>>>People who are opposed to this missile defense endeavour are people who make their living in the "Hate America" industry, or who are being bribed by people who make their living in the "Hate America" industry. They are risking all of our lives for money or empty slogans.<<<

The "Hate America" industry? The so called missile shield is nothing more than just a money pit.

It is not protecting our interests and it is pissing Russia off for no good reason.

Let Europe defend themselves if they think they need such defense.

It would totally defy logic and common sense to think that Iran would lob nuclear tipped missiles at Europe. For one thing. They don't have any. For two, it would serve them no strategic purpose and for three it would lead to the total and immediate destruction of their government and military. You don't really think that Iran's leaders are braver than the Neocons do you? The Neocons are afraid of the political fallout from using WMD. The fallout the Iranian's fear would be much more concrete.

Bruce, you seem to be confusing liberalism with common sense. I can see where that might be an easy mistake for you. But it is my conservatism that tells me that Bush's little Star Wars is a mistake. Because it is unnecessary and because it is a waste of money.

It's just the neocons using fantasies, trying to scare us into giving them more money and power. Come to the light Bruce. If you are smart enough to make missiles, you are smart enough to do some good in the world.
