    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.

'The Poster' came out in all his KomodoChameleonMonikers to mask this post http://forums.nytimes.com/webin/WebX?8@13.QV9DbHJtbI3.2487619@.f28e622/13768 ... the masking seemed important to someone - Showalter must have it right.

""Chamaeleo pardalis, a chameleon species found in the forests of Madagascar. Chameleons can produce a wide range of colors and patterns on their skin, but they do this primarily to express mood, not to blend in with different environments.

#1)What does your post have to do with this topic's forum?

#2) I had the chance to be your father, but some pit-bull beat me over the fence to your mother.

US finds evidence of WMD at last - buried in a field near Maryland - http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,965319,00.html

Australia have already forgotten WMD re Iraq ...

Now they say they went in to take down a dictator and liberate the people ...

That's Westminster style legal reasoning - and now it's happened once ... can we expect countries to 'go in' and save people from 'bad-bad leadership' ?

Tony Blair's post-war tour of Iraq today ran into trouble before he had even set foot in the country when Robin Cook served notice that the prime minister faces a growing crisis over the failure to uncover weapons of mass destruction. Seizing on the "breathtaking" admission by Donald Rumsfeld that Saddam Hussein may have destroyed his weapons, the former foreign secretary issued a blunt warning to the prime minister that he took Britain to war on a false basis. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,966007,00.html
