i wonder how come you know of the chinese ASAT test and not the american ASAT test? indian media bias?

here's your source
Operation Burnt Frost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And this is from your source..

U.S. Officials point out that the U.S. had no reason to prove that it could shoot down a satellite as it did this in the 1980s, and that this launch was publicly announced. Another key difference pointed out by General Cartwright was that this intercept happened at a much lower altitude, whereas China’s ASAT weapon destroyed a target at a much higher altitude and now poses a danger to other spacecraft. Finally, U.S. officials say that the mission’s intent was to preserve human life.

Americans also say the invasions of Iraq was meant to preserve human life. Don't get too hung up on propaganda.

That comment shows your utter ignorance. Canada abstained from the Iraq war along with Europe. Not only that, Canada vehemently condemned the invasion. You're confusing Canada's mission in Afghanistan with Iraq. Stick with this forum and you'll learn something.

Now its time for us to test ASAT. These debris would be a great excuse....

What if it misses and hits somebody else's satellite. That would be a declaration of war.

A missile is not fired without doing proper simulation tests. Either the test will fail or it will hit the target both of which is common in missile technology. The possibility of hitting the wrong satellite is very less. Also don't worry the BMD which India is building has a very good hit percentage. I think if the test will be done, 90 5 chances are for success, otherwise no test will be done.
