We re not allowed to test sensors off of satellites. So it makes it very hard for us to be able to deploy the most effective systems. And many think the most effective systems are those that intercept a rocket on launch, as opposed to trying to intercept a rocket on reentry. America must build effective missile defenses, based on the best available options, at the earliest possible date. America s development of missile defenses is a search for security, not a search for advantage.
International organizations can serve the cause of peace.
I will never place U.S. troops under UN command but the UN can help in weapons inspections, peacekeeping, and humanitarian efforts. If I am President, America will pay its dues but only if the UN's bureaucracy is reformed and our disproportionate share of its costs reduced. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty does not stop proliferation, especially to renegade regimes. It is not verifiable. It is not enforeable.
