re: #36 BryanS

I wonder if it is ever really possible to have a world without “rogue” states with irrational actors. I do not think that is likely and nuclear proliferation is not a matter of if but when. That is the reason I think missile defense is our only real way to protect ourselves from that kind of threat. But Obama just dismisses missile defense in the old 80’s derisive “star wars” way. Obama’s certainly no Kennedy, who put his trust in American ingenuity and got us to the moon.

Of course a missile defense system is necessary to our safety and the safety of our allies; this is precisely why Barry wants the system scaled back as a first step toward scrapping the whole project.
