I thank God there remain a few Americans (such as fmr Att'y Gen'l Ramsey Clarke) who face how Washington has soured what could have been a good thing.
As for 9/11, the FBI has not been able to scrape together any evidence to support the theory of the Nineteen (it appears it's not even going to try to fake it, as it has been known to do - COINTELPRO)
What evidence *is* available points to another conspiracy within Washington to start another imperial war (much as it is now known, from gov't documents, to have done in Pearl Harbour; with comparable loss of life in number and greater loss in per-capita terms http://www.independent.org/tii/news/020311Cirignan o.html ), and that Israel can prove that, and that's why the administration is bending itself in knots to do what Israel wants.
The truly sinister, wretched cancer in the US is the indoctination, ignorance, and demonisation of informed, rational thought practiced by the US state-run education system.
On Nov. 24 a Swissair flight from Berlin to Zurich crashed on its landing approach. Of the 33 persons on board, 24 were killed, including the head of the hematology department at Israel's Ichilov Hospital, as well as directors of the Tel Aviv Public Health Department and Hebrew University School of Medicine.
on Oct. 4, a commercial jetliner traveling from Israel to Novosibirsk, Siberia was shot down over the Black Sea by an "errant" Ukrainian surface-to-air missile, killing all on board. The missile was over 100 miles off-course. Despite early news stories reporting it as a charter, the flight, Air Sibir 1812, was a regularly scheduled flight.the plane is believed by many in Israel to have had as many as five passengers who were microbiologists. Both Israel and Novosibirsk are homes for cutting-edge microbiological research. Novosibirsk is known as the scientific capital of Siberia, and home to over 50 research facilities and 13 full universities for a population of only 2.5 million people.

Now, I'm not sure this is anything more sinister than Washington doesn't want a cure or cheap treatment for AIDS found... read between the lines of the 1974 NSSM200 report and match it up with the extensions of drug patents and other well-known actions contrary to Washington's hand-wringing about this epidemic.
The ugly thing about those mechanical explanations is that you end up with a balloon detecting where to go on the basis of this very small pressure/density gradient. Which `feels' funny considering how decisive and `strong' even a wee toy balloon behaves...
I always liked how helium balloons go the `wrong' way in a vehicle. toward the rear when braking, rightward when turning rightward, etc. And how General Rel holds the simplest explanation: gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration.
As someone else pointed out, Anne is not Acadian. Decided not - PEI is decidedly absentee-landlord English, different even from the English which booted out the Acadians after some 40 years' warning to clarify their allegiance. (You doubt it was different English? Why? the Acadians and the Habitants (Quebec) are quite distinct.) The expulsion moved them to southern New England (IIRC). Then they voluntarily resettled themselves in the still-French Louisiana territory (hence the Cajuns, I garontea - ie, not all Acadian is maritime Canadian). Many brought themselves back to NS and NB, took the oath of British allegiance, and that's where today's (maritime) Acadians come from.
Finally, to that ambulance-chaser kicking up jack for an apology from the British Crown... Govs Lawrence and Shirley cooked it up and carried it out on theire own. The Crown didn't know about it until it was done. They had nothing to go with it beyond placing in the Govs' hands the general authority to do it. So if you want an apology, buddy, you want it from NS and MA.:p

`For 78 days and nights in the Spring of 1999, United States Air Force and Navy pilots rained death indiscriminately upon women and children, old men and women shopping in marketplaces, passengers in trains, people in cars and buses, people in schools, patients in hospitals - anyone and everyone - everywhere in Yugoslavia.'
> Terrorists... kill children too young to know what's going on.
Wonder what the age of enlightenment is? In the Philippines it was apparently set at 10 by order of US General Smith; much lower than consensual sex, drinking, driving, and voting in most/all U90 States. Interesting.
Even that number went completely out the window in Hiroshima and Nagasaki 'cause nuclear weapons seldom check birth certificates.
The food packets and cluster bombs you dropped in Afghanistan (both bright yellow until at least Nov 22) don't discriminate, either. Nor so the starvation you began imposing on 7 million Afghanis less than a week after 9/11.
The up to 800 tons of depleted uranium residues you left in Iraq don't discriminate.
And you were so discriminating in the slaughter of retreating, out-of-combat troops (in violation of the Geneva convention) and civilians in the thousands on the Highway of Death, same war. As I recall you spent most of the day not discriminating there until nothing moved.
SO BULLSHIT YOU DO YOUR BEST TO KILL ONLY THOSE THAT'D HARM YOU.
By your def'n of terrorism, and even by its own def'n in the US Code, the US is one of the biggest bunch of terrorists going. This is why it's protesting so hard against the formation of the International Criminal Court. All the fun would stop.
mm. And if Truman hadn't, in some instances personally, contrived to prolong the war through some six months of the Japanese trying to surrender, the gadgets would never have been used and the US could never have so effectively scared the world shitless.
Oop! I *had* forgotten about TVs like those (I was wee at the time). Nevertheless, a lot of those knobs were just patches over a kind of technology gap. It's a lot easier to make a circuit that'll do fine-tuning or unify VHF and UHF under one control than it is to fill in a spreadsheet or document by reading brainwaves. The fact they weren't in the first commercial TVs says more about economics of a new product than advancements in technology. There's still a lot of more-or-less unavoidable complexity under making a computer usable than making a TV usable.
Not that the UIs can't improve! But there are a lot more `elementary' -- and interactive -- operations to computing than televiewing.
And going back to your first post, I notice you don't balk at referencing flaming adhominem (`Please read this [slashdot.org]') when it suits your purpose. I bet you'd be all over me if I labelled someone (esp. toi) a `bigoted pro-American punk,' but that's perfectly ok in Merca's defense, yup.
And I love the vague threats and/or guilt in `it's okay to be anti-American just remember the soldiers willing to die to protect that right for you' lines, as if all anti-Americans are defended by Mercan soldiers. I'm sure all of us that have been invaded by the US through history (Canada included; and don't try splitting hairs that Canada didn't exist yet, what you invaded was called Upper Canada) are grateful for it. (Nor try invoking the bodies you left in Europe, we left more.)
Finally, don't remind me those weren't your words; I know it. But you took them in without qualifications for their inflammatory, rabidly pro-US biases.
I read the post. The meat was ``Speculation about whether or not Somalia was right or wrong (in the middle of a story about Schwartzenegger) is, in my book, Offtopic.'' Well good for your book, I hope it sells well. I'll try to read what you meant to say, not what you actually wrote.
