Fair enough answers, my argument is that only a few dollars should be pushed towards "star wars" projects. Typically, history shows plenty of evidence where big advances in science and technology occur with minimum investment anyway. My main argument is that the primary nuclear threat to the USA does not come from a bomb delivered by a rocket. The ME is a source of considerable political tension to the USA (and Western world) because of it dependence on Oil. Therefore, as a first guess, I would place tax and investment dollars on the projects mentioned earlier in the following order. (1) Alternative fuels development/nuclear energy. (2) Energy conservation (3) "Climate change protection" (as opposed to "green, pass a bunch of laws and proliferate the need for legal proceedings") (4) Fossil fuel exploration. (5) Star Wars. Paid for along the lines you have suggested, over time. btw, I think Bush has done a great job, even had to change his original position on some policies. He has responded correctly to some big challanges imho.
