No, not the movie, about whose crappiness I have no doubt, but the real thing. Today’s NY Times reports that the Air Force wants the green light to deploy weapons in space. We should have done this long ago, blanketing the planet like white on rice. What do we think the Chinese space program is for, delivering takeout? (Insert disclaimer and groveling apologies here.) The “peaceful uses of outer space” stuff is just another effort by the U.N. to limit American sovereignty and create an area where post-national bureaucrats can be in charge, without those pesky governments getting in the way (like they’re trying to do even now, with help from the Senate GOP, on the verkakte Law of the Sea Treaty).
