Reagan was on the right track with his Star Wars idea. We could have withdrawn all our troops and lived happily ever after producing our own goods and services. But, oh no, he was ridiculed for having the idea. That would never be allowed because then there could not be a World Order.


we don't live in a vacuum, that is a dream. Even with an actual, functioning Star Wars System, you don't think the rise of the emerging markets wouldn't have affected the US economy? Manufacturing wouldn't have taken advantage of lower wage/costs in China, India, etc? The US cost structure became exposed as overly expensive, once we started dealing outside of our borders..but, I think there is very little we could have done about that, it is just the system reverting to equilibrium.

Star Wars was just another military/industrial complex boondoggle....another grossly overpriced program that enriched the military contractors.

If you think the Star Wars system would have keep our troops within our borders, I think you are seriously mistaken.
