Geez, considering how inaccurate you are regarding your ABM comments, it makes one wonder how accurate you are in all your others. The facts are that the proposed NMD is not Reagan's Star Wars and nowhere near comes close to 400 billion. I suspect eventually the Russians will wake up to the fact that adjusting the ABM treaty is also in their interests. You Do know that they went a head and built their allowed ABM system around Moscow don't you?? They still have it. Are you also aware that the old Soviet Union was busy circumventing the treaty by building an illegal battle management radar to make the system country wide?? Good thing for us they imploded first.

Regretfully, as time marches on, technological development spreads out. It has been over 50 years now since the German V-2. Even arm pit nations like N. Korea can develop and Sell missile technology, and learn to make nuclear weapons. I'll believe the N Koreans have turned over a new leaf when they start cutting their military down to size and pull their massive build up Away from the S Korean border. Remember what they used to call the old Soviet Union?? Upper Volta with Rockets.

Another reason for US NMD not talked about much is the growing probabilities of China and Russia breaking up. We have a good basis of fact for how two opposite powers react with nuclear weapons (USA & the Soviet Union); break down and civil war we don't.......yet. Pakistan and India seem to be following in our footsteps. BTW, India is Ahead of the US in particle beam development. Don't be surprised if the US ends up being the Only country without ABM defense.
