NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! If we develop a missile defense it will provoke the enemy to attack us before its ready. We must sit down with them and TALK about it.

[Paul Ross]

Too late. We already have a good missile defense concept with the Aegis design, we just need to get it deployed in sufficient numbers and...in proximity to the obvious danger zones such as North Korea SOON ENOUGH to shut down this blackmail... Then Kim Il-Sung can talk til he is blue in the face to the Chinese....who don't have a missile defense. (Unless Clinton let them steal those designs too).
