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?

This quote from the missile defense forum king

What would Bill Casey want me to do now?

I just called the psychic hotline and madam volinkska told me to tell you that Bill Casey wants you to go to monument valley and fast for 3 days and 3 nights. At the end of this time you will have a vision and all will be revealed.
Good luck.
You owe me $6.66 of psychic phone charges. I accept pay-pal.

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.

Maybe I could stand to lose some weight, at that. As for the $6.66 --- with your name and adress - and a way to check the validity of the information - I'll remit happily.

If I have a chance to pay for your advice, I'll take it.

'validity of information'? from a psychic hotline, from a psychic called madam Valinkska?
Uhhh, I'm not sure, but I don't think they guarantee their advice partner.
But the 'Monument Valley' and the 'Arches' are some of the holiest spots on the planet. That I guarantee. Stay out there long enough and you will see what it's all about. That I will also guarantee.

In place of Robert I would take your word to be truth. It seems so natural you would seek an advise from madam Valinkska...

With the cold war over, more global conflicts are being spurred by a scramble for natural resources rather than by geopolitics, and poor countries rich in mineral deposits are the new focal point. - http://english.pravda.ru/columnists/2002/12/05/40412.html

$6.66 is a devil of a price to pay!
