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.

Anger feeds on anger
any sense of that outsiders are people
goes,
like a fist when you open your hand
and then it is so easy for us to kill.

"war is swell"

For those hwo feel they are not going to pay the price.

The US seems to get this feeling. Dangerously and mistakenly, I think.

For all those advocates of fights I would like to know whouldn't they change their minds knowing there is a high price to be payed.

The power breeds arrogance which breeds disaster.
