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.

It would be worth money, a great deal of safety, and worth honor too for leaders of nation states, all over the world, to ask that some key things about the history of the Cold War be checked.

Lies are unstable. Because they are unstable, there is a great deal of hope, if people show some reasonably courage.

Whatever your religious feelings may be, it is important to stay awake. Here's a sermon worth listening too - mostly secular after the first 9 minutes -- especially the last 30 seconds. . . http://www.wisc.edu/rshowalt/sermon.html

How can I play it any straighter? What more could Casey, or Eisenhower, of "the average reader of The New York Times reasonably ask of me?

"I'd like to post links to a Guardian thread where I've said many of the most important things I'd like people to know. Psychwarfare, Casablanca -- and terror

including the key story, #13.. http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?7@@.ee7a163/13 ... to #23.. http://talk.guardian.co.uk/WebX?7@@.ee7a163/24

There simply is no alternative but for us to put the Cold War behind us. And that means that some core facts - that must be clear, for any reasonable shaping of the future --- must be set out.

I think that this thread is part of that.

I'm asking that some things be checked. I believe that I deserve that much -- in the national interest, the world interest, and my own.

back tomorrow.

ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing : build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation

Hot pot

Bush in a muddle
Stands in a puddle

back-hands the rich

The poor toil!
