    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.

"Quae cum ita sunt" Caesar's Gallic Commentaries

Lunarchick:

Be that as it may, (quae cum ita sunt), my point is still valid. The US has spent its men, money, and material to make the world a safer place where freedom can reign. Yes we have warts but at least we try! You talk a good game but one of my congregation members walks the walk and talks the talk.

Clarie is a retired kindergarten teacher and has adopted Sierra Leone! She travels around Texas at her own expense raising funds to help rebuild that country after 12 years of civil war. She'll sell you a T-Shirt or other garment made by these industrious people so that they can re-establish an economic and religious way of life! She is a member of the State Dept's People to People Ambassador program and has traveled to the Iran to establish friendship and support. While there she met a sister of a Kurdish family that our church adopted. She and her husband, (now deceased), traveled to Japan and attended a bible study which was conducted by Commander Fuchida the Pearl Harbor attack commander. Yes, he's still alive and a practicing Christian! You can quibble about our efforts but I've seen the "real" diplomats who carry/display our values to the rest of the world. No propoganda just good deeds!

lunarchick 11/26/02 2:05pm - 'social communicative systems' are paramount.

... as this diagram clearly demonstrates.

Confucious say: when it rain and man retire to house ... it just seem like man hate his garden and seek to leave it.

Got some bandaids?... I think my neighbour has chicken pox?

Ok, here is my prediciton...let's just say I got tired of the self-righteous BS from Mazza...again...

By early 2003, NK will conduct a hydrogen bomb test coupled with a simulated tactical cruise missle/nuke-induced EMB test over the Japan sea....and most likely a baekdusan-2 space lauch vehicle will go up...simulating the release and explosion of a nuke-induced EM bomb in the space field of any known coordination.....

mazza and others will scream and holler about their "importance" and "impotence" ..whatever it is....and the circle of life and destruction will go on...as it should. I just hope that I don't have to bear with mazza-like whinings and self delusions during the next round.

Iraq

The guy in charge to 1994 said pick out 100 key scientists + families - interview them abroad.

Said 12000 worked in Iraq Nuke industry in 1994
