In Arab eyes, the West was not only using the Jews as agents to colonize Palestine but to eject its native population.

Problems arising from the design of heat-resistant spacecraft systems have already contributed to the postponement from 1969 to 1971 of a U.S. mission to eject a sterilized Martian landing capsule from a flyby vehicle. They have also forced cutbacks on equipment to be carried aboard the Voyager capsule scheduled to land on Mars in 1973. And they have certainly increased the possibility that heat-weakened Voyager components may fail in flight...

A single missile can suddenly eject multiple warheads that separate widely enough so that even a well-aimed ABM will destroy only one of them. An advance high-altitude nuclear explosion can temporarily blind a city's radar defenses or attackers can simply saturate a city with more ICBMs than there are defending missiles...
