Every country still has access to do what they want in space. Any country that threatens US spacecraft or US territory will have to accept that the US will defend itself.
National Space Policy that rejects future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space and asserts a right to deny access to space to anyone "hostile to U.S. interests."

I'm sure China, Russia, Japan, and anyone else would agree that if their satellites were messed with that they would do what they had to on the ground or in space to protect their people and property.

The policy also goes on talking about promoting PEACEFUL missions with other countries.
*President Bush has signed an order asserting the United States' right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes.
*Bush also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space.

But no one can question the US and it is free to pursue its interests.

It´s regarding weaponization of outer space and NWO.You can for example read about it here...

I find it scary to see that more & more of the stages described in his revelations are getting fulfilled.God save us from Neocon mad man & their hidden masters who´s bidding they do!

Isn't that like any other country saying " we oppose restrictions, or limitations on our access to space, because then it wouldn't be fair."

I could not let this one go. How do you propose this to be accomplished?
Would Russia disarm - No!
Would China disarm - No!
Would France disarm - No!
Would Pakistan disarm - No!
Would Iran disarm - No!
Would India disarm - No!
and so forth and so on - No!
Would we be attacked and occupied if we disarmed - Yes!!!!!!
Are we stupid enough to disarm - No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could anyone dumb enough to propose this be elected to office - No again.
Another issue at hand here is if a hostile country like the NK were to get a weapon into orbit, who would protect the countries who are not equipped to deal with it. The US and our allies of course. No one else would be capable even if they wanted too which they don't.
This is a very adult world we live in. Granted its a horrible way to operate but until there are no despots in control of powerful weapons it is necessary for the survival of civilization. The best way to avoid this is to not allow unstable countries to launch the weapons into orbit in the first place. Maybe a hundred years from now this fictional Utopia will become a reality, but i doubt it very much. This world is full of bad people who are more than willing to die and take us all with them. Do you think the Terrorists are joking when they publicly state their intention to wipe Western Civilization off the face of the Earth? Think again.
