[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Last I checked, Germany, Russia, and Taiwan constituted no small part of Eurasia... Jeff: [i]Well, a bullet-proof vest won't do much good if you get shot BEFORE you put it on.[/i] Thus, you put it on as soon as possible. Though this is quite a good point, it is inconsistant with your earlier positions, so what, exactly, were you trying to say here? Tahna: [i]But still, the best option is to remove the threat of a cold war and eventually World War, by NOT putting up the shield.[/i] Illogical. You assume that the ability to defend ourselves would necessarily increase the odds of a cold war beginning. Please state your chain of reasoning that leads you to this conclusion. [i]SDI brings the threat of war.[/i] Again, how? [i]You saw how Ahmed Ressam nearly snuck through with Nitro-Glycerin in his trunk. Imagine if the US customs officers didn't see anything wrong and decided to let him go on his way. And imagine if he had a Nuclear Bomb instead of Nitro Glycerin.[/i] How is this relevant to a discussion of SDI? [i]Pardon me, I'd like to live in a world where my kids don't have to worry about war, or the death that comes with it.[/i] Then move to Mars, or don't have kids, because that's the way the world is. Deal with it. Suggest you move to the United States before you have kids, though, because here they'll have a far greater chance of survival if war DOES come. We'll have a missile shield. [i]China, however, will not be so receptive due to past events. Convincing them will be a challenge.[/i] Convincing them of what, exactly? Last I checked, US military action and policy was an internal US matter. Lee: [i]Now throw ultra-Right Christians wanting to smite the unbelievers with holy fire into the equation.[/i] All six of them? [i]Because the only people the world worries about being attacked by with nuclear weapons are Americans.[/i] Oh, so the world is composed of idiots that know nothing of the state of the world? Or maybe that's you. Let's see. Iran and Iraq could nuke each other. Pakistan and India. China could nuke Taiwan. Thanks to Clinton, anyone with a bit of cash can now buy the equipment to nuke their enemies. Your statement is false. [/QB][/QUOTE]
