MNI, Ya know, using Werner Von Braun as an example of how Europeans "helped" America is like saying Hitler helped reduce racism. Mr. Von Braun's weapons of mass destruction killed a lot of people and could have even given the NAZI Government the edge in WWII. As Albert Speer noted in his book "Inside the Third Reich", when German scientists met to discuss the possibilities of building nuclear weapons in 1942, they agreed that atomic weapons were probably possible, but they decided against trying to build them because they felt they would not be opera- tional till about 1945, at which point everyone felt the war would be over anyway. Lucky for us that this was the case because your friend Von Braun said they would probably be able to build a V-3 Rocket that would be able to hit New York City by 1945...consider what would have happened if they had been able to put these two weapon programs together! -John
