Spain, Morocco To Build Undersea Rail Tunnels
DoraLives writes "The BBC reports that Spain and Morocco 'have agreed to build a 39-kilometre rail tunnel beneath the Mediterranean Sea, to link Europe and Africa.' and that 'This plan could be put into action as early as next year...' Fairly daunting technical piece of work should they attempt it, but the prospect of an all-rail trip from Edinburgh to Tangiers is intriguing to say the least."
Do they have protections against this sort of terrorism. In this post 9/11 gage, this question must sadly be asked of all major engineering projects.
Sad that Islamism wants to stop human progress.
at the bottom of the sea?
A good start.
(just kidding, but I couldn't resist).

Well, that should bring the bats out of the attic with fangs dripping. I won't be hypocritcal. It is politically correct, particularly in any Dem discussion to hope and pray and feel for our troops and scream "bring them back now". I'm fighting something bigger.
I'm a 38 year old and I can tell you that what is going on in our country isn't the usual ebb and flow of politics where one party is in power and then another; where the economy goes through ups and downs.......yawn, yawn--just wait a bit and things will turn out peachy keen. That stupid la-la land is over.
I realize that not every GI Joe was 100peeercent behind Prseeedent Booosh going into this war; but I do know that that is what an overwhelming number of them and their famlies screamed in the face of protesters who were trying to protect these kids. Well, there is more than one way to be "dead" for your country. They are not only not accompishing squat in Iraq, they are doing crap nothing for the safety, defense of the US of A over there directly. But "indirectly" they are doing a lot.
The only way to get rid of this slime bag WASP-Mafia, oil barron ridden cartel of a government, this assault on Americans and anything one could laughingly call "a democracy", relies heavily on what a shit hole Iraq turns into. They need to die so that we can be free. Soldiers usually did that directly--i.e., fight those invading and harming a country. This time they need to die in defense of a lie from a lying adminstration to show these ignorant, dumb Americans that Bush is incompetent. They need to die so that Americans get rid of this deadly scum. It is obscene, Barbie Bush, how other sons (of much nobler blood) have to die to save us from your Rosemary's Baby spawn and his ungodly cohorts.
And they hate freedom. They are jealous of all of the wonderful freedoms that Americans have and want to kill us all. That is why we must kill all of them.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS!, SUPPORT THE QUELLING OF CULT AGGRESSION AND CULT JIHAD!
Fuck the fucking lameness filter fuck it in the fucking ass. Dont use so many caps. Its liek yelling. FUCK YOU lameness filter.
Considering no one is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing them into a McDonalds or Starbucks if the local culture does disappear (and I'm highly skeptical that it will, such predictions have been almost universally false) wouldn't it be because the locals *chose* to abandon it?
Please, oh please, do not tell the local touts, tour guides and souvenir sales men where the train will stop in Tangier. I do not want to have to disappoint anyone when I refuse to pay 2 Euro for someone to hail a taxi for me.
Pardon my French, but how the FUCK did you relate my post to US military spending? Do you go out and look for places to troll? Did I mention US military spending once in my post? Did I even mention the US, or compare anything the US does to what Spain is doing? Did you fucking read the post before you responded?
Morons like you are what make TRUE activists with worth while opinions look like idiots. They have to deal with the perception that people who believe in their cause are all a bunch of mindless morons that spout off their propaganda at anything that moves, including fucking posts about a tunnel from Morocco to Spain. Do whatever causes you believe in a favor and shut the hell up so that non-idiots can articulate their ideas and solutions without having morons like you drag their name through mud. You have enough brains to be the spokesmen for shit, and that is it.
