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?

"'USE' this forum as a dumping ground for your personal problems, bioghraphical details, spiralling self-referencing links, conspiracy theories, paranoia etc -- and a rehash of the whole thing a number of times, I think you can relax: THAT "Mission" was "Accomplished""

Ha!...it's true....that the one thing Showalter HAS accomplished was to endlessly abuse the forum to his own crazed ends, he's been quite successful at that... !

.... the current position is a "disservice to democracy".

He told the Guardian last night: "For reasons that are laudable and honourable, we have got to a situation where our coverage has become sanitised. We are running the risk of double standards, and it is not a service to democracy."

British television viewers have not seen images of dead or injured British soldiers since the Falklands war, he said. "The culture has become more and not less sanitised over the years. We have a problem, and we need to start a debate about this."

How's PAULINE going? (fredMore)

Pauline - FortyNiner - left her tin shed palace

a few hours ago

The court of appeal overturned the 3year conviction

Pauline held a press conference at the prison gates

Said how formerly, as an MP she'd visited prisons and passed legislation

But from the inside

There were so many innocents held

remarking on ONE STANDARD for the rich with representation

ANOTHER for the poor

Rallying retired solicitors and judges she urged that they join with her to set innocents FREE

Prison had really changed her - she said.

Tonight she paints the town!

Tickertape parade tomorrow -- after the makeover :)

Australian David HICKS

wrote a letter home to Dad, via the Red Cross

David had lost weight

and his sense of humor

Mr Hicks judged from the letter that days and time

were concepts lost

What's happening in Cuba ????
