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.

It's as complicated as an iphone?

Matching one moving object with another is only rocket science

We barely have (space) rocket launch capabilities anymore.

Yeah, right . We already have an anti ICBM missile system that can't hit shit when it's a tested.

iPhone is a camera disguised as a phone.

No, you don't get to pass the buck Pete.

You're the one that is hunky dory with giving Israel $500 bucks per capita, so you tell me why you think we should.

By the way, here's a list of our top 10 International Welfare Queens.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/...ients-17534761

Gee, looks like if you have a war going on you get lots of aid from us.

But if you have a lot of starving people, not so much.

Check out Ethiopia.

580 Million. For a population of 90 million.

About $6 bucks a person. Boy that's a lot less than the $500 bucks a person we give to Israel. But then, those state of the art weapons systems are a lot more expensive than a bowl of rice. That's prolly it.

And this thread is going to get flushed down the toilet.
