According to this article, there is a 1 in 30,000 chance that an asteroid will collide with earth in 2036.

Considering that the odds of a person dying in a terrorist attack are 1 in 88,000, I think this justifies a War on Asteroids. Or two or three.

And since the impending attack is scheduled to occur at least ten years before Social Security goes bankrupt, and fixing that was such a priority in 2005, well, you can see that we should have begun worrying about this years ago.
