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?

I have no idea of the origin of Rshow's delusion that you may well be Condoleeza Rice or, for that matter, Lunarchick's paranoia that all who disagree with her may be her nemesis, the NYT arch-villain "George Johnson".

What's really sad is that Rshow, between his hints at dark conspirators deleting his precious monologues, and wheedling reminders that he's GOING TO THINK LONG AND HARD about your posts, is revealing himself as a chronic wino who delivers his diatribes from a dripping pay-terminal at the bus depot, whose LIFE'S WORK is stored on an antiquated Winchester Drive grinding itself to death beneath the cobwebbed clogged counter of the Greyhound ticket clerk......who HOPES you'll recognize HIS GENIUS after all, and hire him, and his crack-"horror" secretary, Lunarchick, onto your staff!!!
