The Taliban were by far the worst government Afghanistan has ever had A year after the Taliban seized power, I interviewed UN staff, foreign aid workers and Afghans in Kabul. The CIA's supply of Stinger missiles to the mujahideen forced the Soviets out of Afghanistan This myth of the 1980s was given new life by George Crile's 2003 book Charlie Wilson's War and the 2007 film of the same name, starring Tom Hanks as the loud-mouthed congressman from Texas
Jim Bob 5pts Its people like this guy that actually bring Americans together and reaffirm our unflinching loyalty to our country, each other, democracy and freedom. Flash mobs around the country are pointing to a basic political and social unrest which is probably a result of the economic collapse, the USA loss of its triple-A rating being only one symptom
As technological progress allows the exchange of goods and ideas over longer distances and among larger groups of trading partners, other people become more valuable alive than dead. The rate of documented direct deaths from political violence (war, terrorism, genocide and warlord militias) in the past decade is an unprecedented few hundredths of a percentage point
In addition, according to the comment by the editor of Science, "The findings support the view that the Holocene Thermal Maximum, the Medieval Warm Period, and the Little Ice Age were global events, and they provide a long-term perspective for evaluating the role of ocean heat content in various warming scenarios for the future."You forgot to mention that the pacific ocean has been much warmer over most of the last 10,000 years. Maybe your experience is different and you never got more than 3 feet offshore and faced inland all the time.Perhaps, instead of shooting from the hip with utterly invalid comparisons, you'd actually look up something to really understand what the hell you're talking about for a change
The farmer will always have the lowest cost system for sequestration of carbon and it is about time that the carbon markets recognize that as it's very foundation. If there are too many animals, they eat all the plant growth, and one of the most important ways of getting carbon into the soil is through photosynthesis
But they can't, because half of them ARE bullies, they can't STAND to have both sexes be neutral and equal, they just HAVE to have one be superior to the other SOMEHOW. It does no disrespect to the victims of Columbine or Sandy Hook to note that while violence may be built into the core of a small coterie of sociopathic boys, most boys are not sociopathic
From my point of view, conservatives want to punish women who accidentally become pregnant while the man who helped to create the situation slips out the back door, unnoticed and unpunished. However, liberals want a nanny state, they want everything paid for by the government; therefore, the government feels it has the right to tell you what to do
Tech - TIME
Think of it as football unbound, and another example of the power of games to bring totally ridiculous ideas (that turn out to be pretty darned good ones) to life. In the demo I tried at a downtown New York City hotel on July 16, that meant a combination of clearing tiny fish out of the way of my scuba mask to get a better look at a humpback whale, grabbing the right ingredients out of a fridge and placing them in a pot to make soup, and failing miserably at rebuilding a broken robot

Secret World War II Chemical Experiments Tested Troops By Race : NPR
Susan Matsumoto says her husband, Tom, who died in 2004 of pneumonia, told his wife that he was OK with the testing because he felt it would help "prove he was a good United States citizen." Matsumoto remembers FBI agents coming to her family's home during the war, forcing them to burn their Japanese books and music to prove their loyalty to the U.S. Its main function, according to military documents obtained by NPR, was to gather data on "the behavior of lethal chemical agents." Document One of the studies uncovered by NPR through the Freedom of Information Act was conducted in the Spring 1944
Even the Truth and Reconciliation Commission acknowledged that more Blacks were killed by the ANC than by RSA security forces.Sad thing is that a truly great African leader, Jonas Savimbi, died a few years ago, practically unnoticed. It is routine to suggest that the legacy of a man or woman will outlive that person, but in this case, the world will never be the same now that Nelson Mandela has occupied it
Gay Marriage Decision Is Right Time to End Religious Tax Exemptions
The Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage makes it clearer than ever that the government shouldn't be subsidizing religion and non-profits Two weeks ago, with a decision in Obergefell v. But it is also largely because of something I was right about: by tying sex, love, and commitment together into a coherent whole, marriage could heal a broken gay culture
It's Time to End the War on Salt - Scientific American
These findings call into question the common wisdom that excess salt is bad for you, but the evidence linking salt to heart disease has always been tenuous. Intersalt, a large study published in 1988, compared sodium intake with blood pressure in subjects from 52 international research centers and found no relationship between sodium intake and the prevalence of hypertension
The physical and mental strain of the long hours at dispersal, the constant flying at high altitudes (two or three sorties a day were normal, six or seven not uncommon), must have been prodigious. Jul 18 1940 Rising casualties at home, Mediterranean fleet bombed During the operations in the Eastern Mediterranean last week the Fleet and the slower of the two convoys from Malta to Alexandria which the Fleet was covering were continually bombed without success
World War II
Fascism, was a promise to respond to the needs of the people more effectively than a democracy could and to assure defense against the state becoming communist. There was the development of new weaponry, such as the long-range rocket and the A-bomb, as well as radical advancements in the mechanized units and the air force
