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?

I see your 'What nonsense' and raise that by a: Your assertions are Preposterous! and meant to conceal your failings and ignoble ambitions.

School yard dares ?

What appear "nonsense" and "preposterous" will be called that, economically and quite appropriately. You won't get a long tortured inane critique. Get used to it. Like it or not.

["failings" ? "ignoble ambitions" ? : Imagining things again ? Check your dictionary and see IFG you can substantiate any of this !]

You know the best thing about a schoolyard: It's an important part of a place of learning. And the Lesson for today is How BEST to achieve World Preace? How best to defend a nation from Missiles and other forms of attack?

Take it to your school yard. Ask yoyr 'playmates':

This is still a Forum, even after ALL the abuse.

Curriculum:

Part A: the Construction of Hi-tech Missiles, explosives, lasers, beam generators, guidance systems, sensors, computers, system integrations and secret service operations to bring together at any cost a system that will detect any/all incoming Ballistic missiles and destroy it/them before they reach targets in the USA or its allies or its interests.

Part B: First, answer the question: "Who are we and What do we want?" The answer is EMERGY .. and ... that starts with 'E' and that rhymes with 'KEY' and that starts with 'K' and that stands for .... 'KAEP'. That's A Kyoto Alternative Energy Protocol. A gently staged program for ALL nations to explore what it is that people really want and then deliver it without interference in national sovereignty and with a long term continuance of world wide cooperation in attaining sustainable ENERGY and SECURITY in place of petty rivalries.

Class starts in 30 minutes.

The first student to utter preposterous or nonsense will be sent to NK for reorientation.

See, if you can, at least now -- away from the pre-9/17/03 slop --- post anything at all on-topic, away from your school yard !

Here again is the Forum header, ignored and abused for so long:

And, WAKE UP, you are NOT the forum moderator !

Another school yard move ?

Preposterous Nonsense!

If you knew what you were talking about this forum would have moved or closed AND Mme Defarge would be Knitting instead of mumbling silly questions to Carton (instead of knitting) as La Guillotine descends AND you would be asking serious questions about KAEP (on Topic).

How do you expect to be taken seriously?

Ooops, Erratum:

Please delete (instead of knitting) and replace with (nitting) in the above post.
