sorry Salty, the point was that we now have a president that has decided that every thing will be done HIS way, he willl determine what our future is(hope you've caught a listen to his speeches over the last three days) and he will even charge the head of NASA with the priority of outreach to the worldwise muslims...as if one has anything to do with the other...this follows the dismantling of what NASA "should" be doing and creating more unemployed Americans

Huge Job Losses After Shuttle Program Ends, NASA HintsThe Associated Press in Miami, Florida
April 2, 2008
More than 8,000 NASA contractor jobs in the United States' manned space program could be eliminated after the space shuttle program is shut down in 2010, the U.S. space agency said Tuesday.

NASA Job Loss Bigger Than First Thought

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- The job outlook on the space coast may be even worse than first thought. Originally, NASA predicted it would lay off 3,500 workers at Kennedy Space Center when the shuttle fleet retires.

However, that prediction has gone up to at least 4,000 employees. KSC's new director raised eyebrows with his newest prediction that NASA would layoff 4,000 employees, 400 more than the number NASA gave in October of last year.

"The job impact is likely to keep growing," said Dale Ketchum, UCF Spaceport Technology and Institute.


but at least we can reassure the newly unemployed that we'll be helping the muslims around the world with their self-esteem issues...maybe there will be new jobs for translators

How do you say "Put the pointy end that way" in Farsi?

Seriously, I would welcome more dialogue with Iran, pending a few changes in their outlook on the world.

Iran Set to Stone Woman To Death — After Giving Her 99 Lashes — For Adultery
Published 1, July 6, 2010

We often run Iranian blogs to show clown-like policies such as requiring Islamic haircuts or mannequin mascetomies. However, it is important to remember the plight of women and dissidents under Iran’s medieval Sharia system. There is no more frightening example than the scheduled stoning of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, for conducting an “illicit relationship outside marriage.” Convicted in May 2006, Ashtiani has already been given 99 lashes under her Sharia sentence.

She was originally acquitted, but under the Iranian “legal system” a judge is allowed to reverse such decisions based on “judge’s knowledge.” She has been in jail for five years and will now be buried up to her neck (men are buried to the waist) and then stoned to death
