Re: Chin up!
[quote name="Lizard_King"]I'm pretty sure that all bluster aside the intention behind the missile defense shield is to neutralize "rogue" threats with limited warhead delivery systems as opposed to a massive onslaught on the part of a majort world power. Given that, say, North Koreans tend to have an irrational approach to foreign policy, it is not unreasonable to think that their inability, real or perceived, to threaten the US with a missile would be useful. Note: I didn't say I agreed with that school of thought. But I am pretty sure that infantilizing the motivations behind political figures you disagree with is not a very useful tack. [/quote]
