time out!

i don't agree that we need it.

i also don't think it showed weakness, i think it showed diplomatic prowess unseen in previous administrations. the plan was a great strain on our relationship with russia and china.

the missile defense system was designed to keep the war machine rolling in the dough.

determent? to what? diplomatic relations with russia and china? i'm sorry, but the ability to shoot a few nukes out of the sky if russia lets loose is a fart in a whirlwind. not much sense spendind billions of dollars for that. what we really need right now is for russia, china, and the rest of the free world to work with us towards better relations with iran and north korea. maybe if these countries weren't afraid that someday the good ole usa would change its non-expansionist attitudes, then just maybe they wouldn't be so diligently pursuing nuclear capability.

we don't need to protect ourselves from russia right now, we need to make peace in the east.

peace in the east. damn, i'm a poet and didn't know it.
