Star Wars IV: A Very Unlikely Longshot

A very interesting documentary on the history of American Missle Defense systems, and how they fail to work properly or even exist, contains this exceptional quote from Joseph Cirincione:
These are people who believe that technology will solve every problem and who tend to not trust anyone else.

Cut to Richard Perle drawing his inevitable conclusion that someone is going to weaponize space so it might as well be America. Could these twits be anymore irrationally paranoid? Even Wolfowitz concedes that:
There's no question, if we build capable defenses against ballistic missiles, that's not the way people will attack us. They'll attack us with cruise missiles. They'll attack us through terrorists. We need to look at the whole thing in a balanced way.
