You know the answer, they were working on the building until they were suspended. LWR alone cannot produce a nuclear missile. You are intentionally dodging the point, the access to plans and training applicable to nuclear production cannot be taken away from N. Korean minds and hands. Kedo and ABB aided Korea in their nuclear capability as I stated: ...that aided North Korea in obtaining nuclear capabilities .

I think it's pretty obvious that Newsweek is catering to different audiences, I find it highly interesting that Newsweek seems to think Americans want to hear more celebrity 'news' then world news. I'm reposting the article here as you may have missed the link provided in my reply #12. It explains where the pictures came from - Newsweek International and how to do it yourself with this month's covers. The embedded links don't transfer over in the abstract I'm providing, but if you fol

You see, the whole thing started when this blogger thought people were blaming Bush for North Korea having nukes.

The original source for the photograph came from Newsweek. It is my guess that their target audience overseas is dominated by readers who are fluent in English. That shouldn't be too uncommon as many foreign grammar schools begin teaching English as a second language early on. The TESL (teaching english second language) program is one many of my professors have participated in. They will leave for a summer to go to some place like France and instruct at the collegiate level.

How did we 'lose' the Iraq conflict when you haven't defined 'winning', Island Dog? If winning is regime change, then we won. If you're referring to winning as babysitting Iraq for the next forty years with a large military presence then you may be sorely disappointed to find that few Americans are interested in the prospect of our guys being a big fat bullseye in the middle of the desert until Iraqis are dragged, kicking and screaming, into becoming a contemporary secular democracy th

I have no idea how Brad does it. By my count, he has a wife, a child, runs a small company (no company is ever small) and spits out this many articles and provides this much interaction. As excellent as the Draginol quality is, it must be stretched fairly thinly from time to time.

2001 census said 1,536,015 muslims in England and wales. 1% of that is 15,360 or so. Not 100k, mind you, but not insignificant, either. - Bakerstreet Credit and thanks to Bakerstreet for doing the homework.

We let our pride blind ourselves to the fact that maybe, MAYBE, there is no military solution to this problem. - Cikomyr We would better off trying to solve problems like AIDS or cancer, or internal criminality rather than hunting terrorist worldwide, only worsening the problem (because, let's face it, the problem just worsened since 2001.) - Cikomyr If someone is threatening our way of living, it's the Bush Administration who've changed some fundemental right

Looks like more people are coming to their senses regarding the lamestream media. How comforting. Many of my sentiments echoed years later...but I digress. Keith is quite a performer - so much so I can barely watch his self-righteous finger pointing. I can appreciate simply reading 'his' special comments, however I often wonder whom those people are that make up the small army of writers and researchers for Olberman's daily show. Now that it has become inescapa

"Come on. I could waste time reiterating the things you'd say if the poll went the other way..." - BakerStreet That's untrue. Comparing multiple polls provides a broader context. That's good. I invite any pertinent polls you would have to offer.

I've a few Muslim friends. Two of them live here in Jefferson City. They are both extremely mild mannered, polite, and quiet gentlemen. I've come to appreciate their overall demeanor and they take my ribbing of them being 'terrorist A-rabs' quite well. Of course, they've known me for years now, and understand that the running joke is not actually at their expense but at the expense of stereotypical midwestern

Translation by Babelfish: Since many years, we defend here an idea which is not very original, though disputed all the same by some: the israélo-Palestinian conflict is not a regional conflict like another.
