How Syria's Rebels Communicate In the Face of Internet Shutdown
jamaicaplain writes "In an extensive look at rebel communications, the New York Times reports that, 'In a demonstration of their growing sophistication and organization, Syrian rebels responded to a nationwide shutdown of the Internet by turning to satellite technology to coordinate within the country and to communicate with outside activists. To prepare, they have spent months smuggling communications equipment like mobile handsets and portable satellite phones into the country.'"
What do you mean by: 'the war between the states'
Aren't all wars between states?
Or is this some sort of veiled euphamism for the US Civil War, whereby a completely moronic rebellion which wouldn't have occurred if people didn't want to enslave others despite their alleged subscription to a constitution which gave 'inaliable rights to all', thankfully, was defeated by people who have 1/2 a brain, and the losers prattled on about their 'states rights' and other random garbage (all the while passing jim crow laws and creating nonsense like 'segragation'), and started referring to this war as 'the war between the states' in an apparent desire to make it seem like a minor disagreement between two completely valid viewpoints and also to make it sound like some stupid mint julip discussion on the veranda at the derby?
Make a coherent case that the civil war would have happened without slavery, and I'll agree with the 'confederate' opinions that it is about federalism vs centralism. Until then, call it 'The US Civil War' .
