Take that, President Bush!

Today Russia announced their own missile defense shield plan, for Russia and Europe. This is in response to, of course President Bush and his Republican cronies reviving the idea of a United States missile shield. I really don’t like the idea of a missile defense system, as I have said in the past. For one, it will never work correctly, its too expensive, and it will only cause an arms race. Pretty soon, everyone will have a missile defense system, so we will need to make better missiles that can get through, then they will work on a better defense, causing us to make better missiles, so on and so forth. Anyway, I have to go to math now, it is so boring I’d rather bang my head against a wall for 80 minutes.
