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 think some things in 7632-7635 were fairly clear about oscillatory solutions..."

Only that you apparently don't know what you're talking about. Give and take in discourse is not your invention, Robert. I has nothing to do with oscillation or periodictiy. Get over it.

"... - but if you're in a hurry for an answer - perhaps that means you need one you can use...'

I'm not in any kind of a hurry and I know you'll never give an answer that makes any sense. Therefore you could never offer an "oscillatory solution" that would be of use to me. How could you offer any solution to whatever problems I might have if you don't even know who I am or even if I have any problems? Do you have a general solution to all problems? I'd be interested to know what it is if you think so. :-) I doubt it though since you can't, by your own admission, even seem to solve your own problems, oh master of oscillatory solutions.

"... - one that can be discussed by the people involved...."

You and I are the only people involved, Robert. I'm trying to discuss this with you because I don't have anything better to do. Sad isn't it? Nobody else is stupid enough to even ask you what you mean. Why do I?

This is not a question and answer kind of thing. It's a question and evasion kind of thing.

I ask a question and you evade. You may not think what you do is evasion. You may just think it's "going slow" or "too complex to define" or some other silly excuse...but I think it's really just that you don't want to admit you don't know what you're talking about.

You just sort of bluster and spin your wheels.

I suppose I get some sort of twisted entertainment value from watching such an inflated ego as yours be so powerless to justify itself. You often seem like a spider that keeps getting caught in its own web...or perhaps you're the Wiley Coyote of web forums. Something like that.

That's why I do this.

Saddam "was born in Iraq and would continue leading his country until the 'end' of his life" said Iraqi official.

The CRACKS are SHOWING in the EUROPEAN ALLIANCE ...... France/Germany ... and at the UN ...

CHINA - not for an American led attack!

China is worried and uneasy --- position close to that of France .... more time required to find weapons of mass destruction.

Turkey Iran Syria --- will loose cash (to smuggling) if an Iraqi war ....
