U.S. intercepts ballistic missile in Hawaii test

And you think that a nation should Idly accept unprovoked attacks at it's people and cities? An Israeli retaliation would have been the just ,yet idiotic move.grape_of_wrath

Man, you sure did read me wrong.:P

I honestly believe Israel would have been fully justified in launching an all-out attack against Iraq.

However, I also knew that this would bring about another Mideast Conflict, with the added chance that even Russia could become provoked enough to do something, like increasing their support for Saddam.

Bush keeping them out was the best choice.

Take it from someone who was part of the USAF Space Command.

We already had that race. Look up MIRVs

Thanks.:)

We didn't consider ourselves as badass, however. We were proud of defending the U.S. and her allies, but it didn't escalate to badass.:P
