Greenpeace: Stop Star Wars!

Star Wars would expose all nations around the planet to new dangers . It would destabilize the current strategic’ balance of terror‘ between the US and other nuclear states and undermine key arms control agreements such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, described as a cornerstone of global stability.

The US government justifies the expense and risks of Star Wars as a defence from missile attack by so-called ’states of concern', usually interpreted to be Iraq, Iran and North Korea. US defence officials argue these countries could, in five to ten years, develop missile technologies to attack the US with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.
