RE:"Reagan stimulated the economy through Star Wars, and Bush is using the same playbook."

Reagan had a cold war to win. He took over a country demoralized by Carter.
Bush has no cold war only a country demoralized in a different way by Clinton. Bush should be his own man. Not follow Reagan...

RE:"Cruise missiles rarely hit a stationary target, much less one moving at 5,000 miles per hour."

I thought Star Wars was a laser beam that took out the missle at apogee. when it was moving relatively slow?

Then its a good thing that there is no plan to use cruise missiles for missile defense.
