Bush And The ABM Treaty

December 19, 2001 | Issue 37•46

Worried about nuclear attacks by terrorists and rogue states, President Bush pulled out of the ABM treaty in the hopes of building a missile shield. What do you think?

Black Man

Larry Edwards,
Systems Analyst
"This is a wise move on Bush's part, considering the fact that terrorists possess elaborate launching systems capable of firing nuclear missiles into space."

Young Woman

Marjorie Ready,
Student
"It's reassuring to know that, after everything that's happened in the past three months, there's still irrefutable proof that Bush is a dick."

Young Man

Will Lathon,
Auto Mechanic
"The ABM treaty was a noble but ultimately flawed idea that hindered our ability to bomb the fuck out of countries we don't like."

Asian Man

Leonard Whitecloud,
Cashier
"As a full-blooded Native American, I'd like to know why everyone's acting so goddamned surprised."

Old Man

Thomas Provenza,
Lawyer
"A missile-defense system is all the more vital now that we've pissed off Russia so bad."

Old Woman

Lauren Keith,
Dental Hygienist
"This shield will protect us from terrorists who steal radioactive industrial-waste materials and build 'dirty bombs' aimed at subways, bridges, and other public spaces, right? Phew."
