I just read a story about a cheap and simple device that can fry the electronics of most of the military’s high-tech weapons systems. At some point, when the US engages in another bout of cruise missile diplomacy, the people who are the targets of this diplomacy will just use this device to fry the missile guidance systems and laugh at us on global television.
I think President Shrub’s plan to revive Reagan’s dubious Star Wars missile defense ought to be reconsidered in this light.
