more Western books into Arabic,

increase scholarships and visiting fellowships,

upgrade the American Internet presence,

and

train more Arabists, Arab speakers and public relations specialists

"...At gisterme's suggestion, I posted this - and it seems to me that there was a certain amount of interest ..."

Tut, tut, Robert. Let's be careful about laying out the whoppers here. I suggested no such thing.

You simply made up that ridiculous baloney you claim I "suggested" you post. I knew noting about that tripe until you posted it. To me it was not interesting at all. Your statement that I suggested you post it is a lie.
