Once more I am compelled to refute a misguided opinion advanced by one of
the regular contributors to PIEN. The statement in question was, "Those
who relied on the fantasy of a ' missile shield ' to protect us have had a
stunning wake-up call today." To the complete contrary....the people who
SHOULD observe today's events as a wake-up call are those so naive to
believe that we SHOULD NOT invest in a missile defense. Do they believe
that any government or group who would organize and carry out an attack
like today's would hesitate in using an atomic warhead on New York or
Washington if it were available? We have a limited period of time to act
before that availability becomes a reality. If this country does not go
forward with at least a limited SDI, then perhaps it will not be very long
before New York, Washington, or some other American population center joins
the cities that were mentioned..... Berlin, Dresden, London, Hiroshima, and
Nagasaki.
While I respect the nice lady's right to her opinion, I also feel I have a
right to refute it with a modicum of common sense.
