    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.

Seems <><><> is 'quite' MAD tonight ...Quite quite 'mad' ....

<><><> Sir, the following inflammatory racist style remark ... and you've made a few recently .. is hardly in keeping with a person who submits material for-fee publication to such a 'Prestigious' and 'highly regarded' publication as the New York Times.

What would Indigenous Australian people - most networked to the internet, make of <><><> the NYT 'science' Staffer's following comments which beggar belief!

  • Australian aborigine flapping your inner-tube lips
  • Severely circumscribed world-view
With respect to the 'position' at the Times that you <><><> hold, I feel obligated to bring to the attention of Aboriginal people your 'scientific' viewpoints with respect to them.

~~~~~

Posters entering the worldwide NYT forum are met with the a 'greeting' to encourage participation.

~~~~~

<><><> n.b.

  • I don't put up personal stuff on this board.
  • I have never 'met' any of the posters on this board.

    Whereas You - in your purported 'capacity as a CIA officer' - your terminology - met Showalter - who says you were debriefing him - to 'bring him him' .... what ever that means. Seemingly you either made a false claim or you don't have the competence and capacity to follow through. I wouldn't know. Yet there was a vacuum ... hence he head-hunted me --- your loss George, my gain.

    So the basis of your unwarrented personal attack comes from ..... where exactly .... ? Is it that you're jealous of Showalter's capacity for original thinking? Is your own personal life in turmoil? --- Don't tell the board -- no one cares to hear.

    ~~~~~

    As i've said before - Missiles are rusting junk - momentos of the Cold War that need taking to the scrap heap for recycling.

    The 'mind' is mighter than the missile!

    The technology is available to give the people of the world a basic living standard - why isn't American Foreign Policy structured to improve standards rather than, as in the past, support deadbeats with redundant viewpoints.

    And <><><> - most often - the content of your own posts - not those 'fed' to you - are akin to tripe - trivial, diversionary, and often tasteless, as above. So why are you trying to deny that 'The Poster' is YOU - <><><> --- check with your colleagues -- they'll have your number! Your sweet personality so often shines through!

    Seoul

    "I am deeply sorry for injuries, damage or suffering caused by this accident for anyone on the ground," the pilot, who was not identified, said in a statement. He suffered slight injuries.

    "I did everything I could with the aircraft to keep it away from densely populated areas before I had to eject. When I recover from my injuries, I hope to meet with those most affected and personally let them know how sorry I am for this accident," he said. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2003/01/item20030127160809_1.htm
