OTTAWA — Hans Blix, the UN's former chief weapons inspector, and a blue-ribbon international commission say the United States should halt deployment of its missile defence system and concentrate instead arms control measures.

In a report to be presented to the UN Thursday, Mr. Blix and the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission warn that missile defence systems like the one being built by the United States threaten global peace and security.

Deployment of such systems risk “creating or aggravating arms races,” says the commission's final report.

Mr. Blix, the chairman of the commission, was the chief weapons inspector for Iraq before the U.S.-led invasion. His recommendation to allow inspectors more time to try to find weapons of mass destruction was ignored by President George W. Bush's administration, which now admits there were no such weapons.

that arms races are good for the stockholders.

And I wish I could say that sarcastically.

who have fifth rate militaries? And do it in a big way?

No, thanks. We can spend our tax $ better.

If bush had just listened him in the first place......

W knew what he was doing.

Could save America from destruction is if it had the power to impeach Bush and send him and his band of thugs to prison.

There is no system. What they have built is a totally unreliable untested pile of shit.

Blix was right about WMDs too.
