But, if they don't want the defense in Canada, then the U.S should put it in its own territory. As far as it goes living in the United States, I want a missle defense program. I want my safty insured, or at least it I would be a lot safer than if there was nothing in place. WIth N. Korea and China building up arms, there is already and arms race going on. Let's not slack off now and allow a hostile country to try and disrupt the world now.

But the thing is, if China or N. Korea would (let's forgett the why here) like to nuke the USA and if they succeeded to launch a missile and get it to hit the USA, the retaliation from US would be massiv; complete destruction of N. Korea. If they would use their nukes on
anybody they would be stuffed with plutonium. Not even wacko Kim-Il-Sun would want that. So they can really use their nukes without committing suicide. Now, I think the real nuclear threat to the US are smuggled-in bombs by terrorists/rouge nations.

It might just happen that the US may trigger the arm race with its missile defense. It would be better to work for a nuclear-free planet that building new min-nukes and missile defenses instead.
