[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [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.[/i] And you seem to think that having the shield eliminates dimplomacy as an option. [i]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.[/i] Non sequitor. Why would having an effective bullet-proof vest lead to a cold war? You don't see people killing cops with armor-piercing rounds, do you? [i]Well anyway, who is it that has this agenda to destroy us and also have the capability to do it?[/i] Anyone has the capability, as long as they have a wad of cash. They can buy the tech from China, thank you Bill Clinton. [i]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] We can do that now with ICBMs. [i]Actually, if we ask who benifits the most out of this shield, it's the defense contractors, right?[/i] They benefit monitarily. We all benefit from their work and expertise by the reduced risk of death by nuke. Sounds like a fair trade. [i]I understand that, and for any threats to us that we cannot reason with, we will need a military for defense.[/i] Thus a missile shield. Thank you. :) [i]My question, which wasn't really answered, is simply who are these rogue, enemy nations?[/i] Let's see. Countries that don't like us... China, N. Korea, Iraq, Iran, and Cuba, right off the top of my head. Give me a bit of time and I'll have more. Or you could just ask Rob. Not that I really NEED more. One's enough. [/QB][/QUOTE]
