That is openly suggesting that the best course of action here is a new arms race. Is that really what you want? Because one alternative, that most certainly will be employed, to building your own missile shield is to develop new weapons capable of circumventing the other guy's shields. I don't like the missile shield idea, mostly because I think it's a waste of money on technology that hasn't really proven itself reliable. Plus, to be honest, I really don't fear a missile from a "rogue" nation....i really don't. -- Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
