You said - "....The US (and/or the West) are not responsible exclusively, or even mostly, for the situation in the mideast..."
Well here is one sample that refutes your bullshit grasp of history:
"Winston Churchill, as colonial secretary, was sensitive to the cost of policing the Empire; and was in consequence keen to exploit the potential of modern technology. This strategy had particular relevance to operations in Iraq. On 19 February, 1920, before the start of the Arab uprising, Churchill (then Secretary for War and Air) wrote to Sir Hugh Trenchard, the pioneer of air warfare. Would it be possible for Trenchard to take control of Iraq? This would entail *the provision of some kind of asphyxiating bombs calculated to cause disablement of some kind but not death...for use in preliminary operations against turbulent tribes.*
Churchill was in no doubt that gas could be profitably employed against the Kurds and Iraqis (as well as against other peoples in the Empire): *I do not understand this sqeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes.* Henry Wilson shared Churchills enthusiasm for gas as an instrument of colonial control but the British cabinet was reluctant to sanction the use of a weapon that had caused such misery and revulsion in the First World War. Churchill himself was keen to argue that gas, fired from ground-based guns or dropped from aircraft, would cause *only discomfort or illness, but not death* to dissident tribespeople; but his optimistic view of the effects of gas were mistaken. It was likely that the suggested gas would permanently damage eyesight and *kill children and sickly persons, more especially as the people against whom we intend to use it have no medical knowledge with which to supply antidotes.*
Churchill remained unimpressed by such considerations, arguing that the use of gas, a *scientific expedient,* should not be prevented *by the prejudices of those who do not think clearly*. In the event, gas was used against the Iraqi rebels with excellent moral effect* though gas shells were not dropped from aircraft because of practical difficulties [.....]
Today in 1993 there are still Iraqis and Kurds who remember being bombed and machine-gunned by the RAF in the 1920s. A Kurd from the Korak mountains commented, seventy years after the event: *They were bombing here in the Kaniya Khoran...Sometimes they raided three times a day.* Wing Commander Lewis, then of 30 Squadron (RAF), Iraq, recalls how quite often *one would get a signal that a certain Kurdish village would have to be bombed...*, the RAF pilots being ordered to bomb any Kurd who looked hostile. In the same vein, Squadron-Leader Kendal of 30 Squadron recalls that if the tribespeople were doing something they ought not be doing then you shot them.*
Similarly, Wing-Commander Gale, also of 30 Squadron: *If the Kurds hadn't learned by our example to behave themselves in a civilised way then we had to spank their bottoms. This was done by bombs and guns.
Wing-Commander Sir Arthur Harris (later Bomber Harris, head of wartime Bomber Command) was happy to emphasise that *The Arab and Kurd now know what real bombing means in casualties and damage. Within forty-five minutes a full-size village can be practically wiped out and a third of its inhabitants killed or injured.* It was an easy matter to bomb and machine-gun the tribespeople, because they had no means of defence or retalitation. Iraq and Kurdistan were also useful laboratories for new weapons; devices specifically developed by the Air Ministry for use against tribal villages. The ministry drew up a list of possible weapons, some of them the forerunners of napalm and air-to-ground missiles:
Phosphorus bombs, war rockets, metal crowsfeet [to maim livestock] man-killing shrapnel, liquid fire, delay-action bombs. Many of these weapons were first used in Kurdistan.
Excerpt from pages 179-181 of Simons, Geoff. *Iraq: From Sumer to Saddam*.
The problem here is that there is a theme in US presesnt mythology that they are a force of good irrespective of any reality on the ground - the reality usually being dead babies.
It is interesting to see the difference in coverage between some dead Afghans killed by a fit of pique after taliban killed some soldiers so the mighty war machine of the US cranked up the B-52s and wasted some babies. Coverage? Zip. How many dead? Quite a few.
Now we see London. more dead civilians. Lots of coverage. No context. No cause - effect. No analysis that we killed them for hundreds of years and now they have figured out how to kill a few of us at home.
Killing Killing Killing. Mindless on both side. But both sides feel their killing is blessed and redemptive. Both sides are run by loons of the highest orders.
The texture of a dead baby killed by a B-52 fragmentation bomb and the texture of a dead baby killed by a bomb in London - well they are both dead bloody and squishy, and they both have parents who long for revenge - bloody revenge.
But we in the West live our fantasy about our redemptive destruction and collateral damage. Whoops, sorry dead baby dude! We killed you to be free.
