    Nuclear war

    Do you really believe that would work or would they then realize that they can change a nation's policies with a few "bombs 'n stuff"? Then everytime they disagreed with a countries policy they would revert to what worked last time, terrorism. I think terrorism is more about power and making the statement that "we can make the big countries cower in fear and do what we want". I don't disagree that we have to fix the root causes but we can't give the perception that we are cowering and bowing to their terrorism. I don't believe that the terrorist's mission is as morally just as they claim. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."

    Nuclear war

    From what I have been hearing on the news it looks like Al Quaeda might be involved in this conflict. If you think about it a war between Pakistan and India would help them in several ways. It would pit Muslim against Hindu and possibly unite the rest of the Middle East (which is one thing Bin Laden has been trying to do). The Middle East has less financial ties with India than with the US and would be more likely to support a war against them. It would get Pakistan's attention off of his assets in Pakistan and allow them to operate completely free again. It could escalate to involve Western countries and then turn into a battle between Muslims and the West which is most likely Bin Laden's ultimate goal. One big difference between Chernobyl and a nuclear warhead is that the Chernobyl blast occurred on the ground. A nuclear warhead is usually set to explode high above the ground in order to create the largest blast area. This height is based on the type of target they are attacking but it will spread the radiation a lot further than a ground burst. I don't really think we have anything to worry about though. I also think it is very unlikely they will actually use nuclear weapons. A conventional war is more likely and, in the long run, probably just as dangerous because of the destabilizing effect it will have on the Middle East.

  6. Yes, you send them and, as the platoon leader, you must go with them. The platoon leader almost always goes with the main effort and, in this case, the flanking squad is the main effort. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."

    New Job!

    Today is my last day as an engineer with General Electric! I am taking a new job and they are probably going to make me work. This is going to drastically cut into my DZ.com time. The good news is I'll be in the Virginia area just south of DC for the next four months and should be able to jump on the weekends. If anybody knows any good DZs that are close let me know. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."
  18. I would hand my best friend my cell phone, have him call 911 and take care of the lady while they are enroute. Pick up the woman of my dreams and go skydiving. This way the old lady is saved, your friend gets to be a hero again, and you get the chick. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."
  19. Bill, I thought you were going to be the new model for the LeadingEdge Base Rigs ads?

  22. I can't get the picture of Fred Flintstone's car out of my head. Does this car have foot holes in the floor board? "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."

  24. You need to make sure you uncheck the "add me to your mailing list" box when you are signing up for those online porn sites. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go."
