Who Will Pay the Political Consequences for Opposing "Star Wars"?
In 2001, many Democrats bad mouthed Bush's attempts to get a missile defense system going, after Reagan proposed one some 20 or so years earlier.
Now it appears Iran is putting together a nuclear missile.
Will they admit the need now? Will they continue to say we don't need such a program? Or will they attempt to claim they were for it since the beginning?
I think the issue is too important to score political points. Let's allow the Democrats to lie and save face.