"...Invading Afghanistan was a good thing, because it got rid of a bunch of murderous primitive fuckwits...."
Hmmm. I think you are mistaken here. We paid cash to one set of fuckwits to overpweor another set of fuckwits, but the average Afghan has no love of our support of War Lords.
The reality is we have never fought a real war or actually tried to make any real changes in Aghanistan.
We just swopped one set for another and business as usual. The one good thing is that it pleases you and makes you happy, but then you never had to live or visit Afghanistan so why would this "myth" displease you.
I refered to "Military" not "soldier". Soldiers take orders. It is the policies that are flawed. We have killed too many civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq to even bother with the fig leaf of "mistake".
Sadly we have no process to try the criminal acts commited in war time as we are usually the victors and the victors define the rules and the laws.
we did indeed kill hundreds of thousands of babies in Vietnam and Cambodia, that is the harsh reality. That a few soldiers were taunted is nothing compared to the crime that was committed in the name of US citizens.
That you forget the dead babies and worry about the taunts tells me everything I need to know of the depth of your concern for dead innocent babies.
Poor Poor Soldiers.
Poor Poor Dead babies.
when I was a child we recited " sticks and stones......"
Yes that was the mistake about the Irish, you should have put us in camps.
What a naive post. I am a citizen of the EU and I doubt I agree with you on any political point. Should I go?
Humans are humans, They are, you are. That they disagree with you has nothing to do with terrorism. A bus will kill you faster than any of your "dangerous" refugees.
I think Ian Paisly is a dangerous extremist. Can I send him back to the mainland UK?
Society? Society does not condone, all societies have minorities that are fanatics. The world was horrified when earlier US Society seemed to condone hangiing black men from trees, and raping black women.
You of course in your ignorance love to HATE, so you ignore the mote in your own eye and stoke you hate on the wrongful actions of some men, all the while having no f**ing clue about how much a Muslim man loves his family and friends ( clue more that you love your fellow man - your hate seems to drive your thought processes)
No society is composed of 100% animals. There are always bad seeds.
You in your ignorance do not represent all of your society just some of it.
We need to look carrefully at what is terrorism. You are correct the IRA killed innocent civilians, as did the British soldiers for many a year in Ireland.
Of course you fail to point out that the US Military also failed to warn civilians many many times before they dropped bombs on their village and killed them.
Dead is dead and the sooner we stop defending this act of terrorism and codemning that act of terrorism the sooner we can diminish acts of terror that result in the innocent being killed.
Cause and effect, over and over.
Now days we cheer lead our military who also have no respect for innocent civlians.
Any man that kills babies is a terrorist and God will not accept his attempt to get into heaven on the "collateral damage" ticket.
Hmm, I worked for a large 3G mobile operator in the UK and there was a "secret" project ( I chatted to a PM about it so it was not so secret) for the Government to be able to selectively turn off base stations upon demand.
The government "owns" the spectrum. They can demand it be turned off, same as the US can selectivley turn off GPS.
The Western societies predominated by their superior use of organized violence. If you had any sense of history this might occur to you that terrorism is a symptom of broader issues.
No doubt you vented at the US bombers that killed the innocents in a village in Afghanistan.
You see, we kill them, they kill us. Over and Over. And simpletons like you pipe up about animals. The British were the first to use Gas in arial attacks against innocent villages - Iraq in the 30's. But you knew that of course.
When an innocent baby is dead in London or Kandahar or Bagdad, it is dead. And if it was killed by a US soldier or a muslim fanatic, their killers are both as you so eleoquently pose - fucking animals.
So the villagers and poor will continue to fight against those who drop bombs from the sky and use the language of Orwell to justify their killing.
The Point of terrorists is they do no wear uniforms and publish their home address. Tit for tat killing solves nothing, we saw some poor afghans wasted by US explosive might. As long as we condone killing poor people with bombs from the sky and sucking our teeth in satisfaction, this is as long as the survivors will either turn themselves to violence or support those who use violence.
We use violence, they use violence. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
A man bombs innocents in a tube station.....is he a fanatic? A highly educated American bombs innocents in a dirt poor village....is he a fanatic?
On and on it goes......kill them with no process of justice and then they will come and kill you with no process of justice.
You suffer from the typical mindset that believes location must be very accurate to have use. That is because you can only see applications linked to actual precise location.
However, location can give us clues that allow us to derive a context. Location can tell us you are NOT in the office. Location can tell us I am near my house or I am downtown.
That you have a limited imagination on how to use these contextual imputs does not kill the usefullness of location at this accuracy.
