Are Rules For Keeping Or Breaking In Business?
"Good point Duncan. Mandela was a true freedom fighter. But it's also vitally important that we never forget how some of the people we (the Western World) initially thought were on the right side of the freeom/terrorist equation who turned out to be very bad apples: -The Taliban (romanticized in novels, by politicians, and even in a Rambo movie in the 1980s) -Joseph Stalin (referred to as "Uncle Joe" by FDR and Churchill) -Manuel Noriega (supported and "placed in power" by the CIA -Saddam - Armed to the teeth and supported by the West during and before the Iran-Iraq War In the case of Mandela, a great man was freed, much, in my opinion, through the insight and sheer greatness of F.W. DeKlerk, a courageous man who came to power in SA and knew that the system was wrong and needed to be reformed. In many other cases, though- just a few listed above - thr freedom/terror conundrum turns out to be a case of "you better watch out what you wish for!"

"It's a big dilemma in hindsight: did we prop the Shah up so much that it created a backlash against the West...the Islamic Revolution...or did we not prop him up enough...could more weapons, support and assistance in quelling the riots have helped avoid the "444 days" and the return of Khomeini from exile in France and the thirty+ year fiasco we are now dealing with in regards to Iran?"Are Rules For Keeping Or Breaking In Business?
"It was a beautiful bird and Janes, my bible for all things military, lists the Tomcat as still being a frontline Iranian fighter...though spare parts are hard to come by, leaving most inoperable. They have some newer Soviet stuff, though not much, and their indigeous crap...a copy of the F-5. Once there anti-aircraft capabilities are neutralized, I think any attacking air-force (ie U.S. or Israel) would enjoy complete air-superiority."Subscribe

Get Ready to Register your .XXX Domain Name
"I actually look at this as a positive...a positive start. Whereas right now it seems like a voluntary thing, from what I see, there are stepes in the works whereby sites with explicit content will HAVE to have the xxx domain. Right now, things are very blurry. I click on a site that seems like it has info I need and...WHAM! it's xxx. (Rivkah just added that the other day she clicked on a link from a Hollywood gossip type of site and was directed to a site with bare, bulging shlongs). I think having the xxx domain name will erase the blurring that now exists so before you click, you'll know what you're about to see."
