This is a good one.

3 European countries who think our missile defense is not only wrong but won't work don't seem to see the irony of their own plans

Three countries sign agreement to develop Meteor missile

So we are allowed to protect ourselves from a thing that might hit us from deep space but not a local bully. What do you think the odds are for each type of event to occur. I would side on that there is a much great chance of a nuke launch in the next 20 year than an asteroid hitting us.

It kind of like a man trying to protect himself from lighting strike while his neighbor is trying to build the worlds largest bomb.

Hartman,

Read the link. Seems like that is just another aircraft to aircraft missle named "Meteor".

BTW, I don't think a missle defense could be all that effective with subs launching.
