    If that made you laugh this will have you falling off your seat in a fit of hysterical giggles. WMD are ok if only America possess them, didn’t you know that?

    U.S. weapons in space
    GENEVA - The United States on Tuesday reasserted its right to develop weapons for use in outer space to protect its military and commercial satellites and ruled out any global negotiations on a new treaty to limit them.
    A 1967 U.N. treaty bans weapons of mass destruction from space, but some experts believe the United States would not shy away from withdrawing from the pact.
    In 2002, it pulled out of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty to begin deploying a missile defense shield.
    Mohanco vowed all U.S. activities in the exploration and use of outer space would comply with international law.
    But a new pact to ban anti-satellite weapons or other space-related weapon systems would be impossible, given the problems of defining what it covered, because any space object had an inherent "dual-use potential", meaning it could be used for civilian or military purposes, he said.
