Defenseless

Where are "Star Wars" critics now? On Larry King Live demanding that the Bush Administration employ the same appeasenik tactics vis-a-vie North Korea that they did for six years, which were instrumental in transforming the decrepit Stalinist hellhole into a nuclear threat not just to its neighbors but to the United States as well. Meanwhile the only reason we have an even rudimentary missile defense system operational now is because Dubya reversed their MAD policy, abrogated the ABM Treaty, and moved belatedly ahead with SDI.

The Washington Examiner op-ed concludes:

It is a sobering thought to wonder how much more secure the United States and its allies would be today in the face of madness like North Korea’s launches if instead of a limited defense still in development we could depend upon the robust protection first proposed many years ago.

So far the Democrat Party "only" has the blood of three thousand American civilians on its hands. If they have their way, the death toll their criminal national security negligence will exact is unimaginable.
