I think that Bush wants to install a nuke defense system because he doesn't want China to be able to use its very limited nuclear power to control the United States or any other country (ahem... Taiwan...). Of course, China could just swim a nuke into Taiwan, but what China really wants to stop is a counter-attack from the US.<br><br>President Bush, I am sure, is not deluded enough to think that a defense system will stop Russia's tens of thousands of nuclear weapons. He just wants to keep China from using its limited long-range nuclear weapons as a political threat. I agree with Bush.<br><br>If China can use its nukes to stop a nuclear-attack from the US, then China can invade Taiwan or any other small country. I believe that this is a possibility. You have seen the rising hostility of Chinese hackers and hacker-wannabes. <br><br>If we allow the Chinese government to boss around little countries, then the United States of America will deline as a world power. This is a bad thing for the rest of the world. The Americans fought with the "good guys" in both World War One and Two. We saved many Hmong people who may have been killed by the Viet-Kong after Vietnam. We often try to save people from ethnic cleansing in places like Kosovo.
