They need to develop a individual person capable targeting
weapon , some kind of laser or particle beam , to take out bad guys selectively . Call it Global Opponent Deleter , or G.O.D.
something like that ;^)
Far better to selectively go directly for the Saddam's
Kim Jong Il's , Castro's and whomever , than attacking entire
countries , peoples and cultures. The downtrodden would thank us for this in the long run.

Aahhhhh! Im taking a break for 10 minutes from writing my darn thesis that has been consuming my life for the last week and will for the next two and come here and find this on freerepublic. My thesis is about space weapons during the Cold War (lots of ASAT discussion) and has some discussion about a seperate service for space.
Anyway, this is nothing new. Just about every administration has considered an ASAT capability. We've had a ground based one before under Johnson. Carter supported them. He didnt really want to, but he felt forced into it. Reagan supported space based ones vigorously but the democratic congress refused to let him test it. Yeah, so basically this article could have been written right after sputnik or any time during the Cold War.
All the libs who scream "bush the warmonger is putting weapons in space and space is sacred" well their hero Carter was second only to Reagan.

I would not doubt we have had weapons in orbit for years. We still have a few secrets left even if the BENT ONE sold everything he could talk the pentegon out of.
