The intent of the star wars project was not a defense system but rather to bring global paranoia and hysteria to new highs... I believe you are very mistaken about this, but how can you know some one's intent? Tim, We have no enemy that is comparable to us in firepower. How can a star wars defense system do anything but foster more fear. Its intent is to create enough fear in any potential enemy so they will not attack. You may see this as a good thing, I don't. In fact I see it as a major loss of $$$. Besides, there is no power in the world with the economic wherewithall to be able to match us in firepower. This need to build more weapons and foster more fear is a throwback to a level of machismo and thinking that is no longer appropriate in a world where large distances can be covered very quickly and where the firepower is sufficient to easily destroy life as we know it. ted
