	Able to knock down ICBMs screaming down at 20,000 mph, saving us
	from nuclear holocaust, eh??
	Did you ever think what such space based lasers could do to ground
	targets such as cities? X-ray, ultrviolet (ultraviolent), and 
	infrared lasers can do just as terrible, if not worse, things to
	the human body as nuclear weapons. Not to mention particle beams.
	I don't see that these kind of space based weapons are any better
	that anything we have come up with so far..........
