[FPSPACE] Looking for a vision

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Jens - 

Jens, I am sorry but as it appears that you are 
unable to understand the difference between 
Afghanistan and the "tribal" regions on 
its border with Pakistan, there is little point 
in my continuing discussion with you on this. 

I along with all Americans and US troops are 
sickened by the loss of innocent lives, and 
always have been.

It would be nice if we could wish this all alway, 
but that "motley collection of Bedouins" has 
killed and is killing a lot of innocent people. 

All of these problems could be greatly reduced 
if the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be 
brought to an end, along with the anger on which
these extremists feed.

Michael Griffin's understanding of the impact 
hazard was zero, and his failure to carry out 
the instructions of the Congress to deal with it 
was a firing offense. I am hoping that those who
encouraged and/or enabled him to do this will be
leaving NASA shortly.

It is past time to drop Ares 1 and get on with 
Direct and CAPS.
