Monkey logic

As if we didn't learn this from last century, but here we go again... What happens when you try to build bigger and better weapons? Other countries will beef up their defenses in case they need to defend themself. (Apply this to Iran's nuclear ambitions and Israel's nuclear program, and you have a quick and dirty solution to why Iran wants the bomb.) History continues to repeat itself as Russia claims to have developed a missile technology that can get around any missile defense system. As far as I know, the US is the only country which wants a missile defense system, and this article indicates, it's probably our fault Russia developed this:

During the Cold War Russia and the US had agreed not to develop large scale missile defences but President Bush pulled out of the treaty in 2002.

The US president said the America had to take such a step in order to ward off threats from terrorists.

Mmmm, all those dirty bombs on ICBMs. Yup. Right.

Fans of Russia's military must feel giddy about the new technology, especially since their old missiles are starting to suck:

On Wednesday a ballistic missile failed to fire from a submarine during a military exercise attended by President Vladimir Putin.

The missile was blown by its automatic safety system after veering off its flight path.

Note to self and country: Don't piss off Russia anytime soon.
