    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?

Read Debates, a new Web-only feature culled from Readers' Opinions, published every Thursday.

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.

It seems to me that if people do their duty - as lchic and I try to do - a lot of good could come of it, reasonably gracefully. If only almarst was Putin, or knew Putin. Putin could help. Leaders from the EU could, as well.

I think all the poems here are of more than historical interest -

http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?14@@.ee74d94/2313 - they start:

You're not dead yet

Inaugural Theme Song

Lay Your Sleeping Head, My Love

I fell in passionate partner-love in the line of duty, . . With a lady doing her duty too.

The pseudonyms correspond to people who know who they are - and made only small secrets about their identity.

Lchic and I are doing our duty still. And if some others would do their duty - the world would be a safer, more prosperous place. In ways old "boy scouts" like the Eisenhowers and Casey would have approved of.
