I know that many people out there will have a gag reflex after reading the title of this post and by no means do I agree with W. Bush on everything, but facts are facts. Missile defense. It was something much touted by the previous president and now it is something that is a matter of life or death for America. North Korea has developed nuclear weapons and the administration has all but assured us that Iran will develop them as well. Their missile technology is improving on a daily basis and sanctions seems to have little effect on their military programs. Military strikes against North Korea are out of the question while the administration has pretty much commanded that Israel not strike at Iran. This means that now the only thing standing between a nuclear tipped intercontinental ballistic missile and a major American city is a couple of years and missile defense shields. Isn’t it interesting that a major part of Bush’s defense policy is the only thing that can protect us against these threats? People need to be more objective when considering Dubya’s legacy, else we are doomed to be mainstream media controlled zombies.
