    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.

If you look hard, you might find places where I've had some questions about GW Bush. So much the more reason for checking.

It is still true, that the US discussions at the UN and with NATO allies and with Russia put real, and substantial, limits on what Bush can arbitrarily do.

He isn't asking to be completely trusted in international relations.

Which is, of course, a good thing.

And a very good reason that there need to be mechanisms for checking - and some moral and practical force behind them.

Bush is not the only world leader who has been deceptive or evasive.

Finally the top award, for parliamentarian of the year, went to Tony Blair, if only in awed recognition of the way that he dominates the old place. "He can do cool, he can do Churchill, he can do a cool Churchill" - http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,845141,00.html

"I know I have an expiration date. I just want it to be way in the future. Like a cheeto" - B

Clown shows are important. Their importance can be checked and verified not only as regards their authenticity and usefulness but also as concerns their symmetricality and focality of rightness and straight shooting. For instance would a clown lie to you, of course he would that is his universal mantra, here smell my flower nothing to be concerned about or to be checked or dotted, simply to be smelled. Swooosh. This is the life of a clown and it is a life that can not only be checked and dotted, but also can be reviewed along its symmetrically focalized existentialism.
I have to go feed my hamster. Out.

"Still waiting to hear Muslim Leaderships really condemn terrorism .... "

As long as they evade that - they will get but little respect in the United States - and a lot of other countries.
