    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?

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.

Mazza , you know that a great deal of discussion directly on missile defense happens on this thread. It exists in a context.

You could argue that I've been moving slowly since the time of the following postings.

Challenge, questions, and invokation of the need for force:

Perhaps I have been moving slowly. One reason is that I've felt that things have been moving toward a situation where a lot of things could get solved. Another reason is that it is essential to get situations set up where right answers are possible -- rather than certain to be evaded.

A key reason to want technical answers to questions about missile defense is that those answers would move toward larger answers to questions the whole world needs, and is coming to know it needs:

Mazza , as you know, this thread has been going on since the middle of 2000, and I've been active on it since September 25, 2000. A great deal has been accomplished on this thread, I believe, and it sometimes helps to review the headings that it has had, and some of the history.

I believe that I'm doing, as nearly as it possibly can be done, exactly what Bill Casey would want me to do now, for the good of the United States of America, and for the safety and decency of the world.

If anyone explored this link (above) -- one article seemed to say that the USA had OKAYED the Israeli assault to continue for at least 4 more days! Silence from Bush is taken as the OK to kill and keep killing!
