The Danger of Missile Defense
By Hannah Jacobs | August 8, 2001I am currently working in Washington D.C. for a lobby to reduce weapons of mass destruction. Although I agree with proponents of a national missile defense in their intent to create a more peaceful deterrence strategy, I am bothered by their alarmist approach to this issue, and their insistence upon deploying the system, even if it could create another arms race and force America to unilaterally withdraw from treaties.
