Tom, we give money to a lot of folks. Why does Israel get so much? 7 years ago I'd say ask Bush. Now I'd say ask Obama.

Not really. Star Wars has to detect a launch across the world and doesn't use radar technology to do it. Then it needs to launch missiles into space and discriminate between real and dummy warheads as well as MIRV's. It's kinda like comparing a toy train to Maglev high-speed rail.
