    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.

Cantabb: A Picayune

You keep confirming your barnyard/schoolyard residence.

KAEP: 1. A 10 year plan 2. With countries providing funds on a percentage of GDP basis ... up to .5% by mutual agreement. 3. For an international research and implementation program for: A. Converting one major power station in every city over 5 million people to dry rock geothermal. B. Developing and implementing Thermoelectric fabrics (eg polythiophene) for urban and agricultural power generation. C. Developing space based solar collectors and microwave transmission of power from space D. Terminating every stormwater and major farm runoff in an engineered wetland in order to conserve land based EMERGY in riverine catchments - from where it originates. This avoids the localised and catastrophic build up of energy at coastal boundaries around the planet, which is what we perceive as Climate Change. With all nations working together as partners, created equal and working together for a simple common KAEP goal, defence from missiles of all kinds will be Guaranteed.

You version of "Loop Test," reflecting His Master's Voice loyalty.

Just repeating things doesn't make it so, just like parroting isn't taken for anything original or new !

I win .... THIS game!

That you can shout in your school-yard ! Fits in there, better !

Your Schoolyard/barnyard behavior continues....

KAEP: 1. A 10 year plan....... 3. For an international research and implementation program for: A. Converting one major power station in every city over 5 million

With all nations working together as partners, created equal and working together for a simple common KAEP goal, defence from missiles of all kinds will be Guaranteed.

Repeating yourself : His Master's Voice "Loop Test" !

I win .... THIS game!

Take it your school yard. You don't really belong in civilized society.

"Irregardless" of what you think you have to say about KAEP ! Take it to the next rally !

Relate if you can to MD. What you think is good for South Africa (or elsewhere?) is NOT good for every other country. Certainly not for USA.

KAEP:

"I win .... THIS game!"

Stop being silly...these are the words of a child, not an adult....your post is sadly off-topic, a typical feature of this disease-ridden Forum....

klsanford0 - 11:13am Oct 14, 2003 EST (# 14976 of 14980)

I believe my posts last night successfully argued the underlying rationale for MD with regard to the previous MAD Doctrine. Time to move on and discuss current systems architecture....I have friends who are also interested in this as you will see....

fredmoore-Schoolyard is likely to continue.

Can't "Ignore." BUT his yowling tantrums need to be dealt with....
