I believe that we should blow up the moon for the following reasons:
1) We used to be the greatest super power in all of the world. Currently, many people see us as being weak. If we blow up the moon, we prove to the world our superiority.
2) Terrorist organizations will think twice before attacking us. Who is going to attack an entity that blows up the moon? That's right. No one.
3) It will be a good distraction for those on both sides of the aisle. It will be a good distraction for democrats who want to ignore the fact that our economy is in bad shape. It will also be a good distraction Republicans who are going to have live with 4 more years with a Kenyan Muslim president.
