"Missiles that may or may not exist." Come on, read the news. Iran has missiles, DPRK has missiles. Both are working on longer-range missiles. Both are working on nukes. More importantly, both hate the U.S. and Western civilization on ideological (and theological) grounds.
It is much more reasonable to fear a missile from a completely nuts regime like Iran or DPRK over a thuggish but rational regime like Russia. Russia's move is clearly defensive in nature- driven in part by paranoia, in part by domestic political concerns, and in part by Putin's desire to restore Russia's prestige in international affairs. Remember, this missile was several years in development, so it's not like they just decided yesterday to build this thing. For all we know, they started this program during the Clinton administration, maybe even Bush Sr. On 5/30/07, G Money wrote: > > Wow....I guess that's one way to look at it.
