Flame, you're being ridiculous.

Provocative, anyway. ;-)

Senate Democrats want to 'protect Americans' just as much as Republicans. They just believe (and I agree) that a missile shield is not the way to do it.

Because it wouldn't work, or because it would offend other nations?

A missile shield would not have stopped ANY of the terrorist attacks which have been committed against the United States.

True. But with the present rate of nuclear proliferation, we have to worry about the future. It takes just one nuclear rogue state.
