[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]let's give the shield to any country that wants to help pay for it.[/i] I believe that's the current plan. [i]As far as these "rogue states" go, there isn't a one of them that does not know that any missile attack will be met with several more megatons in return. Hence MAD as a deterrent.[/i] It is quite possible that one will not care, especially with the possibility of blackmail. [i]Determined terror groups are the subject at hand. Tuesday showed that such terror groups can deliver a payload without a missile.[/i] Terrorists are not the target of SDI. Making a thread combining the two would then seem rather pointless. [i] Last I heard, the SDI initiative was predicted to run into hundreds of billions of dollars, which is minimal relative to what, exactly?[/i] Last I heard was something like $50bil. And even hundreds is minimal compared to the projected surplus over the next ten years. [i] Ignoring the rest of the non arguments posted regarding what seems to be brought on by a current reading a version of a Logic 101 book[/i] I thought you said you were trying to be civil with this thread, Jay. If you have a point to make about my arguments, make it. [i]prove these statements[/i] OK, you prove this: [i]After the 40 billion dollar appropriation, the United States can no longer afford to pursue SDI[/i] You work in a library, you look it up. I'm on a limited schedule at this exact moment, and I have not enough online time to enlighten you about things you should have known before acting like you did. [/QB][/QUOTE]
