Missile Decision Deferred

Re “Clinton Shelves Missile Defense,” Sept. 2: Instead of spending $60 billion on a flawed missile defense system to protect the U.S. from the apocalyptic whims of the so-called “rogue” states, why not spend the money to ease the mass starvation in North Korea and cancel the inhumane economic sanctions on Iraq, thus eliminating any belligerent motives these troubled nations would have? At the same time we would avoid violating any arms treaties and triggering another Cold War. Wouldn’t that be better for everyone?
