How can you complain about Missile Defense system? I look at it more like a Bullet Proof Vest.

The argument is you can make a first strike and then defend against a retaliatory response. Guess it sort of makes sense in an insane sort of way, because Reagan offered to create the defense and share it with the rest of the world.

Reagan had to offer the Soviets Star Wars. Otherwise they would have launched a first strike to prevent their ICBMs from becoming irrelevant.
