Don--this missile defense system is the most brain-dead thing I've ever heard--it makes Bush's tax plan look like the act of a frickin' genius. Let's see, if North Korea wants to blow our asses up, here are their two choices:
one, send a guy into Washington DC with a suitcase nuclear bomb, smuggled over the border. The bomb is, by definition, completely anonymous, because no one knows who brought it in. It goes off, and 1 million people are instantly dead, not to speak of the radiation in the atmosphere. We don't retaliate, because we don't know who to retaliate against.
or, two, North Korea (or some "rogue" state), sends an easily traceable ICBM over the ocean to blow up one of our cities, assuming it's accurate. We see where the ICBM was launched from, and we blow the living shit out of everything that moves in NK.
Okay, your the head of NK--which option do you choose???
