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?

"I'm out till tomorrow"

Make it permanent , baby, just shoot yourself and do us all a favour....

Of course, we could all just easily start a new thread on the GuardianTalk on Missile Defense, and move there...but then Showalter would have won, and there's no guarantee he won't follow around the Web...

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

Don't feel at all like shooting myself. There's some comfort in doing my duty . . . and getting a rise out of people who plainly are not doing theirs.

Kristoff spoke of Troy today. . . .

But Cassandra's curse was one of the most ingenious of Greek myth.

On the eve of a new war, the remarkably preserved citadel at Troy is an intriguing spot to seek lessons from history.

I did some collection and summary postings today, that summarize my postings here in a more condensed, coherent form.

Re-hash of a re-hash of the same slop.

1. He drags you too out there: check his link above.

2. Wonder if WRCooper interpreted your remarks correctly in his post, # 15423.

3. Top of WRC's list of 'Crazies" would be WRC himself for: his admitted "addiction" to MD and NYT forums; years of his discussions with rshow55; repeated requests for a face-to-face with him; meeting with him; bitterly regretting it later on the forum; wishing the 'weeds' would disappear if he just 'Ignored' them & his gratuitous advice to others; his continued tirade and whining about others.
