Marius, your ignorance is astonishing. Bin Laden was not a US partner at any time. He was part of the rebel force fighting the Soviet Union in the 80s and that force received US aid but we didn't train them to murder civilians, we trained them how to defend their homeland from foreign military invaders. Before commenting in the future mariuss, I suggest you get more informed on the issues.
Nothing wrong with wanting to code. I'm just pointing out that your post sounds as if you would like to write your own to save $20.
It is up to the person making the assertion that the CIA trained these people. There is already no shortage of evidence that the terrorists went to Florida, took flying lessons, and went from there. Are you suggesting that the CIA were flight instructors in Florida?
I agree with the article you are referring to: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2001/09/14/afghanistan/index.html
There is an open source program called Illumination. It doesn't do all of what WindowBlinds does but it does paint the title bars. Though, you do realize that it took years and years of work to create WindowBlinds. If your time is worth only $10 per year, please email me your resume. We're always on the look out for people willing to work for virtually nothing.
On the side of my house there was a huge wasp nest this summer. They had literally dug a cave into the ground at the base of the house. It was quite impressive really. My wife complained that I needed to do somethign about it. Every time we were on the deck, the wasps would be buzzing around u
The CIA did not teach people how to hijack and fly civilian airplanes into office buildings, Torm.
The world is truly uniting in ways unthought of a week ago.
I'm reposting my previous comment: Can we get rid of evil? No. But if you don't think we can get rid of islamic militants, then I suggest you take a hard look at the history of World War II. Fascism was thought to be the next big thing. The wave of the future. Nothing would stand in its way. No one would have ever thought that the world could be totally rid of Nazism. But it's effectively gone as a force in the world. But there are still Nazi's here
I wish Doreen you would listen to the words of others instead of simply repeating what you have stated over and over. Please re-read what I have said above to you and respond to that rather than repeating emotionally charged but practically useless statement of "look in your little boy's eyes.." Doing nothing ensures that innocents will die. More innocents than if we do something decisive.
I dunno.
Except here we're the Organians. And we're pissed. Evil cannot be wholly conquered. But it can be beaten down to a low. We don't worry today about Japanese or German terrorists are going to attack us. Why? Because their cultures are assimilated into the wider world. We are all friends now. Our goal needs to bring these people into the wider world. And right now, it seems that mi
You make an artificial distinction, Doreen. If we do not eradicate terrorism, my little boy may be killed. We all could be killed. In case you didn't read it, I've been to the WTC many times. I have a security badge because of my travels there. You keep making the artificial distinction that somehow, being a civilian is protection. Clearly, that doesn't mean a thing. I do think this could become a World War III in the sense that the entire world may be involved. But unlike
"made the US lose face"? How? Because someone murdered a bunch of unarmed civilians? Oh yea, big men. And the cowards aren't the perpetrators themselves, they're just fools, mindless tools. The cowards are the terrorist organizations themselves who don't even have the balls to take credit for what they've done.

To you or others it may be simply idle arbitrary discussions. In the United States, it's in our faces. Nothing got done at Stardock this week. This isn't some sort of "interesting philosophical" discusison to us. It's something that is affecting us personally and deeply.
Doreen, you need to look at this from a rational large scale perspective. The United States really has no choice. These attacks won't stop. They will continue to escalate. Eventually these people will have nuclear weapons. To try to dismiss these people as a "few nuts" is to ignore the danger. It took more more than a "few nutes" to do this. It required considerable capital and organization to do this. Doing nothing will ensure that someone's children are most assuredl
Thanks for your kind words. In these days of moral relativism and arguments of moral equivalence, it's important that people realize that good and evil do exist and that evil can be defeated utterly. People think that these fanatics can't be stopped, that by taking out one, another will step into place. This kind of thinking shows a lack of knowledge of history. The problem can be solved, it is just a matter of whether the civilized countries of the world will have the resolve
Well said Artifakt. What I mean by turning them into "us" isn't that they're clones of Americans. But that they have embraced the Western way of living and they are much better off for it. Japan should be the model for the rest of the world in my opinion. Japan is a good decent nation today. Pacificistic. Industrious. Honest. Honorable. A real contributor to the world. Wealthy. Creative. The Japan of 1935 is vastly different than the Japan of 1955.
WW2 has long been my hobby. But I read on-line about NL today and the US's role in its liberation.
Here's an article about civilians: http://denbeste.nu/essays/civilians.shtml
Yes, and it was also on September 14, 1944 when soldiers from the US liberated the southern part of the NL.

I think people forget the impact the United States has had on the world (both good and bad but overall overwhelmingly good). BTW, The Netherlands had a moment of silence today in appreciation of the liberation of the southern part of the country by the United States today in 1944.
The cultures of Germany and Japan were fundamentally changed. Japan loves Mickey mouse and Coca Cola and Levi's jeans. Their defeat and occupation allowed us to instill our cultural views on them. If you disagree, I suggest you look at the Japanese and German culture of say 1935 and then look at it again in 1955.
