"Is it your contention that the US military should be limited to direct defense of US soil?" My contention is that the current defense is sufficient....there is no evidence to support that it will not be sufficient in the future. Therefore we do not need star wars. We are combining different issues which should probably be broken up in to two debates. 1 - Missile Defense - We have gone over this a lot before but there is no current defense. I do understand that you think deterence is sufficient and there is no defense needed. 2 - Modest increases in other areas of defense to pay for such things as readiness, fixing the Cole, unfunded changes in Military Health care from the Clinton administration, and a few other things. No military force has attacked the territory of the US in the last 30 years. You seemed to use that statement to support the idea that no increase in military spending was needed. Is that statement limited to "Star Wars", or would it include the changes I discussed above? What about such things as defense against short range missile attacks on our army or navy or our allies?
