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?

ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing : build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation

Trends - Broadsheets (UK) ' ... increased pagination allowed them to devote more space to foreign stories than 20 years before. Extra pages of comment and analysis provided a larger platform for debates, allowing papers to offer a range of opinions about issues compared with the previous era when there was room only for a single point of view. ......

Trends are often universal ...

Has the range of debate, viewpoints, opinion on MD issues - as in published NYT stories - been given: less | same | greater coverage over past decade?

Cantabb -

North Korea is a negotiation problem ...

Gaming theory, a focus of the film 'A beautiful mind' re Nash and his work for the USA Government, is dismissed by you -

Showalter states the Nash Theory needs further refinement - for use in diplomatic negotiations

What does Cantabb know - that others don't?

"good job, well done Lchic!

Freddy, just shut your moronic mouth for a while, OK..? If that's your idea of helping things here along, you're really the largest idiot here, worse than Showalter...

"I said, this recommendation is a personal suggestion. People may choose to read rshow55 and lchic's posts. That's fine. I suspect, however, that many folks take a quick look at the forum, read an rshow55 post rambling on about this or that, and they never come back. That's a pity, because this issue is important..

I think the "Ignore Posts list" is designed for posters just like rshow55 and lchic and robkettenberg."

You still do not see the utter lack of a logical interconnect between Forum posters using "ignore" function and new posters who are surfing and will NOT HAVE "Ignore" function "ON" and who therefore WILL SEE showalter's and lchic's posts ANYWAY....geddit...????
