If Martin and the Liberals (or, God forbid, the Conservatives) sign up for missile defense, it's just a big waste of money... a Maginot Line in Space. In case you don't know, the Maginot Line was France's solid, entrenched line of defense against Germany before World War II. It, um, didn't work, because it was too rigid and the guns only faced one way. So they were ruled by the Nazis for four years.
Also check out Geoff Berner's great Maginot Line song in MP3, or the video on CBC's Zed. Sing this while you listen to the Star Wars debate.

I say that Bush is a warmonger, and his policies will bring missiles over our air space.
Why do you think he wants Canada to go along with NMD ??
Remember the BOMARC !!
We should say NO Way !!

The good thing is, as long as we hold up a little while longer, the elites won\'t have another empire to latch on to. Who are they going to suck up to next? China?!
He also said the Soviet Union developed suitcase nukes for easy delivery. No missile defence can stop a terrorist with a nuke in a suitcase.
But hold on... it gets even better... Lebid admits Russia cannot account for all the suitcase nukes they made!
There is only one way to defeat a nuclear weapon - dont build any to begin with!

BTW, did anyone hear about a scramjet-powered missile that Russia tested in 2000? I don\'t think they are bluffing this time, oh no. This is scary shit guys.
They are also working on a new reusable spaceship! I hope we won\'t elect Bush AGAIN, otherwise we will let the Russians get ahead of us as we did during the Soviet times. I hate Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Above link is the replacement of the SR-71 Blackbird. Tested at speeds of Mach 7 and Mach 10 and rumored to hit speeds up to Mach 15. Missile defence will be based on lasers and not missiles as the cost of such a platform will be beyond even the US to maintain and they know it. They will use this as a reason to put more money into the pentagon. America answers to no one, not even sanity.
