...American rocketry up to it? Earlier this week, and for the third time in a month, a U.S. rocket failed to lift its satellite payload into the proper orbit.

America's actions in Kosovo to protect the Albanians, a Muslim people, from genocide and abuse of their human rights show a commitment to a just and peaceful world without any bias of race, religion or nationality.
