U.S. Responses to Ballistic Missile Proliferation
even years after the end of the Cold War, the threat of an attack against U.S. territory has greatly diminished. But some argue that America still needs a National Missile Defense capability to address new and emerging threats. It seems that the proponents of missile defense advocate a costly, risky technological solution to a political problem over the more promising defense of comprehensive non-proliferation measures through cooperative security arrangements. Reducing threats offers far more security at less cost than does the pursuit of dubious defenses against missile attack.
