That is one hell of a website, and frighteningly relevant. It points out that the threat of ballistic missile attack is REAL and growing. The Strategic Defense Initiative is not just some "Star Wars" fantasy, but a system that needs to be developed (if not deployed right now, research must be conducted).
Unfriendly elements laughed at Ronald Reagan for proposing SDI, but I do believe that it was the straw that broke the back of the Soviet Union. There was no way they could continue to compete with our great nation.
Ya got all the whiners today complaining about pursuing a viable SDI. If Kim Jong Il ever gets his Taepo Dong II missile working, I don't doubt that he'd try to hurl a nuclear warhead against LA, NY, or Washington D.C. If an interceptor from SDI stopped such an attack, the same people would cry that we destroyed another nation's property.
I favor SDI; if it's not a viable system now, we at least need to continue our research.
