    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.

Formatting's not right -- but with Mark Heuman's wonderful help I'm working to "publish" a CD that archives this thread, from the beginning, with some collected searches and comment. Eventually with a search facility, and other things useful for "connecting the dots." Here, not exactly as it appears, but with the content, is the index page, as now:

I'll try to get into contact with the copyright holders with significant stakes -- and try to work something out that makes sense -- giving them free use of the disk editions that use their material -- promising not to use the disk for commercial purposes without notifying them - - and perhaps some other things. I believe that this can be done in a way that is fair to all concerned, and that sets good precedents, rather than bad ones.

I'd be proud for the chance to get a copy of this archive disk into the hands of all major politicians in America (and some in Europe and Asia) if I could. That won't be possible. But some things might be.

I think the disk will be useful in a number of ways.

One way is in discussion of "collecting, connecting and correcting of dots".
