September 10,1986 a man gave a speech at The National Press Club. It was elegant and persuasive. I know. I heard the speach back then and twice more this morning. (the benefit of internet) If the speech and the man succeeded at the goals, Israel would not have the iron dome today. Conceivably, it would no longer exist. On the other hand, seeing the hopelessness of surviving the onslaught missiles fired at them, Israel might have launched their nuclear weapons to protect themselves.

The man who made the speech was none other than Old Joe; you know, the current occupier of the Oval Office; you know the character who doesn’t want Israel to use the most effective targets for defending themselves (oil and nuclear targets ). Old Joe should thank Reagan for SDI and all those that developed it. If it did not exist today, his presidency would be far more difficult. I suspect things will be better for the whole world if Iran never has nuclear weapons. If they lost their method of making money, oil, things would certainly be better in the Middles East. Most important, it would likely save millions of lives.

In the speech he proposed that it was preposterous that it would work. He and his dems decided to fight it at every turn. Fortunately, it continued to be developed. Fortunately, it works. With the proper research, it will only work better.

The unarguable fact is that Old Joe was wrong back then. He is also wrong today. Hopefully, it won’t be too late.
