Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites
SniperClops writes, "China has fired high-power lasers at U.S. spy satellites flying over its territory in what experts see as a test of Chinese ability to blind the spacecraft, according to sources." The article mentions the reluctance of the U.S. administration to talk about this "asymmetric" effort by the Chinese military.
the fact that israel is just around the corner ofcourse helps too. unlike iran, israel has a history of aggression against political opponents, both inside and outside of its disputed borders.

but this is a dangerous world with people who *literally* want to send us to hell or to see our redeemer
Yeah, we call it "the Bible belt."
Remember, these people sincerely beleive that 2/3 of the world's population is going to burn in hell for all eternity.
Iraq definitely had WMDs in 1991 and used them on the Kurds. Iraq ignored all attempts at diplomacy. The USA helped kick its ass.
Iraq may have had WMDs in 2002. Iraq ignored all attempts at diplomacy. The USA helped kick its ass.
Seems like the only constant is: negotiate with the USA, or they'll kick your ass. And having WMDs, ever, is probably a bad idea.Gamingmuseum.com: Give your 3D accelerator a rest.

And you consider the US a stable regime?
Those are all lies and you know it.
The truth is that there never has been international law. There are just big countries beating up on little countries, and people complaining about that. Any law that an international body passes will not be enforced by anyone that doesn't want to enforce it. Any illegal action that becomes desireable for a nation will be done. We can alter what is desireable or not, but we can't do that as long as everyone is talking about "international law".
