   	At this point we are no longer talking in ANY way about "stealth". Here   
   you assume you not only know where the target is, but that you're going   
   to destroy it using espionage methods, not "somehow shoot it without it   
   knowing your shooting", said concept being, so to speak, "shot down"   
   long ago.   
      
   	No one has contended, as far as I know, that you couldn't fight a war   
   over assets in space. Just that you're not going to do it by ghosting up   
   to them and blowing them away like a Romulan Warbird because they didn't   
   see you until you were too close to escape.
