What, I ask- is george bush doing initiating a huge project that involves creating a missle "defense" system that can pretty much penetrate any target from the sky? No need for nuclear submarines, no need for infantry, no need for b2 bombers.. not only that, he got canadas help in it too. What the hell is he thinking?!! Let's build something to defend us which is actually an offensive weapon!

I'm pissed and worried.

we dont need a better fucking military. the US is the best in the world. and if California was a country all by it self, it would be ranked 3rd.

Can you shoot down a nuke with a nuclear submarine? Can you shoot it down with a troop firing M-16s? Can you shoot it down with a B2 bomber?

I'm not sure on the exact time, but if some crazy pakistani terrorists got their hands on some nukes and ballistic missiles and decided to lob one across the pacific at us, we would only have like 15 minutes before it hit. In a case like this, I think I would rather have one missile defense system for the entire country than 100s of soldiers, tanks, bombers and subs just for myself.

The missile defense system has merit. It's a defensive weapon against the biggest threat (after China) that we have... stray Nukes. Did you know they measure the impact of modern day nukes in Megadeaths? It's entirely possible for some nutcase to obtain a nuclear weapon (broken down Russia) and develop a delivery mechanism for it (ala Peacemaker). Even if it doesn't get to America, it could easily get to another one of our allies. Theatre Defense is the best option in that respect.

However, how would you all feel if China built a missile defense system? It would seem quite a bit threatening. It would destroy half of the mutually assured destruction agreement, like we had with USSR. It may be a defensive weapon, and you can view it as such when you're the one being defended. However, when the other side has it, plus enough offensive capability to destroy you, it feels very threatening. I can see where it has it's problem in the real world.

um...a fusion reactor can't "go boooom". all that's there is really hot plasma circling around. if it escaped, it would cool so fast that the only damage would be to the reactor itself.

Yeah missile defese is a nice IDEA, but there's no solid proof that it will work.. Remember the 贄 million one a few months ago that failed?

A missile defence will only create an arms race. China will make more nukes and our system will be worthless. The money would do a lot better in other areas.. Fusion for example heh
