    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.

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

Lchic has the most valuable mind I've ever had the honor to work with. (click rshow55).

"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you no sense of decency?" - Joseph Welch, special counsel in the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings.

When people in 1954 watched television, and asked themselves Welch's question - politics changed.

It has been almost half a century - and there have been enormous changes. Including changes in our sense of decency.

The decisions Morgenson describes happened and were long tolerated.

Deals Within Telecom Deals By GRETCHEN MORGENSON http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/25/business/yourmoney/25TELE.html

Ethics in the military-industrial complex, and in the security agencies, are likely to be at a lower standard.

There's plenty of evidence that the standards are, at best, no higher.

That bears careful thinking about, when the Bush administration says "trust us."
