The sad, sorry fact is all it takes is one perfectly placed nuke in an exo-atmospheric burst to bring the country to a complete halt
What a liberal crock.
With math that even you can handle, you can see that there is more than the three warheads needed that will likely get through.
This is precisely the kind of non-thinking I'm talking about.
As a software engineer for the last three or so decades, I've seen exponential growth in every area of technology I work with. When Reagan was elected a 300MB disk drive unit stood three feet tall and cost $40,000. Since this is the AMD thread, I'm sure I don't need to point out the exponential growth in processing capability. Newer technologies on the horizon will certainly provide for order-of-magnitude increases in our capabilities in the areas of computer power, communications speeds, and optics.
Even an extremely slow individual like yourself can surely see that the defeat of ANY number of incoming warheads is a matter of time.
Yeah, North Korea or Libya could do the same, but that seems to be a rather brain dead way to commit national suicide.
Yes, well, I think we are clear that, for some at least, national suicide is no longer out the question. It is foolhardy to ignore the promise of SDI. It's ultimate deployment may well be 50 years off, but the benefits are substantial. While we certainly will face other threats during this period, it is essential that our leadership continue development on the several fronts.
The people who have suggested that SDI is an "unattainable goal" are either liberals with an undisclosed contradictory agenda or simply lack the intellect to see the obvious. |
