I had to do a stupid essay for class and chose the subject of whether or not Canada should join missile defence. Not saying that my 'extensive research' into the subject makes me an expert and makes my opinion 100% cold hard truth, but the level of inefficiency the system has right now is pretty shocking.
It's almost as if Bush wants to create a false sense of security for the USA because if a country decides to launch an ICBM at America, chances are better than good that it's going to go right through the Missile Defence System and crater itself on the mainland. There are so many (cheap, I might add) ways to fool the system in the form of countermeasures it's not even funny and if America is going to get nuked, it's going to be internally through one smuggled into the country, not an ICBM. That's not to say that a system like this might be feasible and wise in the future, but definitely not right now. There are far better ways to spend money in securing America, in my opinion.
I've said for awhile people seem to be confusing activity with results when it comes to Iraq, and I think that the same can be applied to the Defence Shield. Tons of money going in, lots of research and development, loads of 'America is safer' rhetoric but at the end of the day, America isn't any safer in my eyes and may actually be worse off because of it...

as an american, i'm strongly against using a missile defense shield.....
according to many physic professors, the plan has failed to work...
just the other day, i read that russia is planning on building a missile that would fool a defense system...
this bush is an idiot......
