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?

Check Swaziland radio, alarmst - I'm sure they can fabricate something to your delight. OR keep reading the Guardian - pretty much that same thing. Another 48 civilian casualties here, another 197 children burned alive there... all in the amount of time that, given blessed peace, Saddam and his charming kids could have tortured a thousand or so for their amusement - which seems to be of paramount importance to SOME people here.

Jorian,

It must have being a torture for you all those years Saddam is in power. If so, i can undestand your sense of relief.

The US and British governments have dragged us into a mess that will last for years - http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,926952,00.html

The "strategists" are waking up... unfortunatly always too late.
