[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ace: [QB] [i]The liberals... [/i] Is that who the shield is against or is that meant about me?! :confused: [i]Irrational hatreds on their parts, for one. Iran, for example. [/i] Can [i]they[/i] hit us? I though only China and Russia have the capability to threaten us. [i]Words aren't always enough, Ace. That's why we have an army in the first place. Let me guess: you were for unilateral disarmament, too?[/i] Of course we need a military. I have no objection to having a first rate military at our hands in case we need to defend ourselves. I admire and respect the men and women who go into the military. As for unilateral disarmament, if you mean just US disarmament, then no, I do not support that. If you mean stuff like the entire world, you need to be more specific on what kind of disarmament (the entire military or just nuclear and biological weapons of mass destruction, etc.). [i]Are you so naive that you don't think so?[/i] I'd like to think that I'm not naive. :) Well anyway, who is it that has this agenda to destroy us [b]and also have the capability to do it[/b]? Did this country that is an actual threat declare their intention to destroy us, or at least say that the United States is their enemy? Didn't Bush tell Putin that Russia is not the enemy of the United States on his trip to Europe a few weeks back? In addition, didn't he even suggest to Putin that Russia could [i]help[/i] with this shield as a joint project? China trades with us, and they have the 2008 Olympics. I doubt they'll do anything to threaten the US (and the major business they get from the US) when they are trying to show off to the world these next years. [i]You seem to think that talking is the solution to everything.[/i] Of course talking isn't always going to work, but it seems Bush and the rest of the supporters of this shield don't seem to even consider diplomacy an option. By building a missile shield, we are effectively saying to the world that we now have a bullet-proof vest to their weapons. As stated meany times before by Jeff K, this shield will probably lead to a new arms race and cold war. Speaking of this shield, once we have it, won't we be able to use its capabilities (satilites, etc.) to actually send missiles to targets other than incoming missiles such as buildings and ships on any part of the world, thus becoming a threat to any nation. I'd assume it would be easier to hit a building than a missile as you could know exactly where it is. Is that the real reason behind this shield? Actually, if we ask who benifits the most out of this shield, it's the defense contractors, right? Is that another influence to this plan? [i]Many world leaders don't share your wonderful idea of "Oh, why can't we all just get along?" What do you suggest we do about them?[/i] I understand that, and for any threats to us that we cannot reason with, we will need a military for defense. My question, which wasn't really answered, is simply [b]who[/b] are these rogue, enemy nations? [/QB][/QUOTE]
