KyrosL--But don't you know the inner folks behind Bush are Bud Shuster types and that this crowd could make lots of money should America move forward with such a missle defense system? The hell with the treaty! Not only that, the politicians who'd push such a system would get to look busy and good postulating their toughness in front of at least half of 33 percent who'd participate in an election to elect them within their respective districts. With Dick Cheney--who stopped voting in local, state and national primary elections--as a glowing example, I think the system politicians want most Americans not to vote. This way a small electorate can be better controlled and manipulated by those who have the money to buy the big media. Back to the missle defense system: What a tremendous waste of money!!!

<<The idea that a small hostile country like Iraq will hit the US with a missile is the most ludicrous proposition I have ever heard.First, such an action will invite certain annihilation of the offending country. It's easy to detect who launched the missile.>> But like in the attack on the USS Cole we don't know who launched the missile. Or say it was the Chinese who launched their 19 nukes so they could take Taiwan. We launch, the Russians launch? Better to stop incoming nukes than try to fight back. Once they hit so will the shit hit the fan.
