Frankly, I'm tired of being accused of not ponying up to do just that, and being accused relying on Uncle Sam to do it.<br /> <br /> That was kind of the point of NORAD. To provide a mutual defence of the continent. If the Russians want to waste our time 'probing' to make themselves feel important, then we should respond in kind with a few air-to-air missile locks so they don't feel like it was a total waste of time.
