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.

If Putin asks George Bush the straight questions -- "do you file as gisterme ? " - the response might be "indirect" - but with more than 700 postings by gisterme - - Putin can get some very good statistical judgements. Though I don't credit the President with all of them - - some, I believe - are of such high academic quality that Rice deserves credit for them.

When right answers really count, they have to "connect the dots" ( MD1055 rshow55 4/4/02 6:54am ) so that patterns emerge -- and to check those patterns

rshow55 - 09:20pm Nov 21 Jackass, A year back I came on this forum and you attempted to say I was Bill Clinton-in fact you made like 25 different posts with a hundred or so links trying to tell everybody I was Bill Clinton...You made it all so detailed, with links for each post-quite a work of effort...

You a moron with a mental condition!!

MD2631 cites MD262, which includes this:

"I'm thinking that a very few simple things, not embarrassing, not expensive, not difficult, would be good to do now. If some journalists could hear some recordings -- one from last week, between me and the C.I.A. - which NYT could get to if it wished -- and another that I'm guessing exists of a meeting between me and a trusted officer of the University of Wisconsin, Madison - - that could set things up for some graceful, simple steps."

Gisterme responded in MD2633 gisterme 6/20/02 3:05am and the response was especially interesting in light of the statistical argument about gisterme's interest embodied in postings MD2574-2590 rshow55 6/17/02 7:09am

Look at them and sample them for yourself.

Putin should ask simple, direct questions - and see that some simple things are checked.
