    America's ROI, for that matter the Worlds ROI when it comes to NASA is enormous!! Moreover - how do you put ROI price on man going to the moon? Well we do... and I bet were you to go back in time - American's would have been glad to pay ten times as much! That's called consumer surplus! Woot!!

    But seriously, trickle-down does exist on R&D done by NASA. Every morning I wake up feeling better than ever because of the foams they developed ! Seriously! .

    Ok - that's just wrong! By that standard I guess you don't care what's going on in Israel, or what happened in Spain or... wrong. Just saying.

    Also, we weren't attacked by Iraq. Iraq had nothing at all to do with it.

    The war was catalyzed by 911. Whether we were attacked by them or not is irrelevant. It was believed at the time by both the US and Britain that Iraq posed a severe threat.

    By that logic, the U.S. should have attacked and invaded Columbia after the Battle of Oahu. Sheesh!

    To reinforce that point. One of the reasons popularized by the media was that the Iraq was friendly to terrorists. So the Philippines have a very high Taliban presence. Should we attack them?
