    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.

"I wrote a pretty straight response."

Isn't that just terrible crap coming from the LIAR Showalter....evasions, garbled nonsense, repetition of everything....

"I'm unable to function because of the place the NYT organization has put me"

The Times has done NOTHING to you, Showalter...they have NO connection with you at all. You are JUST A POSTER, like thousands of others...you are CRAZY to think ANYTHING else....

Showalter has declared unequivocally that he is under strict "House Arrest". We all know what that means. Yet he continually refers to going out and about on Halloween, to walking the dog, to going out to dinner, to go shopping, to see movies, to lead an everyday life of usual movement. The idiot cannot even be bothered to get his stories straight. It's all utterly irrational...Showalter says first he's under House Arrest from the "Government" then the "CIA", and now the New York Times has put him under house arrest, so he complains the NYT has made it impossible to "function" at his house. Yet, he's out for dinner, renting a video.....

Cantabb:

You're being too nice to these guys, helping them by pointing out better and more coherent ways of doing things than they do....teaching them how to focus, and so on...believe me, it's a lost cause....

Bluestar: You're probably right. Their loss !

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

Missile Defense Made Simple:

All we have to do is write to someone in a High Position at NYT, and convince them that after much Hard Work, the Corpus has come up with a Win-Win Solution to an Important Problem.

The next step is Naming names, or Checking Into who is actually in control of all those missiles.

Finally, NYT puts them all under House Arrest. Elegant, simple, effective, safe and affordable!

(Oh yeah, and Fair, too!)
