Theres been what, 1.5 million dollars in trade since 2000, those must have something to do with the starvation aid and the process to get them to end the nuclear weapons program.
This is correct. The Vietnam War ended for the United States when the US and North Vietnam agreed to a cease-fire peace treaty and the US withdrew. Then following the US Congress ending military assistance to the South, North Vietnam invaded and wrecked the South's resistance.
There was never a US military defeat in the Vietnam War, not even the popularized "defeat" during the Tet Offensive of 1968 were the US or ARVN defeated.
The 1972-73 ceasefire and peace treaty happened because the United States bombed the crap out of the North during Linebacker II.
I read something about this from when aircraft went to jets and jammers and senors became common in the late 50s and 60s, combat aviators actually started turning systems off so they'd not get overloaded.
As for people who say these folks were undertrained or could actually see things in high resolution that were in lower res, I have the following exercise for them to try.
Drive a manual transmission car down a highway at the speed limit, then get at least two cell phones going at once and texting on another while staying in a straight line so the guy in the passenger seat can fire out the window. Then try to figure out details like what state a car beside you is from.
Oh and do all this while only seeing the road through a black and white tv.
In Civ/2/3/4 if you built the ship to Alpha C, the game could end or you could keep playing (in later versions). There was no "last century" unless you went all nuclear.
Yes, the invasion and removal of the regime were over. Then an insurgency started, similar things happened in the US after the American Civil War and after the Indian Wars. That doesn't mean a military force has to put away rifles and walk around with batons and mace cans.
They arrested someone who broke their chain of command and edited evidence to fit his point of view. People who volunteer for the military give up rights during their term of service.
I'm sure that when the US military is moving hundreds of thousands of tons of materials during humanitarian disasters like Haiti, Katrina, the Indian Ocean Tsunami, or Somali you are calling them out for "the abandonment of honour, the loss of integrity, the absence of courage and the loss of mercy for anyone not even the innocent."
The senors provide 640x480 pixels of resolution and optical sensors are monochrome.
So I'm not sure what "PC display" you use, but I'm running 1280x800 and 32 bit color right now.
Try driving a car this way with both hands active while people are either shooting at you or are about to and see how well you do at picking out things 304 feet long, like what is the bumper of the car a half km away is made out of.
I didn't say that anyone was under-trained, I simply repeated the now centuries old reality, there is a fog in war because of the nature of war.
The US War of Independence was not a war of insurgency against a regular army. The Colonies organized militias and then trained up and equipped a regular fighting army.
Wars where a regular army won against an insurgency?
Dakota War of 1862 Great Sioux War of 1876–77 Philippine–American War Red River War Apache Wars Mau Mau Uprising Indian Rebellion of 1857 Second Chechen War
It's easy to tell the difference between a tripod and an assault rifle from your desk when you can freeze the image and look at it closely.
Now do that in a moving helicopter when you are dealing with a dozen other things, lights flashing around you, noises, the ever present danger of being shot out of the sky.
"The great uncertainty of all data in war is a peculiar difficulty, because all action must, to a certain extent, be planned in a mere twilight, which in addition not infrequently—like the effect of a fog or moonshine—gives to things exaggerated dimensions and unnatural appearance."
Allen B. DuMont made and sold TVs, but the network didn't manufacture them. They did pretty good, making high end TVs until 1960 and then selling to Fairchild and Emerson Radio

Alot of countries aid the PA. Egypt, Syria, Iran, heck its easier to list the Islamic countries that don't aid the PA.
Jordan. Why not Jordan? Because the PLO tried to overthrow the country in 1970.
But what counties will attack Israel? Iran and Syria are the only ones that openly back a proxy against Israel.
I've been to the PA and Israel, I'd say there is more momentum for peace in Israel than there is in the PA. The PA still educates their children in favor of pushing the Jews into the sea.
This whole event was unfortunate, but personally I'm completely behind Israel in the whole matter.
Like when the US Coast Guard boards ships in international waters?
Piracy?
No, Israel has a system in place to get aid by sea to Gaza, dock at the port of Ashdod with proper manifests and then the aid goes to Gaza over land. So does Egypt, but we can't hammer on Egypt for things like killing Sudanese refugees tying to get into Israel.
Turkey is screaming about it and they enforced blockades against Greece, invaded Cyprus and blockaded Armenia during Nagorno-Karabakh War
Nope, these asshats decided to push the blockade and when Israel raided the ships just like they warned they would, the asshats attacked trained soldiers and wow, they got shot at.
Hundreds of thousands to millions more unemployed, states and provinces with spiked welfare rolls, people scared to death that the economy would collapse, yea, there'd be no one buying cars.
As it was the industry almost failed with GM/Chrysler bailout, the uncertainty with Opel and then Toyotas problems.
Yes, they are strategic assets as the Chapter proceedings would have taken years to go through and all those suppliers without someone to sell to would have failed.
Plus had they been allowed to fail millions of union members would have revolted against the Democrats.

It won't end up in the US because the US won't import anything from the DPRK.

Advantage of the Yellow Pages over the internet
1. Sometimes you can't get a signal or connect and need a number.
2. Yellow pages don't crash.
Fox hasn't committed any felonies against the Obama Administration though.
Read the passage.
"In 1959 5,749,000 television sets were sold in the US, bringing the cumulative total of sets sold since 1950 to 63,542,128 units."
1950 to 1959.
I think you failed to read.
"In 1959 5,749,000 television sets were sold in the US, bringing the cumulative total of sets sold since 1950 to 63,542,128 units."
Thats over 10 years, not to date.

Spell it correctly.
DuMont, not Dumont.
DuMont Television Network
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuMont_Television_Network
They invented the idea of TV commercials rather than someone sponsoring a program.
Wyatt Earp and the entire Earp family were Republicans and pro-Unionists.
You know...railroads, anti-slavery, Indians on the reservations, 19th century big government.

By children, if you mean the 19 year old, that wasn't a child.
19 isn't a child anywhere on the planet.
If we are talking about killing children, well the "activists" on those ships and the people they were running a blockade for know all about that.

If the United Nations Security Council didn't approve it, its not a binding UN resolution. Too bad, so sad.

Shocking.
How does it feel to be ignorant of the larger issues, like economic uncertainty, length of bankruptcy proceedings and strategic industries?
Yea, another 1.5 to 3 million unemployed would have done nothing to the US.
Israel was enforcing a blockade, a number of countries do and have done for centuries.
Hundreds of thousands to millions more unemployed, states and provinces with spiked welfare rolls, people scared to death that the economy would collapse, yea, there'd be no one buying cars.
