It is interesting to note that in the 1950's, most Americans, if polled, would respond that America had an anti-missle program that was 100% foolproof, and would defend us in any circumstance.
Recently it was conceded that the anti-missle missles seldom achieved their goals, and would provide little defense.

WASHINGTON — As the Bush administration warns North Korea not to test a long-range missile, the U.S. missile -defense system remains a patchy and unproven shield, government studies and outside experts say.

I have alluded repeatedly, some readers may know, to our American administration's continual refusal to negotiate. The President prefers to "send messages". If this North korean missile test (provacative) turns into a major ordeal, it will be because of one man, George Walker Bush.

North Korea on Wednesday offered the United States talks on its missile launch plans, indicating it might put off a flight test that has raised tension and drawn sharp international warnings.

The number two diplomat at North Korea's United Nations mission was quoted saying the secretive state was open to talks with Washington, where there were reports that the US missile defence shield had been activated in case of a launch.

"The United States says it is concerned about our missile test launch," Han Song-Ryol told South Korea's Yonhap news agency. "Our position is, 'Okay then, let's talk about it.'"

But he underlined the North's position that it had every right to develop, deploy and test-fire missiles.
