No Doubt in my mind that God will take care of us..We have been the Breadbasket for the Hungry and oppressed all over the world and God will take care of us for our kindness and generosity to others who are helpless and in need..I have been in many of the Countries that are so poverty stricken that it wrenches ones heart. The one factor that can destroy us is when we get greedy and egotistical and stop our American heritage of giving..We must never forget the foundation this Nation was built upon...Lisa

>>, I,m not so sure all that many Russians knew that "Star Wars" was impractical. 'STAR WARS' MISSILE DEFENSE TEST SET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT The Defense Department is preparing for a first test of the interceptor warhead of the planned National Missile Defense system. With the fiery liftoff of a missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base on Saturday night, the nation's missile defense program may take a large step toward becoming reality. Exact details of the planned launch are classified, but it will occur between 7 and 11 p.m. PST, it has been learned. It will be the first test flight on hardware that could begin shielding the continental United States from a missile attack by 2005. The Defense Department is examining whether a 141-pound "kill vehicle'' can locate and smash a "warhead" at a collision speed of 17,000 miles per hour. The White House will decide next summer whether to deploy an initial defensive system with 20 missiles at a site in Alaska. That decision will be based on three test shots, two of which must be successful. The LOS ANGELES TIMES is reporting in fresh editions: "In Saturday's test, an intercontinental Minuteman missile will be shot out sea from Vandenberg, north of Santa Barbara, carrying a dummy warhead. About 20 minutes after the launch, an interceptor missile will be launched from the Marshall Islands 4,300 miles from Vandenberg. If all goes as authorities hope, the interceptor will strike the dummy warhead over the Pacific." Developing... drudgereport.com
