Hopefully rogue state leaders like Kim Jong-il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Bashar Assad are following the news that the crew of the USS Lake Erie shot down a wayward satellite--on the first attempt--earlier today.
The satellite, which was within days of reentering the Earth's atmosphere with a an almost fuel tank of toxic hydrazine, has been obliterated. Nothing larger than a football is left.
Well done. America--and the world--has some heroes to thank.
