Thanks much for your comments, CW and ML. I've heard so many liberals disputing even the potential science of "star wars." It reminds me of a Reagan comment I just heard repeated by Michael Deaver to Charlie Rose:

"At one campus meeting, a student told Reagan that it was impossible for people of Reagan's generation to understand young people. [The student said] 'You grew up in a different world. Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers.' Without missing a beat Reagan replied, 'Your right. It's true that we didn't have those things when we were young. We invented them.'"

We'll invent what we need to protect Democracy. It's what we do. And those who "know too much" to believe we can do it should think about President Reagan's faith before they discount ours.
