    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.

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

For the record -- partnering Bob Showalter:

He and I have talked on the phone for one-two hours most days since Mid-2000 with respect to further pushing the boundaries of knowledge.

Bob is a super-sharp intelligent man with interests that rainbow and then complete the 360 circle.

It's obvious from postings (above) that this board has been loaded with paid-staffers, of entity/agency over past years, who have teased from Showalter insights into his work -- on the one hand, sitting at the feet of the master, so to speak, whilst deriding him. This shows respectful interest combined with blatent arrogance.

Showalter says the Cold War isn't over .... this thread is an illustration of his nation's dilemma ... a move to truth or continue its freeflight fall in world-opinion-stakes?

Showalter uses 'his name' and gives personal contact information.

Those setting out to undermine his credibilty and standing in the immediate posts above are WAY WAY WAY off the mark and WAY WAY WAY out of line. They hide in the darkness of shadow rather than stand in the sun.

Which raises the question WHY WHY WHY ..... along with WHAT WHAT WHAT are the entrenched interests they wish to hide and protect ???

It's the USA that needs to look to itself and work through current national thinking processes with the mind's eye on quality improvement.

Your 'elegiac' testimonial soars beyond the expected heights of fancy.

I wasn't looking for reality and "Truth," and I was NOT disappointed. Devotion like this doesn't need such 'niceties'. One could question (and laugh at) your every single statement (above), but -- been there, done that -- many tmes ! Now, not the time or the place.

Cantabb - rides pillon on the soundwave of an echo.

but thread readers will ask

Who are you? What's your name? Contact information?

Faceless - nameless opinions are weightless and worthless in real world terms.
