[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Omega, [i]We've been pouring money into inner cities since the sixties, with no results. Should we give that up, too? Perhaps we should just fix it.[/i] The two situations are hardly alike. MAD works. Star Wars is costing a bundle to try to get to work. We've already got a great system that works, why try to replace it? It's not ... logical? Yes, exactly, MAD works, let's leave it at that. The problem is, Bush wants to reduce our nuclear arsenal and give us a missile system that is failing every test put to it. I'd rather keep the way we've currently got. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. [i]You base this on nothing[/i] I base this on the fact that it does not now and in the past has not worked. [i]MAD still works as a deterent.[/i] **DEEP SIGH** Did you read what I posted? Bush wants to use Star Wars as a national defense, while unilaterally reducing the number of missiles we have, so, no, we won't have the ability to assure anyone else's destruction. But, I completely agree with you otherwise. MAD works. Why replace it? Don't fix what ain't broke. Etc. [i]Your physics professors are commenting on world politics?[/i] Honestly, they're not [i]my[/i] physics professors. What would I do with a physics professor? Besides trying to nuke Texas off the face of the Earth, I mean. Well, maybe if she looked like Christmas Jones ... Seriously, only 21 out of 50 of them were Nobel winners of the award in physics. Unless you're suggesting you're smarter and more knowledgeable than fifty Nobel laureates? Actually, the idea that Russia and China would need to build more missiles to overwhelm Star Wars to maintain the balance of power seems quite logical (I mean, otherwise, what would keep us from nuking 'em off the face of the planet at no risk to ourselves?) Honestly, how many times do I have to say this? Please read what I'm posting. Thank you. In summary: MAD works. Star Wars doesn't. Let's keep MAD. Thank you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
