"You assume that this star wars approach is the only approach"

I do not, so your point is meaningless.

" It was determined 30 years ago that this approach will not stop a determined enemy who can overwhelm the system"

I would guess that 30 years before we went to the moon that it was determenied that could not be done either. Can't fault your logic here because there is none. Unless that is you know what our capabilites and our enemies in 30 years from now. I doubt that seriously btw.

"It's no coincidence that Rumsfeld is pushing the system that will make the most money for the defense contractors who support him"

That is your whacky theory that our leaders don't care about our safety and only want to get rich, but I say there is no support for that other than your mis-trust of America's leaders and our intentions as a nation. Which seems considerable btw.
