Yep, the knot-head in the W.H brought this on himself, when he said that we owned space and would do as we damned well pleased with it. There would be no treaties about that.
What are he and his corporate buddies gonna do if the Chinese decide to hit communication satellites. So much for global communication, corporate or otherwise.
p m carpenter's commentary: And Now for Something Not Completely Different:
At least this morning's above-the-fold story didn't contain the word, 'Iraq.' My geopolitical awareness was beginning to suffer the narrowness that every international crisis brings, and the Iraq crisis, nearly four years grinding, was taking a predictable toll: The only real estate that mattered any longer, it seemed, was a parcel of desert populated by warring Sunnis and Shiites sandwiched between other warring Sunnis and Shiites in training.
So God bless the Chinese, who literally went ballistic and zapped a weather satellite in orbit last week. Their high-wire act of technological demolition caused 'concern' of crisis proportion among U.S. officials, reminding me that once we dispense with laying waste to the cradle of civilization, we do have at least one other enemy -- this time a worthy one -- waiting geopolitically elsewhere in the wings.
