Glad the MAD has been put to bed.

Yeah, except now the Russkies have apparently developed a maneuverable
warhead for their ICBM, making our Strategic Defense Initiative stuff
obsolete. It was in the news that they just successfully tested it this
week.


The whole arguement for the SDI was that it was for "rogue" states and would
be useless against Russia.

No, it wasn't. It was specifically designed to get the USSR to go
bankrupt. And if by some chance it could be made to work, so much the
better.
