    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.

You're asking too much of a successful professional politician and responsible U.S. president, it seems to me. Bush can't possibly trade away thinkable oil money except as part of a package. Moreover - stability of oil markets is a key security need of the US.

Sorry to disrupt your excitement regarding Bolton's excrusions but what I heard was that Chinese were laughing so hard that they couldn't even respond to Bolton's bold push to scare NKs with UN security council resolutions....Bolton, being the "expert" on Chinese and NK strategic thoughts then interpreted their smiles as a slient agreement to his proposals...these Bush guys are better than anything Hollywood can produce.

.. look back at the 1972 hyperinflation issues ... where greedy oil-sellers were trying to kill the advanced economies!

"" North has 11,000 artillery pieces trained toward Seoul across the most heavily fortified frontier on earth. ""

When North and South Koreans are 'the same' people ... that Soul is the prospective reception-center for so much potential-death is hard to understand.

China has 'Olympics on it's mind' --- it will want the NK situation peacefully sorted out soonest.
