Title: I give it 1 star for its study in crackpot extremism
Product review: Phylis Schlafly, associated with the extremist xenophobic John Birch Society, puts together a paranoid philonuclear diatribe here, that completely ignored the situation in the 1960s.The idea that a ballistic missile defense is somehow useful is still sold as snake-oil by right-wing crackpots and defense contractors, but, back then, as now, it simply doesn't fly.The recent "remarkable advances" in "missle defense" were only made by incorporating GPS transmitters into "targets!" Engineers- speaking honestly, without a financial stake in the outcome- have known this and spoken about this for decades. It's a big welfare program, plain and simple.The idea of a "winnable" nuclear war is hideously immoral, and the Dr. Strangeloves and their consorts, such as Schlafly should be consigned to the ash-heap of history PRONTO.
