[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Liberals are FOR effective deterents to nuclear holocaust, as I would imagine everyone is. First, you're making the assumption that Star Wars would work. We tried shooting down one missile with another. The test failed -- the rocket carrying the interceptor missile failed to deploy properly, and POOF! we're out 100 million. Hey, if it could actually work, fine, that would be fine. But, Couple that with Bush's willingness for a unilateral reduction in our nuclear arsenal, and what we've got is ... a) a missile defense that doesn't work b) no threat (from us) of MAD. That's bad. Plus, when 50 Nobel Peace Prize winners (21 of those in Physics, if I hadn't mentioned that before) say Star Wars is a bad idea that can't work, I'd tend to listen to them. Star Wars = Very Bad MAD = Very Bad (but, on the other hand, has prevented a nuclear war for 50 years) We've got a choice between two evils, ladies and germs. Star Wars is supremely expensive -- I don't even know why Bill Clinton started talking about it a year or so ago -- and has not yet worked. It has not yet been able to differentiate between decoy and live targets. It does not work. Bad idea. No good. Give it up. We're stuck with MAD. [/QB][/QUOTE]
