    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.

"" Fredmore makes the assumption that 'poor boat people' are akin to terrorists.

The reality with terrorism is that the misguided rich lead willing others .... whose mode of transport is more likely to be Air first class than 'boat'. ""

You let them arrive unregulated

They integrate and through the veil of opportunity

A sleeper cell sleeps

Waiting , waiting for you to be undressed

And exposed!

They arrive too

by air elite

But there lies a chain of proof to catch the thief

of life and limb from terror!

And through a regulated mean

We have time to check

and vet and clean

and keep you safe

from what's unseen!

Terror is an expression of 'what' --- define it

Listen for -- specifications of 'what' --- work to redress

And sublime it!
