    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.

NOT Asperger's Syndrome -

Antisocial people have problems getting relationships because of the terrible way they treat people.

Most antisocial personalities look and act like normal people. You probably know one and don't even know it. They don't seem very abnormal until you see them "in action". They are devoid of empathy, but they can act normal or likable at times.

A socially astute sociopath would probably say "A demon made me do it" as a taunt to authority. If the person actually believes what they said, then I would say schizophenia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pulling up a map of Washington the whole town seems dominated by 'military' locations.

The random strikes of the unknown sniper produce terror - as would random air strikes on 'elsewhere' nations.

To reduce 'town-terror' the spot checking of vehicles and removal of fire arms might assist.

Forensics may have a 'picture' of the sniper built ... he has neither imagination nor sense of personal pain - no empathy.

Would the US appear sniper-like to people in those countries that endured conflict over past two decades?
