    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.

Well, you're an idiot to be sure, and well deserving to be ignored, but if one thing this thread has taught me is how to scroll past idiots.

I am the one with an extra 'b'.

Just a li'l give-and-take with an old stalker.

Armasgeddon? the Force ? Gosh, that's too dramatic !

I was thinking of a little needle to the 'hot air' balloon !

Showalter is just like the "Borg" in "Star Trek: The Next Generation".....unstoppable..."You will be assimilated"......

"I was thinking of a little needle to the 'hot air' balloon !"

But even you must get the feeling of hopelessness against the "Borg"-like strategy of the Showalter....

Following the links that I have discovered, one can easily see that this thread is but one Fiefdom in the Showalter "Empire"....his "output" is much greater than just this...
