Missile Defence

[c9]

Well, Jack Layton dared to ask Bush about the weaponization of space. And Paul Martin dithered about it as usual. But really, who is anybody kidding? It's going to happen. Want proof? Weaponization of space is already under development. Just ask the contractors!

Oh I agree with you on that.. but there's a point where buying weapons or having the built in such a mass scale is beyond any pre-emptive need.

A military should have adequate weapons and that's why I support funding the military so that they aren't driving around the desert in green uniforms and the such. However, I think that building a HUGE and it is HUGE Contienant wide Missle Defense System is beyond any need...

There is not country in the world today that could launch a missle that could travel across the ocean and hit the U.S. North Korea is not a problem - and i really do not think that they are going to be a problem (but please try to prove me wrong). I jsut think that the large amount of money that is going to be spent on something such as this, a program that has been tested and has failed each test is wrong and Canada shouldn't be involved..

I'm glad you aren't promoting the above view, though if you were it would make for a great over coffee discussion the next time you are in Halifax.
