I agree it would be somewhat similar to the Masons. Vastly more secretive, and state sponsored. They'd also have to actively recruit! No to be one ask one. They'd have to push. Of course Masons are often mentioned in the same breath as Zionists. They are obviously a threat to what extremists...
I agree for the most part, that is why I put in the caveat of there being tolerance for that in the scope of a larger war. However, I believe that in the long run it is against our strategic interest. I'm not advocating specifically military destruction of all despots by us at once, however, I...
I'd have to agree. I think that's one of the most ignorant things I've read in a while. Do we declare a war on tribalism now? A natural human tendency. Maybe we should declare wars on emotions too. Anger is our enemy!
The nation (state or stateless), or the ideology that threatens our nation...
Alright. Having just looked that up, I found that it is not legal to kill ones wife in either Colombia or Brazil anymore. It is still legal in Haiti and then any other country mentioned it being legal or frequently practiced in is a Muslim nation. And outside of these nations it is most commonly...
Wide problems need wide brushes. This is a cultural problem and needs a cultural solution. Those who advocate continuing it on a case by case basis are not seeing the bigger picture and are in fact pushing a trend that allows it to continue. It is very much along the line of those who say...
Agreed. This is one issue that the west in particular should stand tall and strong on. This not acceptable behavior. This is an issue that must be dealt with swiftly and broadly. It must be shown that it is far more shameful to kill and injure those you care about. The logic should be that the...
I just wanted to state that honour killings are indeed a problem, and have been documented at places like littlegreenfootballs.com .So much a problem that the Turkish government (as can be seen in one of the stories listed below) has been cracking down on the practice. The Brits are looking into...
I'd have to agree it was likely the citizenry who conducted this. However, I would not put it off the table that the Russians may have funded (purchased) this attack. It has been done many times and will be done again.
I tried playing it a while ago. I think I got frustrated from the UI and I really didn't understand the mechanics of the game. Perhaps I'll give it another try.

Just curious if anyone has picked up this book? I am going to.

Brave New War
"Globalization is quickly layering new skill sets on ancient mindsets. Warriors, in our current context of global guerillas, are not...
Good read. Very interesting concepts, even in the comments. I hadn't thought of using gravity to explain it. I do however think more emphasis must be placed, maybe visualized somehow, on deprogramming. That dimension is what is missing in this gravity well competition. I do like the idea of...
What do you think about the 1 million arabs in Israel (including many former Egyptian/Jordanians (Palestinians)) of whom count themselves as democratically represented Israeli citizens? Who represents the Jews in every other Arab country where Jews live in? Or Christians? Or Zoroastrians? Or...
1) I also mentioned attacks on civilians.
2) American civilians have also been killed by terrorists since 9/11 without the same coverage.
EDIT: Clarification. I did not mention attacks on civilians specifically, but covered it generally in "terrorist attacks"
Has anyone else noticed the somewhat startling way in which the two seem to be reported entirely differently? The man sends crazed videos to NBC and they don't publish it outright, but rather hold it back for "fear of creating copycats". They sure don't seem to be scared of creating copycat Bin...
I just wanted to emphasis this. *Any* online poll with over a hundred people, is almost guaranteed to be rigged in some way by a voter (someone voting at home and at work, for instance). If this internet poll is to be displayed on national television or in a major newspaper or website, this poll...
Of course, but Hamas is still there and represents Palestine. Democratically. Placing a Hamas' constitutional inclusion of the required destruction of Israel right to the top of the priority list in said government (not that it wasn't there before, but it solidified it). So if they are not...
