I suppose the governments of Japan, Germany and France are US supported puppets too. As for the "technical win", that was acheived when Saddam was captured. The Kurds, Sunni's and Shi'ites have their problems that's for sure. That's because there is really no such thing as an Iraqi. As long as they remain content with killing each other there will be no stablility. Maybe the best thing to do is supply all sides with plenty of bullets and stand back until the smoke clears.
When the Revolution broke out about 25% favored war for independence, 50 % were indifferent and 25% were pro British. The rebels wanted it more. They won over the 50 percent because of the way the British treated them. In the end Washington won by carefully choosing fights he could win and costing the British too much money. When the French entered the war The Brits had enough. They lost because of a 3000 mile supply line.
The War of Between the States is another exception. The vast majority in the Confederacy wanted out of the US. They had the best Generals. They won a lot of battles but in the end the Yankee blockade strangled them and they lost because they ran out of bullets.
The war in Iraq is already over. The US has won. Saddam is in prison. The Iraqis are forming a representative democracy. The war against terror goes on. The US is not going to make Iraq the 51st state. Jihadist from all over the world have come to Iraq to kill infidels. That just makes it easier for us to find them. By your thinking the Confederacy is alive and well because the KKK burns a cross from time to time.
"No King but King Jesus!" was heard by many a dying Redcoat. But hey go ahead and delude yourself. You may be correct that many of the founding fathers were secular humanists but I'm confident the enlisted guys were Christians of some sort and were certain God was on their side.
The shopping channels actually pay the cable/sat companies for carriage. You can't get Dish network without them. In their early days Dishnet had an ala carte plan but were forced to discontinue it by the likes of ESPN and others
Throughout history, each and every country possessing weapons with a destructive power way bigger then their neighbors have used them offensively on their neighbors.
The US has been nuking Mexico and Canada secretly for 60 years.
It's not about security or privacy. It's about power. Corporations are formed to pursue profits. At some point, when a corporation has grown to a large enough size, money becomes power. Growing still larger a corporation will reach the point where power becomes money. Microsoft reached this long ago and has become a competitor for power. Just as governments when unchecked gravitate toward tyranny, corporations become tyrannical simply by accumulating enough power. The American republic, theoretically a government of the people, is ruled by those people it holds power over. Corporations like Microsoft compete with governments for the power to rule how you use your computer. This is just another attempt to control you. Trusted computer, EULAs, and DRM are the NEW Jack Boots.
You are correct sir. Reminds me of when they tried to ban Rock and Roll. A bunch of publicity seeking politicos shouting FUD at the top of their lungs to scared parents. In my time we played WWII with plastic Thompson machine guns and bazookas and grenades that used caps. I don't think these exist anymore.
I would say that the vast majority of people that would describe themselves as Protestant Christians are not very religious. If he said he was a Southern Baptist or a Mormon or a Lutheran then I'd say he might be religious. I describe myself as a "Cultural Christian". What does that say about me?
The SSA should issue two types of numbers. Your Social Security Account number which remains a secret known only to you and them that is permanent. and a pointer number for public consumption that can be changed on demand to be used on tax forms and by banks etc. The SSA computers could keep track of whether the public number is active and matches the name given.
When you find your keys be sure to take a picture of them and print up flyers and tack them up on telephone poles with a FOUND notice. Post them on your website too.

You can eat the Playdoh one too. It's non-toxic

Yes, and "Remember Pearl Harbor!" was heard by many a dying Japanese.

Now that's funny!
From Monster of course!
They'll listen... especially if large numbers of ordinary people show up with torches and pitch forks.

The United States Navy has 12 aircraft carriers not 50. Ten of them are nuclear powered.

There is a big evolutionary advantage to tasting good. Angus cattle come to mind. They appear to be doing well.
We should ammend copyright to last a maximum of 7 years or $1 Million net sales whichever comes first. The it gets digitized by the library.

In Korea only old monkeys use robotic arms
I would score that as a kill. In fact you should patent it as a sport for PETA types.
Perhaps we should put a rather heavy tax on copyright renewals and use the funds to keep Hubble going. Call it a Mickey Mouse Tax.
These two should have been cancelled. A while back.
