Ah yes, RobDale, but doesn't one have to stetch a bit to equate spending billions on removing poverty and ignorance and somebody shooting missils at us?

I would bet that somebody in the Pentagon, or some other appropriate agency of the federal government, has thought of exactly the same possibilities for attack as have been suggested here. Perhaps they will be on the watch for those terriorist techniques as part of the overall SDI.

And Kendall, I assume you were talking about our president when you referred to the "moron." Did you note that Bush's approval rating improved 5 points over the previous poll taken by the N.Y.Times and CBS? Probably not. The increase was not touted much. The decrease in the previous poll garnered a great deal of press attention, though. I wonder why?
