Science
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?

Still peddling the same one Rx cures ALL !
[to jorian re: rshow55]: Surely you jest.
You're suggesting the leopard change his spots. The only way
that will happen with Show Bob is to melt him down and
ref*ck him ....
‘Wonderful' thoughts from a long-time ‘regular’ on this
forum, who presumably had long sought to have a face-to-face
with rshow55, and claimed to have tred to help him !
Bob paranoically sees conspiracies in every
bush. Whoever disagrees with him must, of necessity, be
somebody big and important conspiring to keep him
down........I wonder if he's really bared his suspicions and
conspiracy theories to his shrink.
Thanks for your psychoanalysis !
Put rshow55, lchic and cantabb on your
"Ignore Posts list"! It's amazing how much clutter is
thereby removed.
Hey, it works!
Again, IF “it works,” it “works” for YOU. Not a panacea for
everyone else. Enjoy it. Why keep whining about the weeds you
ignore and don’t want to see ?

In my # 15379 to rshow55:
"All deal WITH your personal situation – nothing to do with
MD or this board."

Eating at the top table in Canberra :
'' Some Labor MPs are planning to protest against Mr Bush
when he addresses parliament next Thursday, although several
MPs have backed down from earlier threats to turn their back
on him during his speech.
Asked if he would mind the protests, Mr Bush said: "Not at
all. It means democracy is alive and well. I don't expect
everyone to agree with us.
"But one thing is for certain, the Prime Minister (John
Howard) was strong and the Australian military performed
brilliantly, I mean brilliantly.
"And I think a lot of people would like to hear that from
the American President (and) I'm going to tell them. And if
somebody feels like they want to express discontent, that's
OK, that's democracy." '' The Australian 16thOct03
At the lower table :
Children, wives, and a father of two Australians detained
in Cuba - for two years - without being charged or tried ...
will wear pictures of their loved ones ....
Will Bush notice?

I have discovered the above Showalter GuardianTalk
thread...another , in addition to this one AND ANOTHER
GuardianTalk thread. He's got at least these three threads
going....it's incredible to see the number of times and
threads he's repeated one or two posts....a dozen times, three
dozen...

' ' ... the nation's capital is once more embroiled in a
gale-force scandal. It is an extraordinary affair that
combines espionage, political dirty tricks and weapons of mass
destruction - a heady mix normally found only in airport
thrillers. But fact has had a knack of trumping fiction in
Washington lately. In principle at least, this is worse than
Watergate and far worse than Bill Clinton's sexual liaisons.
According to the claims now under scrutiny by the FBI, senior
officials in the Bush administration (possibly including aides
close to the president himself) blew the cover of a
high-ranking CIA agent in order to punish and discredit her
husband, a critic of the administration. In doing so, they
endangered the very national security in the name of which the
administration has so far invaded two countries. Ironically,
the agent in question was a leading player in the monitoring
and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction around the world.
