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?

Why Muslems should celebrate
'The Mecca of the West'

The skewed i-logical logic of supposed islamic thinking is a disgrace to Mohammet - who laid out a religion to suit the times with an eye on it adapting to future change.

One aspect of that religion was to get off the camel five times a day to stretch each and every muscle in the body ... to renew oneself ... to Tayloristcally increase efficiency ready for the next part of work's journey.

As we noted on the archived thread, Isalm was hijacked to greed and power in the Twelvth Century, hemmed in by misinterpretation and lies.

The recent UN ARAB REPORT showed the statistics of failure to respond to change - outlined in child deaths (for example).

What is meant by the term

THE WEST

It has to be interpreted as

'complex advanced society'

What is involved in the creation of such a society?

HARD WORK with INNOVATION

So why should Islamics be bowing to the 'mecca of the west' ? Because the

HARD YAKKA

has been done. The 'secrets' of 'The West' are there for the taking.

That's a pantload and a half worth of BS!!! There is precious little "new blood" here because you (not to mention lchic) not only continue to fill this forum with irrelevant chaff but refuse to even acknowledge (intelligently) any response unless it tows your dangerous unilateral disarmament line.

You pride yourself on "working fulltime" on this forum...I dare say!!! What you're doing is filibustering in the best(worst) tradition of a congressional hack.

The only ideas you've floated that are at all relevant to the topic are your mylar party balloons.

......AND ANOTHER THING......

Quit this nonsense about your critics being Agents for The NYT or The "Shop", or MIB enforcers for the Alien/Human Power Elite Conspiracy that REALLY call the shots on this planet.

If, however, you insist on continuing down this path of illusion then I suggest you get ahold of The Church of The Subgenius video "ARISE!".

So the wealth of The Harvard Business School regarding how to achieve business process - ie 'the secrets of the west' ... are fully available to everyone worldwide.

Works on business and commerical processes demonstrate good, and not so good, ways of thinking and doing.

They also include a psychological appreciation of the aspirational needs of the Human Capital employed.

Advanced research methodology in process is a valued strength of the USA - which the whole world can, and does, exploit!

Showalter did you get 'that letter' yet from the CIA ... were you to do so you could move on with your humanitarian work.

Great film the 'Bourne Identity' - shows how the CIA look to Senate/Congress for continued dollar inspiration ... is there anyone in the Parliament actually in charge of this outfit?
