Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans
for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be
limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI
all over again?

A personal experience, cited in Mankind's Inhumanity to Man
and Woman - As natural as human goodness? #163 http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?13@@.ee7b085/193
... was written in response to a query I took to be from a reporter.
The true story I set out involves the Press Secretary of
Secretary of State Albright. Though I don't say so there, going into
the office of the newspaper in question, that same day, I got to see
former Director of CIA James Schlesinger. He was standing on a
corner near the office of that great newspaper.
Fear levels recounted in the story are high. The fear was quite
real. Fear like that gets in the way of communication that might
otherwise happen, and might otherwise be interesting.

I was told to go to the Science - Missile Defense forum in
MD6262 kate_nyt
"Favorite Poetry" 9/24/00 1:27pm ... and have been there since.
My emphasis, from the beginning, has been on nuclear disarmament,
with missile defense as a means to an end, and as an interesting
issue. Almarst has dealt with the issues discussed on this
thread in the same spirit, and gisterme has, as well.
