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?

Commondata, on the other hand bespeakes his "handle". He spoke of the Reagan era and "real politik" without once spitting on the floor and uttering inconsiderate, infantile epithets.

Kudos to commondata!

Robert and lchic! Go to your room!

If staffed organizations started asking some questions - we might live in a considerably safer world.

Perhaps, to some degree, it is happening. It needs to.
