Missile Defense

Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI all over again?

Thanks. Aesthetic and moral issues matter a lot and are very practical.

Human actions work best according to the following pattern:

" Get scared .... take a good look ..... get organized ..... fix it .... recount so all concerned are "reading from the same page ...... go on to other things."

Perhaps we are making progress on the first two steps of the pattern --- maybe, within the world's real limits, thing are moving as they should.

I hope so, and think there's reason to keep working.

Pieces like Friedman's today give me some hope.
