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?

North Korea women girls

North Korean women are sold everywhere | The famine is estimated to have killed some 2 million of the nation's 24 million people since 1995, and led to as many as 300,000 heading for China to live illegally.

Some say the famine is largely the fault of the North Korean government, which maintains a million-man army to defend one of the most heavily armed areas in the world — the DMZ, or demilitarized zone separating it and South Korea.

Others counter that the North Korean economy is crumbling and the government cannot purchase anything because of its poor credit rating. Natural disasters, like a drought in 1997, also contributed to hardships.

Because the country is so reclusive, granting access only to a handful of visitors, international media coverage of the famine has been limited.

lchick......

I'm not wasting my time "catching up".

I'm HERE...NOW...IN REAL TIME......

...wondering if you're one of the last remaining orangoutangs in a zoo. Some/most of your "material" seems to be the product of gnarled fingers motivated by a mostly involuntary neural net mainly interested in a bunch of rotten bananas sitting on the concrete.

I see two levels of delusion in this forum......

Rshow's focused suspicion as per "Gisterme" who is alternately male and female...sometimes Condoleeza Rice and on other occasions The President of The United States !!!

and...

Lchick's obsession (a clearly Pavlovian response conditioned by Rshow's indoctrination) that one "George Johnson" is morphing into "Monikers" such that "George Johnson"=Wrcooper=Mazza9=Kalter Rauch=limpseed=...WHOEVER opposes "her" and "rshow".

A fascinating case is presented by "commondata" who inhabits the "no-man's-land" in your paranoia between love and hate.

Even MORE intriguing is YOU, Lchick!!! What ARE you, anyway?!?!? I imagine you, based on your grammatical errors and severely circumscribed world-view, to be an Australian aborigine flapping your inner-tube lips at a world you can NEVER begin to comprehend.

Tell me...TELL THIS FORUM......does your dog-like admiration of Rshow translate into a sneaking desire...a "plan"...to supplant Rshow's wife as an object of his abject affections???
