oh yeah....

oooOOOooo.........i didn't know you were single...........if you weren't and had a yacht i'd still do you

Can a missle stabilize a country sitting on at least 25% of the worlds oil? No it cant. A missle can't stop a terrorist from walking into a building and blowing himself up. Iraq needs a strong and steady government because with out, there oil's practically free to attack, but this is most likely not going to happen, since even if our Military does leave Iraq i'm sure we'd still have security forces guarding the oil fields, any any facilitys pertaining to Oil in Iraq, and possibly beyond.

Missle defense systems are used to counter enemy missle attacks as well as halt enemy invasions.
Same as what Russia did. Nuclear missles weren't the only missles in Cuba, they had short range, yet extremely powerful missles to counter any attempted landings by our Military to land on Cuba during the Missle Crisis.

Any American who doesn't support a missle program, republican or not, obviously isn't an American.
The world we live in today requires us (The USA) to have a powerful and intimidating missle program, so I can't see why Democrats wouldnt support it.

In the perfect world a missle program wouldn't be neccasary, but we dont live in this world.
-------------------

Now other countries wanting to build them (N. Korea & Iran...possibly more) present a huge issue. There governments not neccasarily stable and both are homicidal maniacs. I mean c'mon, one denys the massacre of Jews by Hitler and the other starves his people to fund these programs...go fucking figure.

When Iran's president stated "Why can the US have Nukes, but we can not, what makes the US so special?" it was obvious he was being arrogant. The USA has a strong and steady government, were a country capable of handling Nukes and keeping them safe from prying hands.

Countries such as Iran and N. Korea are certainly not ready nor capable of such a heavy burden.

Sorry for triple post, but one last thing to say....

Its extremely difficult shooting down a missle, especially one nuclear tipped.
There are 3 stages to a nuclear missle.

1- Launch of the missle
2. Missle enters atmosphere
3. Missle decends and Nuclear cansister leaves missle, plunging towards its target.

In case you didnt know, the entire missle does not strike the target, only the tip (nuke) strikes it target.

Now the new missle defense system is aiming at finding ways to destroy a missle at all 3 stages. The last stage is the most difficult because strikeing a nuclear cansister going 10k+ MPH isnt easy, even with the best of technology its difficult.

Its like getting a hole in one while hitting a golf ball from los angeles to new york, while the cups moving.

Understand, good.
