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?

Deal with this.. maybe you might think twice aobut opposing an investigation of 9/11 after reading this...But you support the president..so why question what happened?

(Its not surprising that Bush would want to hide this...anyone would..and people are not responsible for their parent's or grandparent's actions ... ) http://www.nhgazette.com/cgi-bin/NHGstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=NN_Bush_Nazi%20Link

Bush - Nazi Link Confirmed

By by John Buchanan from The New Hampshire Gazette Vol. 248, No. 1, October 10, 2003

By John Buchanan

Exclusive to The New Hampshire Gazette

WASHINGTON - After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the U.S. media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942, when Congress took aggressive action against Bush and his "enemy national" partners.

The documents also show that Bush and his colleagues, according to reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and FBI, tried to conceal their financial alliance with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, a steel and coal baron who, beginning in the mid-1920s, personally funded Adolf Hitler's rise to power by the subversion of democratic principle and German law.

Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush and his associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger brother of American icon W. Averell Harriman, and George Herbert Walker, President Bush's maternal great-grandfather, continued their dealings with the German industrial baron for nearly eight months after the U.S. entered the war.

Some more in case you don't come back to the Krugman forum.

You apparently think that the country was well guarded when you saw the twin towers destroyed and see no need to find out the events that led up to that.

I blamed Bush because he should have been working and had taken a 1 month vacation from his duties as president. His team screwed up and I would like an investigation to find out the facts of what happened.

Putting it on a smaller scale..if the police don't protect citizens from known criminals then yes the police are blamed. That is their job and if they don't do it properly then there should be an investigation.

Also learn some manners when addressing other people.

Now Mme Defarge watches the axe as it falls thru Mme Guillotine's racks but the star of the show one M. RShow looks up at the sky and waits for the blow that never arrives to nib the blood of his Reveramonde neck

While Cantabbelle nits and Bluey strives unto fits to put an end to their ar..istocrat twits. Full of compliants: The axe ought to fall spare us their faux-gratitudes and MD untolds and their life's history and their dull currency ... But wait here comes BBBuck who seems down on his luck but is blessed with a Jack Benny delivery And what about Fred who thinks KAEP's not dead And Will with the barrows dodging Defarge's barnyard tipped arrows Wouldn't change it for quids, detecting missiles with Squids And a long term strategy ... that's not up to me worry 'bout that when the other side's dead.
