Those hoping for some humor in this presidential race might make a wish that Star Wars will become the overriding issue.Not Star Wars the movie, but Star Wars the white elephant, the $60 billion dollar shield over America that would make incoming missiles bounce like hail off a tin roof.

You ask, how does it work? Do I look like a rocket scientist? Go ask somebody who is a rocket scientist, but I warn you, he won't know either.

We are told that the purpose of Star Wars 2000 would be defense against missiles from North Korea. We could always strike back at North Korea by denying them membership in the World Trade Organization.
