China made the problem so obvious that everyone, even in the Cellar, would see it. A Chinese intentional destruction of a satellite means the number of dangerous space junk tracked by the US increased to over 6000+ items. 2000+ were created by that Chinese demonstration. Numbers intentionally created to make it impossible for anyone (except extremists) to justify the mental midget's denials.

Responsible nations desperately want restrictions so that this problem does not worsen. Only one nation (under extremist god) is stifling this effort. President Cheney would rather solve everything using pre-emption. America needs space for more battlefields.

From the NY Times of 13 Feb 2008:

U.N. Weighs a Ban on Weapons in Space, but U.S. Still Objects
The Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, on Tuesday presented a Russian-Chinese draft treaty banning weapons in space to the United Nations Conference on Disarmament, an idea that was quickly rejected by the United States.

Russia and China have pushed for years for a treaty to prevent an arms race in space, a threat underlined by China last year after it shot down one of its own aging satellites.

Responding to previous American assertions that there is no arms race in space and therefore no need for a treaty,
Show me one thing from the mental midget that indicates intelligence.
Quote:
The White House responded to the proposal on Tuesday afternoon, saying it opposed any treaty that sought "to prohibit or limit access to or use of space."
Oh. George Jr will find bin Laden in space? Even Nixon was not this anti-American, anti-Australian, anti-Thai, anti-German, anti-Tanzanian, anti-Brazilian ...
