A lot of the debate is probably questions about the facts as much as it is ideology or disagreement about goals. I''m sure most opponents of missile defense would be for it if it turns out it cost $5 bil. a year and provides a near perfect shield and most proponents of missile defense would be against it if it turns out it will cost $200 bil. a year or more and can't even reliably shoot down attacks by single missiles. The truth will presumably be somewhere in between, but the question of where in that range is an important one. I think that is just about right.
