A working version of the defense system does not yet exist and a number of tests have resulted in failure, Don't we have a working system in Alaska and aboard ships?

What is wrong with these crazy people? Do these people have a death wish? Are they curious as to what life would be like under Islamofascist rule or something? Are they wanting a taste of "multiculturalism",Islamofascist-style? Do they wonder what it would be like to see people decapitated right before their very eyes? Sick,sick,sick.

Every time I read crap like this, I keep thinking, "A working cure does not exist and several attempts at a cure have failed." Therefore, don't treat the disease at all and end all research.

Having just returned from an extended European junket, this does not surprise me. They may find a better reception in Hungary, but in general I would be shocked if Europeans were any more receptive to missile protection than the Canadians were. They still are suspicious of America as having imperialist ambitions and feel that terror can be contained with domestic security and internationalist policing.
It would be hard to overstate how differently they view history, terror and WMD than we do.

The problem lies in the fact that Washington is insisting that any base be considered a sovereign US installation on foreign soil.

You're right, I probably do get rather worked up about this.I'm just shocked at the apathy and almost suicidal attitude most of the world seems to have towards this threat.The Muslims are serious,they proclaim it for all to hear,they proudly make public their videos of decapitations-why won't the world take them at their word? What will it take? If 9/11 didn't wake people up,I sometimes feel that there's no hope.

What do they need the missle defense for--their enemies are already within their borders. They can't launch rockets at their own cities-can they?/sarc

A working version of the defense system does not yet exist and a number of tests have resulted in failure, A 100% foolproof version is not there yet but it's batting a lot better than .500 and the author is only focusing on the failures.
