Jim,

I grew up in Los Alamos, and I can tell you exactly what Star Wars is about. I've seen these boondoggles a dozen times now.

It is about jobs, and military contractors and stimulating the economy. The collateral technology from a Star Wars project may be quite valuable, but the target technology is a complete waste of time and money.

Star Wars is Keynesian economics hidden behind a conservative facade.
