And it would be Reno-time (well I suppose Ashcroft *shudder*) if it weren't for that whole constitution thing we have here in Americaland. Freedom of the press allows the media to break all sorts of laws.
Not that i am disagreeing with you, but you must remember that in many of the situations you have listed, there was major financial and military backing from world powers. Of course in Vietnam the Soviets/Chinese supported the north and in 1979, ironically, it was the United States who helped Afghanistan in their battle against the Soviets. As it stands right now, there is not a single nation that would step in and be able to effectively help the Taliban protect Osama Bin Laden.
I agree that war is not exactly a good option, it will cost a lot of money and yes probably lives. But so will not doing anything.

With disposable cameras, you return the camera to get your photos developed and they reuse most of the components. It does not appear they are planning anything like this, not that people would have reason to do this anyways. If talking greeting cards cost several bucks apiece, I don't see how selling a significantly more sophisticated device for 10 dollars without reusing parts will lead to a profit.
I'll just stick with the cell phone for a penny at car toys
Now instead of old folks getting confused about their paper ballots and not punching the correct hole... We are going to spend a bunch of money to develop a system where they will just press the wrong button on a keyboard.
I say bring back the lever system.

That is where the "With NASA Verification" part comes in.
Not that they would ever get it.

Why doesn't Microsoft use this to compress Windows ME? It would probably run just as well.
