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?

Make the oilpipe's tap responsible ... if a ship filled disintegrates ... charge that oil depot the clean-up

Tourism already moving EAST

Dictator | Belarus | travel-ban

The United States says it will follow the lead of most European Union countries and impose a visa ban on Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko and other top members of his government. The move will increase the isolation of the government in Minsk, which has been strongly criticized in Washington and elsewhere for human rights abuses.

German officials estimate that American organizations produce and send 85% of all the outlawed neo-Nazi material found in Germany.

And THIS is your miserable justification for quashing free speech in a free society?!?!?

You've already suggested that the right of citizens to bear arms shall be abridged. I presume you must also think a nation must lay bare and innocent to the evil designs of another......as long as it's being fielded by a 3rd world skank like Sodom Hussy.

You don't really believe in right or wrong...or good and evil, do you? All you want is for the US and all the advanced WEST to be dragged down to the level of the lowest common denominator...your natural element.

Freedom has a price. One "cost", if that's what you choose to call it, is open information exchange. History is what it is...not what YOU and your RED/GREEN crypto-communist revisionists want it to be.

"Neo-Nazi material" must therefore stand or fall on its own "merit" or lack thereof. If you're right then what are you afraid of?
