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?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

Just to add flavor to the "fiction" - I posted this:

Some things ought to be checked - - for the sake of the United States, and the whole world.

I've been trying to Send in clear rshowalter "Science News Poetry" 2/14/01 7:18am for a long time. The poem of rshowalter "Science News Poetry" 2/14/01 7:18am ends with this note:

In clear: Lying is more dangerous than people think, and soaks up more attention than people know. We can do less of it. We can send in clear - the message, almost always, will be peaceful. And complex cooperation, now so often terminated with deceptive sequences, could happen more often.

If the Guardian, the NYT, and some other first line papers got together (with foundation support if that was needed) and got some things checked we could live in a much safer and more humane world.

GU | """They should have told the doctors about the gas immediately," said Tatiana Sorkhina, 36, who did not know any of the victims. "The gas was necessary," she added, "as the crisis was ended quickly and could have been a lot scarier." She did not think there should be reprisals in Chechnya. "The Chechens are also a normal people, like the Russians. They are both good and bad."

The refined civility of your sophistry may lure the gullible newcomer to this forum like a fly to a spider's web...with the enticing blandishments of lchic as bait......

......but the wary, wise to the wiles of the world's ways, will shun your "logic" as the sickening-sweet scent of decay, even as it attracts the common fly......
