No, I just assume that any country that wishes for optimal self defense won't willingly let its existing weapons superiority be lost. It doesn't make sense to do so. Yes, they may be misused, but quite frankly, I don't really see it. If we wanted to blow up the whole world, we probably could with our existing arsenal (before everyone goes crazy, I'm not suggesting we should). However at some point other nations are going to develop space weapons and we should too. Most countries agree not to use biological weapons, but I bet most of the Nuclear Club members also have biological weapons either publically acknowledged or in secret. -Tim - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
