"Iran was one of the most well-armed countries in the world - we saw to that, and he paid out the wazoo for F-14 Tomcats and the British Challenger tank (the even more expensive, customized "Shir of Iran" version), two of the most advanced weapons systems in the world at the time. I'm also pretty sure the hostages were freed as Reagan was being sworn in - whatever he said to them did the trick."Are Rules For Keeping Or Breaking In Business?
"Interesting, Mairead. I'd say Nelson Mandella was only technically considered a terrorist by a diseased society - that he was never really a terrorist. Our 'freedom fighter' is our enemy's terrorist (or criminal). I'll add that ethics are non-negotiable - if we lose sight of this, we become diseased ourself.

"The lauded outlaw killers of the Old West were no better than our current serial killers, some gangsters of the '30's (like Dillinger or Bonnie & Clyde), or some of the Vikings as portrayed in their own sagas (such as Egil Skallagrimsson, a sensitive poet/serial killer who'd kill at the drop of a hat, according to him)."Are Rules For Keeping Or Breaking In Business?
"All their "junk" was rendered next to useless when they ousted the Shah - look how fast Saddam attacked (it wasn't too hard to fight an army w/its head cut off). He never would've attacked w/o the coup - the way it played out, Iran was just a paper tiger."Are Rules For Keeping Or Breaking In Business?
"Hi Mairead. I would agree in theory were it not that Apartheid was a disease - fighting a disease is alright with me. Every revolution costs innocent lives - to call the leaders of just revolutions terrorists (unless you support the diseased government) is what's wrong. Martin Luther King & Gandhi advocated total non-violence, but that scenario isn't going to work in many situations. Duncan"Ecommerce 2.0 – Empowering Customers With A Social Shopping Experience
"Interesting example, Buzz. The reviews said it all - but then, who would think a $35 drum machine would be anything but junk? :) It also fits that "friends gave this to our son" - they likely had no idea about drum machines what-so-ever, or about why a cheapie would in fact turn out to be junk.

"Mark - How can the bad ones (outside of LA) keep their licenses to stay in business? What they're doing is against all the labor laws, not to mention these people have federal civil rights cases against the perps, not to mention battery. Even if some or all of the employees are 'illegal', that's the employer's onus. These owners/managers need to be locked up - fast! I'm Outraged, Disgusted, and Ashamed!! Duncan"Small Business: How to Get Started Using Twitter
"Hi Alan. I would resent any unsolicited tweets of the type you're suggesting. If I tweet that I'm painting my house, I don't want suggestions, queries, tips, or offers about what color paint, or about painting supplies, ladders, techniques, etc. Duncan"Subscribe

"The F-14 was designed to protect aircraft carriers. It's Phoenix missile system & associated radar could track 6 separate targets simultaneously past 400 miles - there was nothing that came close in the late '70's. The British Challenger tank was the 1st tank to use Chobham armor - invented by the Brits, and it had a 120mm gun years before the Abrams (which started life w/a 105mm). (This is all from memory - no searches or books consulted.)"
