Why On Earth...

Do These Politicians expect us to be fooled by this kind of politicrap? "Alaska politicians renew calls for missile defense funding". Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. Mark Begich, and Rep. Don Young, who constitute the entire Alaskan Congressional delegation (if congress were truly apportioned according to population, AK would have to share a congressman with two or three other states), are foursquare on this. I think it a bit paranoid - okay - Hugely Paranoid to claim that No. Korea is somehow willing to destroy itself in a holocaust of explosive reprisal, just in order to drop a load somewhere in Alaska. What could they hit? An oil slick, perhaps. Until a few years ago, they could have killed a bunch of Salmon, but the fishermen and miners have beat 'em to it.
Really: its politicians like this that give politics a bad name. Couldn't these Bozoes at least pretend to believe that we're smart enough to know better than this?
