I would not put alot of stock in it, tho. I would not put alot of stock in our missile defense program, either. and even though im an imperialist warmongering dog, i wouldnt pay much heed to At's idea about promptly blowing up any potential threats to the good old empire.

I mean, we're the kings of blowing stuff up. better than anybody in history, as a co-worker of mine is fond of pointing out. if we could solve the worlds problems - or even our problems - by blowing stuff up, there wouldnt be any problems left that needed solving.

Besides we already know America is the best country in the world with the best army in the world.
And we all know you can't win guerilla battles; Vietnam anyone?

I hope I haven't stepped on too many toes...

Edit: typo's!

That was not a result of the supreme effectiveness of guerilla tactics, but a result of not waging a real invasion on the part of the US for fear of massive riots at home. If the US forces were not severely restricted, Vietnam would have fallen in months at most.

In short, guerrillas wants to "save" the population and the country, whether this "saving" its wanted or not (Mao Tse-tung, Che Guevara), while terrorists wants to "save" only a segment of that population (IRA, ETA). This means that the critical mass necessary for a terrorist war to be "succesful" its lower than for a guerrilla war, thus making a guerrilla war easier to win for the counter-guerrilla forces.

This is true. Look at the IRA. It has been proven in various referendums, polls etrc that the vast majority of ppl in Ireland- catholic & protestant on both sides of the border- just want everyone to stop killing one another and come to some sort of peace. Most of them were happy with the Good Friday agreement and support the principle of the power-sharing idea.

But the IRA and other bastard Groups over there keep blowing stuff up, keep killing people. There is no way they can possibly claim to have the support of the population any more, and I for one am no longer willing to even credit them with a political agenda. As far as I'm concerned they are a bunch of psychopaths who enjoy killing, and only use the political thing as an attempt to justify their sick passtime. These people should be treated as murderers and lunatics, not as some kind of political force.

Look at the Omagh bombing- that wasn't targetted at any particular population. Both catholics and protestants died that day. People from north and republic of Ireland, as well as people from other countries altogether. How can they claim to do it for anything other than sadistic pleasure?

Same applies to the ppl who organised the WTC attacks. Stop treating them like some political/ national force backed by a population and start treating them like the criminals they are.

The url Puke gave states that the Russian Military tested the weapon. That is ridiculous! Half the country can't feed itself the other half is so devasated by crime that they can't do anything usefull for the world or their country (Trust me, I know, I've been to Russia and the surrounding countries quite a few times, and my GF comes from Poland. So I receive a lot of news from that corner of the world). And Putin has to develop a new weapon. Can't he do something useful for his people?
Yeah, I know a new weapon sells. And a good selling weapon means profit. But you can be assurd that the profit he gains won't go to Mother Russia. The great can of money will be emptied in useless things like the Tjetchin War.
Stupid arse.

Sorry if I sound a bit angry, but this is soooo grrr....
