Of Missiles And Men

Please, please let us use our shiney new toys in your back yard, please!

Missing from the entire Times article, which was pretty well rounded, is the fact that the missile defense system is NOT effing working.

So we pay Poland and the Czech Republic gobs of money to position a system, on their territory, that may be of as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike but has all the potential for reigniting the arms race and initiating a new cold war. Is this administration really desperate for a legitimate enemy? One we are all familiar with and know how to despise. Is this more neocon/religeous right formenting for the end of days? Have we completely abandoned our senses so captain codpiece can don another uniform - a radiation suit and gasmask might be a good look for him - aboard the ruined flight deck of the USS Lincoln?

Who thinks this sh*t up?

Can someone, anyone - preferably an adult, please stop this stupidity?
