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?

If Johnson is 'posting himself into a frazzel' must mean there's a lot worth reading on the board above .... or the CNN Iraq feature was excellent television!

Rice could be great...

Admit it......you and lchic are only saying that because she's black. You're both too politically correct to say otherwise.

I say that because she tutored GW in foreign policy, and you don't have any problem trashing Bush. They both have the same views, so race HAS to be the reason for your support.

'How much do you make?'...'Well I'd half to look at the books, but I think around $100 week'....wife-'You don't make $100 a week'...husband-'They can't prove that, we don't keep books'..

Remember when people were nice? heehee

American Foreign Policy ( it is said ) changes every 24 hours .....

Ask an American what there Foreign Policy was 24 hours ago .... and they won't know

Above, a radio sound bite, would that be right? :)

Johnson you're transfixed with the external image of women, thanks for the info on Rice - wow - didn't know that ... what does it mean ... etc

If you read our posts you'd note a need to move to a humanitarian world view (that's happening), and a greater understanding of human nature, the animal in man, the Laws and Rules of nature and successful culture ....

Sad that Rice was picked on by the Right-Right-Right wing ( was that the Nazi school?) and indoctrinated ... but she can and is moderating to overcome that ..

As above - a week, day, hour in politics is a long time ...

What do politicians really stand for ...

Why do they change and move their positions like fireflies dancing ....

Why do people move from one party to another ...

Why? Why? Why?

Showalter might say 'because socio-culture is complex and in constant flux' ...

There's a lot of GREEN GOODNESS required .... everyone can assist - and wow isn't RICE GREEN in the paddock! Sure it is! You bet ya!

Here's a thought:

Political Parties are seen as being either progressive or conservative ... but there's a bit of each in all.

What would happen to America if Rice became a progressive .... if she took the millstone off the neck of the Conservative party ... opened up the hive ... exposed it for what it is ... held them by the left leg and shook all that GREED out of their pockets ...

Put a new philosophy into 'Right' leapfrogging 'Right' over left, so rather than it being right of left, it's left of left -- out there setting trends, seeking new directions ... back to former days of glory --- wasn't that memory from the nineteenth century why she joined ... along with a tantalising development package ....
