Pete,

It’s good to see you blogging again! Keep it coming!

Divine Strake is a great example of history horrifically repeating itself, within the lifetimes of many harmed by the first testings.

Thank you for the info, Pete, as well as the timetable and link to sound off to Borrin Orrin. Here’s the email I just sent:
====================
As you well know, in a week the “Divine Strake” project will come up again for public debate. I want to know how it is the US military industrial complex can propose to spend millions of dollars on creating and testing new and worthless nuclear bunker busters that will have little to zero effect on terrorists or insurgents who now use cellphones to make roadside bombs or plan attacks in rural cities. Bunker busters might have (arguably) been useful 15 years ago in the first Bush middle east debacle, but it’s impossible to deny that the nature of war has changed yet again. G.W. himself constantly reminds us that war has changed. And yet weâ€™re still dumping money our country doesn’t have into nuclear toys and boondoggles like this, so that the generals and executives can line their pockets with profit.

Why haven’t you taken a firm stand against Divine Strake? Why would you ever consider supporting it, as a supposed fiscal conservative? It leaves us all drawing conclusions about who else’s pockets are being lined…
