AC's, trolls, and off topic, here's to the Karma I'm not going to have tomorrow.
AC#1 (grand parent) you severly under estimate the US government's ability to muck in foreign affairs and get people (on both sides) killed, they'v been at it since 1970's. I think the cold "war", Iran/contra, funding the Talaban to fight Russia all fit that description.
AC#2 (parent) I certainly do hope you're being sarcastic. If you actaully swallowed the bull shit that's being spewed out of Washington that might be a problem. The only thing liberated from Iraq was Irqi money, and US tax payer money laundered through "defense contractors" (mercenaries).
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned on of the bigger perks of diesel engines, you can put just about anything oily in them and they run, they may not run well but they run. My favorite war anecdote from when my old man was in the "big war" (that'd be the Cold war), was him and his buddies using cooking oil to refill the jeeps after unauthorized off base trips around west Germany. With the advances in bio-diesel fuels why even bother with fossil fuels? The technology hasn't been perfected but it makes for renewable fuels.
Yeah, we are that dense. I'm a senior in an American high school, my English class just finished Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Not a single person in the class grasped the connection between the story and the McCarthy Hearings. Our teacher tried to stimulate discussion about the relationship between the Red Scare and the current terrorist hunts, this was met with glazed over looks. The future generation isn't going to be much better educated than the current bunch of dopes aiming the American war machine, sorry folks. The irony here is if we took the over bloated "defense" budget and spent it on education we might be smart enough not to go around stirring up wars, or at the very least smart enough not to elect warmongering idiots to office.

Patents for what? Isn't the smb protocol a MS creation?
