Yea Right!!! We created all the 'rogue nations' .. Even OBL, Khomeni.. Every where we have stuck our nose where it does not belong a 'rogue nation' pops up. Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran/Iraq.. the list is endless. We always prop up some person to fight against someone we dont like and that person ends up biting us in the ass. Ever since WWII (maybe korea can slide) our military endevors have been tactical failures and have brought more harm to that region than stabilization, case in point our current endevors in Afghanistan and Iraq. It all went down hill from carters time. Thats when most of this mess started. If we didnt villify Iran for nothing the Shah would still be in power and we wouldnt have half of this mess going on (he was a huge supporter of the US, but we backstabbed him). Want to blame someone blame the US politicans of the past four decades for the global mess that has been created. God bless our troops, they are doing an awesome job considering the circumstances, but with braindead politicans running the show, it puts our men and women in a bad place to be in.

Sorry but this is a bunch of crap.. Ive seen this over and over here. How the hell do you think we built the interstate highway system. Emminent Domain! No reason why it cant and wont be done again for the states. The only thing that will stop this project is greedy lobbyists, corrupt politicans, and people who care more about lining their pockets than actually improving the infrastructure of this country. Which is just about everyone in power.

The Shahara Desert? The assuming we could force it to anyhwere we want on earth with a reasonable degree of accuracy AND the incoming projectile was coming perpendicular to the equator. If it were coming somwhere from the top or bottom, (that maynot matter..) I dont have anything in Africa but I dont believe that a greater area exists in all the world with such a low population density. 3.5 million square miles (9 million square kilometers) of desert. Ganted its inhabited by some, but it would be a lot easier to evac them then anywhere else on earth right? And who knows whith all the heat of the impact the sand would glaze over and we would ahve a massive glass quarry afterwards hehe

it could also nick something else on the way down ... ouch.
