sorry, let me clarify one point. The Balfour Declaration, which promised a homeland for Jewish people in Arab Palestine, was made in 1917, significant Jewish immigration became an issue in the 1940s and 50s.
If this is a war in which the American populous believes that it is fighting for its survival, as it did in world war 2, then the end result will not be sa anticlimactic as Reagan's bombing, but rather more akin to the marshall plan of world war 2 and the rebuilding of Japan
As to referring to the Middle East as a "troubled region," let's not forget that most of that trouble didn't start until the balfour agreement, circa 1940. This is not some ancient bloodfeud; it is barely half a century old, relatively recent in historical terms, and something we can possibly correct.
In the real world, antartica doesn't float in a cup. It's a continent; a continent covered with ice. When the ice melts, the water from it, and chunks of ice broken off, fall into the ocean, causing the level to rise. The ice isn't already in the ocean, if it was there would be no change in sea level caused by melting. The ice is on LAND. You might have noticed that antartica hasn't floated into africa or anything else recently. So next time, check your facts and dont be so smug.

YES, that's right, democracy doesn't work because states stick up for their rights and people don't like to see monopolies.
Claiming that video games cause violence is like saying that double integrals are the best way to find the area of a square. Most people are going to say, "huh?".
It's actually an allusion to South Park the movie. In the movie the crazed mothers of the south park kids start an anti-canada hate group leading to world war 3 and the rise of satan. As you can probably guess, the editor was using this allusion not to insult canada, but rather the opposite.
Or maybe i give him too much credit, and you're right.
A few months ago a friend of mine did a little expirement. She set up an e-bay account, and auctioned off a bag of trash, labeled as a "Mystery Bag of Fun." She got bids of up to 30 dollars, but she backed out before anyone paid. My point is, scamming people on e-bay is easy; until the transactions are insured there will be scams like this.
We didn't drop thousands of mines on them, you don't just drop an antipersonnel mine. The country has been in constant war for 20 years, which means that it has accumulated land mines all over the place. These land mines usually end up killing civilians, which is why removing them is such a good idea.
If we don't help Afghanistan rebuild after this then there was no point to the war. Look at Japan, we fought them, and then helped them rebuild (and in our image). Now they're a model pacifist country. Look at Germany; the same thing happened there. It is not hypocritical at all to help the Afghans now, it is absolutely vital to our future safety and theirs.

Seriously though, there is a lot of talk here about how people have lost their math skills and it isn't as big of a thing as you make it.
When a technology exists that replaces a certain skill, it is fairly natural that that skill goes out of practice. People don't need tons of practice adding and subtracting if they have a register of calculator. This isn't a terrible thing! When cars became dominant most people didn't bother to learn how to drive a horse and buggy, the skill was no longer needed.
Furthermore, we still have mathematicians, people doing research in math. The only difference is that the "common people" don't do as many calculations themselves; which I would argue they don't need to do themselves anyway.
So, apart from the nostalgiac value, there isn't much to cry about.
of whether or not heisenberg was actually trying to build a bomb, and not just a reactor as many would argue and as he has claimed.
In the period after Germany was defeated, but before japan was, Heisenberg and numerous other German scientists were taken to England and held in captivity in a cabin of sorts. It was here that they first learned that Japan had been hit with an atomic bomb. During this time, all their conversations were recorded. It was discovered through their conversations that Heisenberg either didn't know the difference between building a reactor and a bomb or was fairly certain that building a bomb was impossible. He has misquoted the needed critical mass for a bomb numerous times.
There is also the issue of the amount of funding Heisenberg asked for from the Nazi Government, which was amazingly minute considering the job of building a bomb would be so large scale.
In the end you can judge Heisenberg as either: incompetent for not being able to build the bomb, a traitor to his nation, or simply a little too apprehensive about what success would cost to put his all into the project at hand. What I will say aobut him is this: at all times he had the project under his control, and he never propagandized for the use of nuclear weapons. In Nazi Germany, there was no nuke.

American military specialists had begun to believe that the Afghan military has been avoiding contact out of fear that the bullets the americans were using would cause cancer. The americans have, since then, gotten together and dilivered many more bullets in order to prove to the Afghans that the bullets wouldn't cause any cancer. The afghans declined comment.

I admire that. If a critic thinks a movie sucks he or she ought to say that. I hate the critics who just go the moderate route to appease the movie makers and avoid confrontation with others who might not have agreed with their review. That's why i think the filthy critic is so great. He has his opinions, and he can back them up with insight and knowledge. He doesn't sugar coat his review with: "Superb moviemaking for the 20th century!" -- or other press bytes that tell you nothing except that the critic who wrote them was a whore.
Let's veer away from the dialectic approach for a second. Our motives were neither pure nor righteous nor did cruel and crass motivate.
The operation in Solalia started as a humanitarian mission, called USFORSOM I. It met with resistance though as local warlords in the southern half of the country resisted and refused to allow UN food supplies in. Therefore, the American military was used to break up the situation a little, and up to 30,000 troops were put in place. This calmed the situation and led to successful results and the humanitarian mission was largely a success. (Operation Restore Hope)
Control was then given over to UN and a new mission -- USFORSOM II was created. This was a lot more political in nature, with aims such as disarming the local militias, restructuring the political structure and generally making somalia a pleasant place for it's citizens and western companies. Warlords like Adid saw this change in policy and reacted violently to it. Adid started rousing the local populace in the Mogadishu area through radio broadcasts, causing the UN to become a bit peeved. This is when the Pakistani column, which was on a mission to destroy the radio station, was ambushed and destroyed, calling for the UN reaction and the usage of task force rangers and delta force.
Basically the trouble started when the mission switched from feeding to fighting AFTER the US troops had largely pulled out.
The movie itself isn't terrible except for the fact that they force feed you so much foreshadowing it makes you want to puke. Oh yeah, pretty bad acting too.
Sidenote: In the movie the commanders tell their troops that they asked for gunships. This isn't really true. General Howe and Montgomery, the field commanders, had gunships for a while, and used them effectively. Then they sent them away, to try to get Adid to negotiate. This effort failed, but the generals never ordered the copters back. As to their request for armor, it was denied by washington, but never followed up by the two generals. So the blame shouldn't all be directed to washington, incompetant commanders had a lot to do with it.
