I would have no problem with this statement if developing the missel defense program which has so far been a miserable failure was free, but it's costing billions of dollars and the majority of scientests and engineers whose opinions i've read seem to think that the program is unlikly to be successful anytime soon. I'm not comfortable with so much money being invested in a program with such a poor record or chance of success.
Additionally I would be more comfortable with this program if the USA were also doing more to stop the threat of nuclear missels by working with the global community to reduce the number of missels that all countries (including the USA) have.