Most of the Identity Vendors have implemented SAML as an option, allowing now open ability to interoperate across platforms. They did interoperability testing several years ago.
I did try at one stage to convice ( via OMA activities ) Telcos to adopt SAML. It was part of a Portal Architecture delivered to a VERY large French Telco. They then ( via FTR and D ) decided to scale up and adopt Liberty. I would have been happy with SAML.
But SAML now means that each operting company in this telco can have SSO and authentication for services across national and organizational boundaries.
Before SAML was a homegrown SSO solution in Java.
Or more relevent is SAML, which is the OPEN standard for Authentication and Authorization that is at the heart of Liberty.
You can use SAML without having to implement the full liberty spec.
See OpenSAML, a open source Java based implementation.
BUT, there are some patent issues around SSO.
And this is probably the effect that one used to see with Linux....Joe Bloggs taught himself Linux at home but had to professional training as a large scale sys admin. Introduces Linux cause it Just Works....but cannot scale beacause he has no methodology for manag lots and lots of systems.
PHP could be the same. Lots of self taught PHP small scale guys grow into projects that are over their head. Of course they can if - then -else etc, but have no concept of how to write or manage large scale web apps.
Another problem is the all or nothing mentality. Either do it in Java or do it in PHP. The reality should be to be selective. Certainly for customer/web facing functionality PHP usually has enough steam, but I suspect that J2EE's container functionality seems attractive to developers, but they rarely seem to actually exercise this capability and end up with a mess of JSP.
90% of the stuff on the web is just a bunch of SELECT statements and some minimal logic. PHP is fine for this. When you get to the tasty bits that need transactions and failover and loadbalancing with session awareness, then you can jump to Java.
You are correct. I have one iPod and 3 firewire cables. One bought with Video Camera ( since stolen ), one with original iPod and the 3rd, hmmm can't remember where it came from.
I also have about 20 different scsi cables, 10 parallel cables.....50 power cables.....all unused.
If Apple were to drop firewire, then what will all those DV cameras do, will they stop iMovie?
Of course not. You post is the truth. Most of us have more than one, and face it even if yuo have multiple iPods/cameras, you rarely need more than one, and then only in the home...
I guess you believe in your tortured reality that anyone that disagrees with you is Gay or a TreeHugger.
You are of course entilted to your opinions. You want to label yourself as Libertarian but you sound facist.
You are against government yet you are for Military bases that keep you safe and in your style of life. Do I see a contradiction here?
Finally you trot up the Number One argument. I am American as well yet I can see clearly where the US is better and I can also see where we are worse. You seem to live a life dictated by purile slogans that allow you to avoid deep though.
You are number one in your own mind.
But sadly you cannot articulate your own worth to the world so we just see you as a dumb simple redneck prick babbling about classes of people you hate.
You have no idea how the world and your nation work.
Americans have a sad tendancy to trumpet their military services as if we should all then shut up and defer to those who have fought.
If that were the case Nazi camp guards would be the power today.
He will have to be ordered to fight, I went volantarily to Afghanistan to help the peoplel there ( yes and to get pay as well, I am not so altruictic to work for free).
Not all Americans are as closed monded as the poster above, there are still a few of us left who can read and think outside of the "approved:" media.
John Pilger is a fine Journalist and Writer. However, my fellow Americans learn through the filter of the restrained eduactional system and a dead and complient press ( not really journalists, they are cheer leaders)
Hunter S. Thompson today took his own life. A sad day for freedom and journalism.
The voices of sanity and restraint and education grow weaker and weaker.
Like Hitler, soon our only valid political expression will be screaming Hail Bush in a stadium.
We got to where we did by certain means. Others see that. That we sitting on the top of the heap now want others to not dislodge us from the top of the heap and condemn now what we never before condemned in the sense that we waited to reap the benefits fully before a change of policy.

No it is not flawed. This is just an excuse crafted to make YOU feel good and give you a mental figleaf.
If you KNOW that you will kill civilians, you are acting with intent.
No different to a "terrorist" whatever that phase means.
IN the first Gulf War the press machine fed you your excuses about precision when the truth was that less than 10% of the bombs were smart.
A dead baby held in the arms of the mother cares not for your statement about intent or supression of reality. It is dead.
Yes that was the mistake about the Irish, you should have put us in camps.

How often did the IRA fail to issue a warning? It was the policy of the IRA to always issue a coded warning.
This would benefit the IRA how?
"kill then at source" ......?
