re:"SDI is foolish" Hey Ray, How you doing? Anyway, my point is that, I believe, Israel has two anti missile systems deployed right now, the Patriot (I believe we're up to generation III), and the Arrow. In addition, I believe several Western European countries have purchased Patriot Anti Missile systems (I believe that Germany is one). The United States, because of its large land mass (and distance from a possibly hostile nuclear power) would not be well served by a relatively short range system like the Patriot or Arrow. Lastly, I don't believe that a system as envisioned by Reagan, is what the U.S. is planning to build.
