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?

Plugged 'cold war' into Amazon.com

Almost 200 pages

* 1 - 10 of 1946

1946 items therein - a vintage year for a vintage crop

Plug "incog=herence" or "irrelevance": You'll get LOT more pages, including a few from your pied piper, may be with his photo !

Americans are fond of High School reunions .... oh here's a note on bluestar ...

'Forever gushing-up to his teachers - hand raised - 'Sir! Sir!' to be totally ignored and dismissed for his senseless 'tittle-tattle'

Good for a chat-room !

Any relevance to MD ?

Humanity and Knowledge

If RU is pushing Humanity and Knowledge ... that's folks with heads full of the right, sorry left, stuff

Then these heads will work out that the Missiles in-situ have caused more death and destruction (Lukemia Cancer Death) than any projectile that ever flew over their State Lines.

When the RU Humanity gets WISDOM ... the getting of which includes 'experience' (mishaps) ... then the RU crowd will move on to be the cheer leaders of

The PEACE movement

Esso / Exxon / 'the tiger in your tank'

There are estimated to be 5,000 tigers (one for every person attending the Howard DEAN (who is he?) Speech in Maddison) in the USA -- co-existing with people taking 'tea' with their tigers. Mainly in the Southern States. That's 10 x the number of tigers in captivity (ZOO-parks) around the globe.

Now if these goodfolk don't understand 'the ever present danger' of a tiger .... how can they be expected to appreciate the built in dangers of the less tangible MD system?
