Re: Republicans against debt...but not realy...I don't think you can ever prove MAD works...its just a logical idea that a Rational leader...will not want to do something that leaves him and evryone in his nation dead...or worse...of course with say North Korea where the man is Insane...this works less...also in the hands of a religion nut who thinks they are the voice of God or something...but the USSR was basicly sane so MAD worked...aslo the Star wars System Regan talked about ...was a system to take out massive amounts of missiles from a major USSR attack..not a small strike by say North Korea ( who can't hit us yet...yet..) or Iran....who also can't hit us. A system that can do the job of these threats..I believe is possible with today's tech...but back in the 80s..even this limited idea would not have been possible. Of course as each system starts small...logic says it will grow..and others will form..and they will grow...and at some point will reach the leval I was talking about...unless there is some major arms treaty to prevent it...and depending how far ahead, much farther then this...have you read the next 100 years, by George Friedman of Stratfor...we will be at a system far beyond Regan's...by 2050..but then again the missiles will be going at speeds far beyond what we use today with small exceptions.The ability to make a better missile to defend a defense.. has always, and will always be ahead of the ability to hit them I believe. While of course any book predicting world changes in tech and political power is bound to seem far fetched, and be wrong alot...its backed up pretty well by what logic and the fact that as much as we think there are always so many options...there often is very few real options. His idea of how the 3rd world war starts...pretty far fetched..then again in 1900 if you predicted much of WWII you would have said the same.
