Education of a President

From Fred Kaplan at Slate,

Obama entered the White House a skeptic on missile defense, but after his first few months in office, for better or worse, he came around.

For better, I guess, that it's not the supreme waste of Reagan's implausible strategic missile defense. For worse, in that missile defense is unproven and certainly complicates US-Russian relations.

More skepticism was warranted.

More skepticism is always warranted.
