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?

Lchick......

My "filthy inflammatory racist style" entirely matches the TOTAL irrelevance of the demagogic content of YOUR anti-US/pro-3rd world "anyone" posts which don't contribute ANYTHING to the forum's avowed topic header.

And I don't back away from my accusation that you seem to have stumbled out of a jungle and are now pronouncing judgements against a WORLD you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand or deal with.

Basically...you seem to equate the needs of a tribe of cannibals to those of a Great Nation that landed MEN on The Moon.

Yes, it's terrible that forest pygmies are being eaten alive by some degenerate marxist rebels...but please try to put the matter into context......those pygmies belong in a nature preserve, and their tormenters are akin to wildlife poachers!!!

See what I mean, Lchick......

Now you're CONCERNED about Sodom Hussy's Valiant Heroism in the face of the likes of George Bush.

You really DO admire THE BIG MAN, don't you?!?!? You just can't bear the thought that your HERO would be chopped into little pieces in a hail of depleted uranium bullets... preferring instead to fumble about for a suitable exile venue!!!

Ridiculous!!!....and sad......

'The Poster' posing first as Cooper then as CommonData in the two posts above .....

uhmm ... in conversation with himself in posts yesterday he offered himself self-congratulations with respect to his authorship/Jonhson of a book ... did he realise this?

The ego streak got stroked......

YOU...ARE...DELUSIONAL!!!

You belong in a maximum security mental ward...if not an isolation cell, lined with rubber padding!!!

WHO is "The Poster", anyway??? I submit it's ANYONE who disagrees with you. Sometimes I'M "Johnson"...sometimes "Cooper"...maybe even "Mazza"...and NOW the poor sap "Commondata"!!!

What I'd like to know is......WHO (and what) ARE YOU???

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.

http://forums.nytimes.com/webin/WebX?8@93.m5Veaw5G1ga.84831@.f28e622/3212 includes this, and begins a series of postings that I think staffs of nation states, and other interested parties, might be able to use.

Is gisterme a high officer in the Bush administration, or does gisterme have close connections to such an officer? I've assumed so. The government knows this answer. People at the NYT know whether or not they have assumed so, or known so. Legislators could probably know if they asked, and journalists could probably find out if they worked at it. There is enough text that some steps toward identification of gisterme could be taken by computerized text analysis. Usually, it is a bad idea to try to "strip away" the anonymity of a poster. But there ought to be exceptions for sufficient reasons. I believe an exception would be justified in this case. Links to this thread by gisterme prior to March 1, 2002 are no longer available on the web, but they are available for inspection. Links thereafter have live links.
