]]> Comment on Obama wrong to abandon ABM defence by wowbagger http://mattbondy.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/obama-wrong-to-abandon-abm-defence/#comment-671 wowbagger Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:58:34 +0000 http://mattbondy.wordpress.com/?p=273#comment-671 The US has an extremely large active stockpile of nuclear weapons, which is a much stronger deterrent than any missile shield. If a nuclear missile flies from Iran, they will be finished. I don't think Iran would dare take this path. On that note, what makes you think Iran would deploy a nuclear weapon via missile? It seems much more likely it would be one (non-Iranian) man with a suitcase, for which the missile shield will be no use. A missile shield is throwing money down the drain, in fact its worse than that, because the money is being spent convincing Americans that a nuclear war may be defendable. On top of that it provokes the Russians to follow a similar strategy. The US may have won the Cold War, but the Russians still have a lot of nukes, so it might be nice if America didn't try and start another arms race.

I must say, though, I'm not hopeful that your advice will be taken. Harper has never been keen on the "vision thing". He's an inveterate plodder, and I think he's hit his electoral ceiling. Only a leadership switch can change the CPC game now. Masterful piece, Matt. I must say, though, I’m not hopeful that your advice will be taken. Harper has never been keen on the “vision thing”.

Thought this might be up your alley as I know you have a substantial interest in speech writing. It gives a bit of background on Obama's 27 year old speech writer, who I'm sure is feeling the pressure right about now. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/20/barack-obama-inauguration-us-speech Hey Matt,

Great stuff, as usual.

Thought this might be up your alley as I know you have a substantial interest in speech writing. It gives a bit of background on Obama’s 27 year old speech writer, who I’m sure is feeling the pressure right about now.

Perfectly reasonable position. I, too, think the coalition bad for Canada's economy, reputation and political trajectory in general. I share your distaste for the fact that the coalition was sprung on Canadians when it had apparently, in some nuclear form, been on the NDP and BQ political radars for quite some time. Cheers, M Hey Seth,
