    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.

My involvement with the Missile Defense board started with discussion about nuclear weapons on the old NYT Favorite Poetry board. ( links) . . .

We know how it started; you've been harping on it for sometime.

How it's to end is a matter of time: "leaving gracefully' ?

cantabb: [on what rshow was assigned to work]: You mean something nebulous and undefined !

rshow: In a sense, yes, in another sense, no - and there's no contradiction. Search keys are both "nebulous and undefined" - the patterns used in " fishing expeditions" and organizing principles.

So, "in a sense" (unspecified), YES, it was "nebulous and undefined." And, NO, it wasn't so [in some areas ? Some times ?, etc ].

Go figger !

I'm diffuse in some ways - and very clear in others - and though I don't "have all the answers" I feel confident that lchic and I have gotten some of the most important answers that worried Eisenhower.

You can't even answer simple straightforward questions I been asking you for the past 6 weeks !

Your claims -- NOT evidence !

I think it is interesting why it is so hard for me to get NYT people to meet with me face-to-face. Look at the expense they are willing to go to to avoid it !

May be, they DON'T want to meet you !

What "expense" there could be ? I see nothing on NYT's part. Even if YOU see it, NYT wants to do it: get used to it -- soon !

Showalter : ever heard of LEAVING GRACEFULLY...????

"I think it is interesting why it is so hard for me to get NYT people to meet with me face-to-face. Look at the expense they are willing to go to to avoid it !"

NO ONE CARES...!!! This thread IS OVER! Just SHUT UP for once, Showalter.....you are repeating EVERYTHING again and again...

"Look at the expense they are willing to go to to avoid it !"

There is NOTHING to look at..except the delusional mind of showalter on sad display here...he won't quit babbling his nonsense even now, with the thread shutting down....

bluestar23 - 10:34am Nov 5, 2003 EST (# 16566 of 16571)

I wonder....will the Times make a new Missile Defense discussion, or fold it into something bigger....
