World's Smallest Homebrew RC Unit

MC68040 writes "I assume you've seen the mini-helicopters and airplanes that are becoming increasingly popular as office toys out there. Well this guy decided the market wasn't filled enough, luckily =) He's built the by far simplest and most functional mini Remote Controlled unit. It weighs under 7 grams, is made of carbon fiber and it's smaller than your thumb (or a hamster, as the author seems to prefer to compare). Go check it, it's truly a amazing feat."

    "Iraq: war to save the USA [slashdot.org]"

    Actually, the war was to save Iraq, and to stop Saddam's aggression against the United States. Venezeula? The country is ruled by a rabid fascist dictator.

    The stories you claim WERE covered by the media, but since the "dollar" reasons are false, no one cared about the stories and they faded away.

    Uh, what aggression? He was a petty thug dictator that was (by the time we "liberated" them) running on a shoestring budget. He was no threat. Not ever. It's all about appeasing Israel anyways, not that the American media will ever touch that topic (conservative or liberal).

    I sincerely doubt that. I would have to buy the euros for oil story as more credible without reading a shred of evidence on either. Care to share links to stories?
