Yesterday Investors.com posted an article stating:
"On Monday, the ground-based Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, part of the U.S. missile defense shield, successfully shot down a ballistic missile launched from a ship's deck off Kauai, Hawaii. The test simulated an Iranian SCUD launched from the deck of a ship off the U.S. coast, which, if armed with a nuke, could devastate the American heartland."
Also on Monday, the Obama Administration revealed a new policy regarding space. The new policy:
"the U.S. will "consider proposals and concepts for arms control measures if they are equitable, effectively verifiable and enhance the national security of the United States and its allies.""
The article further states:
"These "proposals and concepts" could come soon in the form of the PAROS (prevention of arms race in space) treaty. Like the nuclear freeze once proposed at the height of the Cold War, these Munich clones are designed not to prevent war, but to disarm America. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, among others, would like to see us unilaterally give up our ability to render their huge investments in nuclear missiles irrelevant."
What this means is that in the interests of 'international friendliness' we will take down our missle shield--leaving us unable to defend ourselves against a rogue missile attack. How this makes the world safer in any way is totally beyond me. Would you put a sign on your front door that says, "We have no security system, we don't own a gun, and there is good stuff inside?" That is what we are doing. We are taking down defensive weapons--not offensive weapons. There are no guarantees that all countries in the world are getting rid of their offensive weapons. Have we simply decided that America is not worth defending?
