Apparently you missed it. That story on anthrax was illustrative of the folly of those who would effectively place US security in the hands on those known for not abiding treaties. I made that clear at the preface and end. So instead of confronting that reality, he diverted to discussing anthrax and then defaming the publisher - the former being irrelevant and the latter, risible. He acted just as any good Stalinist would in claiming anything that is published that confronted his faith to be the product of a fascist press. To those who haven't followed that ideology, the Stalinist Left and its progeny effectively maintain that any press to the right of their press is fascist. The fact that the Soviets violated the ABM and 1972 Biological Weapons treaties is either true or it isn't. And I can find no reputable source that denies that it is true. So what is the point of raging on about Conrad Black and Murdoch? His rant makes no sense. It is a diversion from reality and truth. Furthermore, even if the Russians were to abide to the ABM treaty, how does that minimize the threat from other nations or worse, from terrorists with $100's of millions? It doesn't. I was amazed that after the WTC and Pentagon attacks some dullards seized the day to state that this hurt the cause of missile defense. As if the first bullet to head renders all bullet-proof vests useless. Can you imagine what will happen to the world when "rogue" states and unbalanced terrorists do get nuclear missiles? Missile defense offers the only possibility that US policy will not be blackmailed by that threat. Effective deterrence or its possibility will make the acquisition and use of such weapons far less likely. Missile defense is certainly not a complete solution but it is a necessary solution.
