    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.

This is very good news. The Korean War was a great tragedy, and the freezing of the armistace, which N. Korea never expected - to produce a buffer state at the height of the Cold War caused many ugly decisions. The ugliness was not only on one side. If this dangerous vestige of the Cold War can be dealt with and healed, the world will be a better, safer place. This is a situation where the US must be careful, but can also afford to be decent, and even generous.
