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?

There's nothing I can write, just now, any better than the extensive collection of good stuff in http://www.mrshowalter.net/Reader_Discussion_'Repress_Yourself'.htm taken from Reader Discussion: 'Repress Yourself'

As of now, that is linked to the MD board - but soon, it will be relinked to the same links (about 12 mb in all) on http://www.mrshowalter.net/

I've put up the full threads of

Guardian: Psychwarfare, Casablanca . . . and terror http://www.mrshowalter.net/Psychwar1_Recent.htm

Guardian: Paradigm Shift - whose getting there? http://www.mrshowalter.net/Paradigm1_Recent.htm

Guardian: Mankind's Inhumanity to Man http://www.mrshowalter.net/MankindsInhumanity1_Recent.htm

Guardian: Detail, and the Golden Rule http://www.mrshowalter.net/a_md01000s/DetailNGR.htm

on http://www.mrshowalter.net/ - and links in these thread collections will be updated to http://www.mrshowalter.net/ as time permits.

After the MD thread ends, I'll have some time to summarize. And condense, in a way that isn't possible in the heat of what has too often been a battle. I'm looking forward to that.
