There is NO defense against Incoming sea based weapons There is no defense against many diseases.....does that mean we should not look for them? I would be happy to have all nations have a defense against these weapons but if available, I certainly want to protect my family and loved ones. I think that would be my duty and therefore also the duty of the Gov't to try to protect it's citizens. Someone mentioned that a tightly controlled Gov't like China would never think of an attack on our west coast. That person obviously was not around in 1941 and is not familiar with world history. Japan at that time had a very tightly controlled gov't. Many of the remains are still there for all to see and every American should, if able. A missile defense is not a threat against any country. We already have offensive weapons. This is like buying insurance, in this case against nuts IMHO. If it hurts the price of my largest equity holding, so be it. Small premium to pay to live in freedom. Others have payed FAR more! Bob
