It comes down to this: both aspects need to be dealt with. Even if Russia,
under some possibile destablization, decides to launch missles, we need
something to stop it. Knowing that a warning shot may not stop the USA, so
whomever decides to whack us, has to do so in the full knowledge that it will
be a nuclear war, and not an oops accident ha ha.

 For an Extropian, John, whatdya got against thingies like free laser
balistic missle zappers? Could also be use to make nifty photon sail
launchers, as a dereived technology. So lets say we need plutonium burn-up
and BMD research.
