So then, you'll actually be saying to future nuclear powers:
One or two nukes can't nuke *us*, but they can nuke our foreign interests.

Most of our foreign interests are ponying up the cash. Besides, much of the infrastructure can be moved to the theater of potential conflict.

Missile defence; the American Right thinks that it's worth punching a $53B hole in the economy.

If you're prepared to hammer your economy building weapons, why not hammer it by trying to raise efficiency and signing up to the Kyoto treaty?

Imran's right. I think we can all agree that since some scientists have been wrong about something at some point in the past, we can safely ignore science from now on.

Who is the "Union of Concerned Scientists" anyway?

Personally, I am highly skeptical of this missle shield thingy, but alarm bells rang in my head the moment I read the name of that group. Just like alarm bells ring when a sentence starts with "The Pentagon says..."

Yes, because politicians are the ones who are putting this whole thing together. It's the Senators who are creating the plans and aiming the missiles? Because there are absolutely no scientists working on the project?

How dumb can you get?

And wasn't it Kennedy, a politician, who said we'll get to the moon by the end of the decade? How DARE a politician who knows less about science say those things.... oh wait, we did that. Never mind then
