dear nadine, >>>>>>It has worked 100% so far. anyone who wished to strike the US would never use something as traceable as an ICBM. Whay you fail to understand is the complexity of failsafe and the fact the the number is countries who need failsafe is ever increasing. Could not some group hi-jack a facility and launch for what ever purposes. Now you talk of 100%, I see the hatred of the Cole and other bombings. You also may not understand that all the technology to assemble and operate and the parts from what ever surplus are available for any with the money. Also many countries have the ability to manufacture the technology and sell to anyone with the money. What is the difference between a rocket to launch a satellite into obit and an ICBM, the software or program. >>>>>Trust me, this thought has occurred to one or two people outside our borders. For many years the US has had the ability to be an Imperial aggressor and has not taken that path. What did America do at the end of WW2. All larger countries if ruled by anyone with half a brain know America is not about taking over the world. So I don't see any reaction to deploying a Missile defense system other than a lot of whining to con folks who think like you do. >>>>>If we paid them to do something useful, instead of work on this immense boondogle? Nadine trust me, I'm an engineer, their are no boondogie in pursuing high technology systems like Missile Defense. The applied science advances have numerous benefits. Many times the greatest advances come about not out of planning but as an artefact of some other goal. The tangible value of a Missile defense system is that such and attack will never be planned and the cost of the technology will turn out in the long run to be negative anyway. But don't spend it on technology and it will be spent on congress. tom watson tosiwmee
