Yes, the anti-ballistic missile system was a complete waste of money. But, that was ONE thing, not our entire system. Oh well.
I was in undergrad and grad school during the 1980's. Being in the D.C. Area, we had many speakers discussing SDI and what the benefits were of it. S.D.I. was an important part of 1980's soviet - U.S. relations. It can even be said that it played an important role in the ultimate end of the Cold War. The Soviet Union was presented with a system and it's technology that they would not be able to meet financially or technologically.
