Did The Chinese Violate Any Treaties?

Exterminating a minority identified by religious faith is also included in the U. N. genocide convention. Surely you knew that. I didn't, but if so, it's just one more example of watering down the meaning of the word (hint: where does the "gen" part come from?). And no minority is being exterminated in Iraq. Even if all the Sunnis or Shia there were killed (unlikely), there'd be millions of others elsewhere. And even if all the Jews in Poland were killed there'd be millions elsewhere. Jews were being killed from many other places than Poland. They were being rounded up everywhere the Reich was in control. You really are an idiot and an ass. Right back atcha. |

It's no surprise that fewer and fewer people pay attention to anything you have to say. What's your evidence for that? |

I never claimed that either Kurds or Persians are Arabs. Ignorance of these facts by Americans caused the current disaster in Iraq. I'm not ignorant of those facts. |

There's no law or treaty that's against vaporising or essentially shooting down your own stuff.. We took out TWA flight 800, so what's the difference. They kill off one of their satellites, and we killed all those onboard that departing flight. I'm not sure, but I think there's a moral difference to behold that's in there somewhere. "Christopher" wrote in message Translation: The US DoD has been planning to have sole US military access to space to the exclusion of all other nations it doen't like, and when China shows its not going to be pushed around the US DoD cries foul. Rand Simberg: Utter nonsense. Translation: we're going to treat space exactly the way we treat the seas. When exactly are we going to start doing that? (being honest and nice that is) BTW; there's all sorts of do-not-sail portions of our seas that are currently fortified with our best DoD talent and resources. I don't believe space is any different, especially the space that's directly or near enough over American interest. - Chinese Shoot Down Satellite http://us.cnn.com/2007/TECH/space/01...ile/index.html All nations (including the all-knowing USofA) have the right of terminating known spy satellites that are operating over their realm of whatever can be seen or otherwise monitored from such nearby LEO space. What I hadn't previously realized is that a given missile's horizontal range is an indication as to accomplishing half that amount of range in vertical travel, which makes North Korea entirely capable of clearing out those pesky spy satellites as having been taking such unauthorised look-sees at whatever they're up to. I'm certain we'd do the same of taking out a North Korean spy satellite, especially were it in a LEO path that made it capable of monitoring our every move. I do believe that many of our spy satellites have operated near the 200 km mark, thus as little as a 400 km tactical field missile (perhaps one of 500 km for good measure) should to do the trick. However, tracking and obviously timing down to something better than a millisecond is required unless the amount of explosive payload is rather substantial if not thermal nuclear. According to a spokesman for the National Security Council, the ground-based, medium-range ballistic missile knocked an old Chinese weather satellite from its orbit about 537 miles above Earth. The missile carried a "kill vehicle" and destroyed the satellite by ramming it. This indicates that China has no apparent faults with their capably tracking and essentially playing lethal touch tag with their own kind, which obviously means they don't even require all that much explosive energy, thereby making their efforts with less inert mass is certainly fly-by-rocket efficient. Actually, a retrograde impact would be rather impressive, though extremely difficult to achieve. I'm also fairly certain that quality SAR imaging via other than US spy satellites has become doable by many of those capable of launching scientific whatever missions. Their's may not be as good as ours, but never the less, SAR imaging simply beats anything CCD optical by multi fold, easpecially informative (nearly 3D) if obtained at 45 degrees. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Flannery made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: wrote: Those were dangerous games, because the prospect of al-Qaeda getting its hands on weapons of mass destruction was *absolutely intolerable*. And he wouldn't be the person to give them to al-Qaeda, as he had a secular, not Islamic, form of government. I guess that would explain why he offered rewards to Islamic terrorists in Israel. |
