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?

What a MORON!!! You dismiss history as "self-righteous BS"...because the "wrong side" (to you?) WON??? In place of nasty facts you show a preference for lollipop comic-book fantasies like North Korea conducting H-bomb tests next to Japan!!! Your one-man "think-tank" forgot to include an all out invasion of South Korea to eliminate the JUST punishment that would be meted out by US and Korean forces upon your "Dear Leader" in Pyongyang.

You probably WON'T have to put up with "mazza-like whinings and self delusions" the next time you're incarnated......because you'll most likely be one of the post-apocalytic cockroaches who'll inherit the Earth!!!

Now that you've eclipsed Rshow with meaty (though hopelessly off-topic) information, I want to give you a little present to amuse yourself with over the holidays......

It's a free plug-in for Google...http://toolbar.google.com/.

I downloaded it earlier tonight with no problems. It adds a toolbar of extra search features to your browser (IE5 or later).

You're Welcome!!!

Fact | 22% of American Children live in Poverty!

No legislated minimum wage in the USA ensures that the poor, at the bottom of the skills ladder, need to work 2-3 jobs!

Fact | 'father' in jail - ensures a cycle of poverty

The Poster might adjust his tool bar to determine how the USA can 'afford' Nukes when it's kids can't afford books!

Truth, justice and the American way

The months that followed were a legal and emotional roller coaster ride. I was about to be subjected to things I thought never existed in the United States of America.

...

I was unable to defend myself as I was shackled and waist-chained. I suffered bruising to my right eye, wrists and ankles as a result of being beaten and dragged. I tried to file an official complaint against the guards, but was prevented from doing so.

That's why the Saudi Students have quit the USA ... and enrolled in, and welcomed by AussieU's!

The IEEE paper (above) said to take a fresh look at the dots/data and from them devise new ways, new frameworks, new models, to focus and re-focus .....

Irrationality in the logic paterns has to be spotted and the logic reworked.
