Throwing reality to the winds, wouldn't it be nice if BOTH
super-powers got together and developed a star wars defense together,
with no secrets!!!

Both systems could be implemented together, thus eliminating the preemptive 
strike problem. We could then begin to bilaterally disarm, and the world
could live happily ever after.

If fact, let it be a UN project, with as many observers/participants as 
possible.  If we let every Tom, Dick and Harry in, nobody would get 
hyper and start nukin' the others.  At lease all the current nuke powers 
should be involved.  

Twenty years from now, people might be looking at Nukes as the totally
unfeasible idea. After all, they'd just get zapped.....
