In February 1998, while testifying before the European Parliament, I
indicated that the United States would violate the Anti-Ballistics Missile (ABM)
Treaty with the former Soviet Union. I asserted that the United States would take the
position that because the Soviet Union had dissolved, the agreement was no longer
valid. On this point, the Members of the Committee could not agree with us because
most believed that the United States would honor the agreement, recognizing the
Treaty as a stabilizing document for the entire world. In less than ten months from our
pronouncement, the United States announced their new initiative for a missile defense
system outside of the Treaty. United States Senator Ted Stevens made the arguments
just as predicted.
The original ABM Treaty allowed only one defense system in each country -
the United States and the Soviet Union. It had been our contention that HAARP
represented research which would lead to me eventual deployment of a new missile
defense system based in Alaska. We also made clear that me United States was
moving forward with new technologies while giving the world, and our allies, the
impression mat there was a real effort underway toward reductions in arms. The
reality, time would demonstrate, was a new race toward the new technology.
What Ever Happened to Star Wars?
Remember Star Wars, the concept which would move the theater of war to
space? In 1995, the funding for Star Wars was widely reported as a dead issue when full
funding was defeated by the United States Congress. However, Star Wars did not end
as many unpopular programs do - they just get new names.
"This year the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (once called the
Strategic Defense Initiative) got $3.7 billion. That's up from $2.8
billion in 1995, and is very near the peak level spent during the Cold
War."21
The problem was that the United States was not fully covered under its
single ABM system, leaving Alaska and Hawaii unprotected. Alaska produces about
22% of U.S. oil requirements, holds all 33 strategic minerals in commercial quantities
and represents tremendous natural resource wealth. Hawaii is a strategic point for the
entire Pacific presence of the United States military. These two areas, in the
estimation of military planners, had to be protected. The need for a system to protect
Alaska and Hawaii is acknowledged and we agree that these regions should be
protected. We believe that this could be accomplished in a more open and honest way,
particularly when it affects our allies and the American public.
What is interesting is that the billions spent on Star Wars systems, which
these became known as, were only for "research," according to the military's mission
statements. The technology is being advanced in the hope that a system might be
developed early in the next century. The external threats are now being characterized
as "rogue states and terrorist organizations" which might gain nuclear weapon
delivery technologies. While the threats are not imagined and need to be addressed, it
is not responsible to create word games which end public debate and allow systems
