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?

Cantabb ... keep dipping your goose feather into the virtual ink pot ... no one reads your stuff

I don't care who reads MY post, but YOU certainly do it. Or else, why should you feel so obliged to answer my posts, in specific detail ?

Your on-again-off-again-"Ignore"- charade is out in the open.

What a farce !

Unfortunately, I can't say much about YOUR posts -- nothing there worth a mention-- but I read them to bring your (and rshow's) faux moralistic naivete down to where it really belongs. And, it's pretty easy !

It's curtains in a few days ! But I suspect there'll be more convulsions before it's put to rest. It's been done for long but waiting for someone to stick a fork into it.

Turkey, any one ?

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

Checking in on Korean Culture ... here .... http://theseoultimes.com/ST/ .. begs the question is Seoul on the West Coast of America ?

"" she looked at the Koreans working hard around her and wondered why these couldn't be foreign faces staring back. With this in mind she enlisted the help of Ms. Lee and the Korean Study Room was born. http://theseoultimes.com/ST/

How long before Korean becomes the 'offical language of the USA' :)
