Science
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?

Commentaries
Commondata: The European countries that you list, (except
England, Portugal and Spain) were attacked and conquered by
the Kaiser and Hitler. Those white crosses in Flanders and on
the hill overlooking Normandy show the price we paid to make
these countries free. Why don't you put a price on those
American lives that you so flippantly minimize!

That was then This is now
The USA's assitance with WWII is currently under
discussion, within the context of 'Iraq', as folks weigh the
pros and cons of getting it back into line!
The Commondata post benchmarked 'the now' ... with regard
to (wrt) current standards.
