Robert777, we have spent way too much money not to have the "really super duper double secret technology" that you ridicule.  My faith is in the MIC not diplomacy.  Like my divorce lawyer said, You can't reason with crazy".  I'll put my money on likes of Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics, Rockwell, Martin Marietta (to name a few) and of course the DoD, NASA and the CIA.
