Another Reason Canada Should Stay Out of Star Wars (Strategic defense Initiative)

...is that the Democrats are back. People forget that support for missile defense in the U.S. is very much confined to the hard core Republican base. Now that Democrats run the House and Senate, and are writing the cheques that fund the U.S. Federal Government, it is likely that the program will be gutted.

So any money Canada might spend preparing for the implementation of the initiative will be wasted...at least until its the Republicans turn again.
