[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Evil_Lord: [QB] [QUOTE]SDI brings the threat of war.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, [i]some[/i] people here have too thick a concrete slab in front of their heads to realise this. [QUOTE]how?[/QUOTE] 1). Building the shield is a direct violation of several international treaties to which the U.S.A. [b]were[/b] a signatory. 2). Hypothetical scenario: some time in the not too-distant future, tensions will escalate to a point where one leader mentally snaps, and makes that fatal, and irrevocable, mistake. "If we can't threaten them when the shield is in place, let's nuke 'm now before they get a chance to put it up." 2). Building the shield upsets the balance of power. The principle of [b]M[/b]utual [b]A[/b]ssured [b]D[/b]estruction, which was always a deterrent to nucleair warfare, effectively goes out the window. And while it may surprise [i]some[/i] people here, there [b]are[/b] other countries which (should) have a saying in this matter - because they don't want to fight a war of atrition. 3). The U.S.A. are sending this message to the rest of the world: "Go to hell." And that is the kind of agressive posturing many nations do [b]not[/b] respond well to. [Edit] I see Tahna beat me to it...
