Who is arguing to the contrary today, or are you rehashing arguments from the 80s? I haven't heard much debate on this of late, but the debate in the 80s was mostly over MAD versus other strategies.

Are you kidding? Ever since the end of the cold war there has been constant calls for the end of funding for SDI (including on this board). Why do you think Ty and Adder are debating this? Why does every time an SDI test fails it is posted on this board as a "see I told you so..."?
You would think this would be one area every rational human being in the United State could agree on, but it is not. Like I said, my theory is that since SDI was originally proposed by Reagan a large swath of Democrats and liberals will always be against the idea, no mater how much sense it makes, simply because of who proposed it.
