Yesterday, we fought wars which destroyed cities. Today, we are concerned with avoiding a war which will destroy the earth. We can adapt atomic energy to produce electricity and move ships, but can we control its use in anger?

I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.

The construction of too many bridges may prevent large oceangoing ships from sailing directly to inland cities along the river.

Yesterday, we sought telescopes good enough to see all the planets. Today, we seek vehicles good enough to reach them.

We need more than photo-ops and spin control to win this war. We need an effective plan to achieve our goals in Iraq and protect our troops. The president once again offered neither. He needs to realize what most Americans now understand -- that staying the course is not an option.

The 'Star Wars' universe is full of technological and cutting-edge effects, which Base FX will be a wonderful partner to create with.
