Science
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.
The issue of Serbia, and what went wrong there, is an
enormous issue for Almarst.

Whatever generalizations people wish to make with respect
to the Iraq case might well be crosschecked with the Kosovo
case.
We're a long way from perfection - but we have to be
clearer, and do better, than we're doing.
International law as an operational concept, with workable
enforcement, is in disarray now if it can be said to exist. It
has to be negotiated into being.
With rules that people can understand, and can work.
When things are complicated enough - shared "facts" that
are really facts are crucial.
Almarst , this is a hard time for many people - but
many people are paying attention, and maybe we can find ways
to do better in the future than in the past.

Out.

"What can we do now?"
For the sake of the future of this nation and the World, we
need to pray for as quick and as less painfull DEFEAT as we
will be able to master. Before the trully monsterous future
become reality.
This is the stark choice the American foreign policy
brought us all to face.
Those who don't believe the History and God - feel free to
go agead and disregard.
