“If a warhead is headed for your city.
Can I assume you would rather NOT have this tool?
Are you actually arguing that?”

Yep. Even if I thought it might work...but I do not.

It is irrational for Iran to nuke London with a missile. If they wanted to disrupt our country they would sneak it in anonymously on a cargo ship. Therefore, we should divert all the Star Wars money, and even more, to financing inch by inch incoming ship searches 10 mi. off our coast.

That is a more rational use of our money.

Star Wars is a boondoggle. It was in the 1980’s, it is again now.

Good luck with that.

I want this abliity provided to our military.

There are a myriad of situations that could produce an incoming warhead. Regardless of other methods, smuggling or what have you.

You dont lock your doors and leave your windows open as you propose.

Ask Gorbachev, I'm sure he would agree with you.
