It seems to me that all americans have violence on their brains, and fail to see that violence feeds violence.
Menings like that are so unecessary. What do you mean? That you're happy a country can have enough firepower to destroy the whole world?
That you are happy a country can say they have the right to do anything they like, just because they can kill everyone?
It's not about just USA having no defense, it's about working towards a missile-free world.
And this treaty is a giant leap in the right direction.
Sir You show a total lack of knowledge of what the ABM treaty was and was ment to do. The treaty had nothing to do with the rest of the world, it was strictly between the USA (still exists) and the USSR (does not exist) and it was made to keep each of those two countries (supposedly) from comitting a first strike by ensureing that the MAD policy (that is Mutually Assured Destruction) stayed in effect...so by advocating a treaty that guarentees no ABM you are advocating the principle of MAD...make sure every one can be destroyed if they launch a missile. Give me a break that is idiocy..it was all that could be done in the 60's but the world has moved on beyond MAD and the USSR is no more so there is no ABM treaty any longer. An ABM system will only protect us against rogue nations and only they need worry about it...this in no way makes the world more dangerous for you or your country...than it was or has been.
