"It's not about Russia anymore." This could be the headline as President Bush says goodbye to a treaty that for nearly three decades has helped keep the nuclear peace. The Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty was a child born of the Cold War - hammered out between two superpowers attempting to hold on to the comfort of "mutually assured destruction." The treaty will disappear in what is now a one-superpower world; where the leader of that world says new worries about rogue states and terrorist threats can best be solved by the promise of national missile defense.
