There not building on ground zero there building nearby. From the map it doesn't even appear to be in eyesight. This is the type of thing that gets blown completely out of proportion by the media.

Historically speaking smaller countries were in fact more likely to seek expansionist policies e.g. Germany and Italy after unification. So therefore 'interventionism' is far more based on political standing than anything else i.e. they sought national prestige and pride through military action rather than facing internal divisions.
I would disagree with you consensus on European power. The majority of continental Europe is against involvement in foreign affairs. Militarily and economically you still have some of the most powerful nations on earth, therefore why wouldn't they want to be involved if these were the sole factors?
If military strength is the reason for an interventionist policy why is China, arguably the second most powerful nation on earth, involved militarily and financially in far less countries than the U.S?
Therefore I would say its far more of cultural thing than anything else. America for the last fifty years has been the world's policeman, in the same way Metternich was for Europe during the early 19th century. Therefore why change policy unless you are forced to? Austria was usurped by Prussia. Will be interesting to see what will happen to the U.S.A.

The list of songs doesnt include the ochestral one that follows the Lloyd TSB remix....starts about 40 secs in. Does anyone know it???
Yes and this is the point that I have been attempting to stress. If you travel to many middle eastern countries (well at least the ones I've been too) the population doesn't hate the U.S in fact that love American TV, American Brands and the idea of an American lifestyle. There are those who hate
America but again, it is the few not the many.
Yes of course propaganda is important to convincing the population that something is bad. However you don't see anti American TV programs on most normal day to day TV schedules. In this same manner however you do see a lot of bashing of Islam as a religion in the media in western nations, and therefore it is not like were setting a perfect example.

Ok I don't get it. Which countries leader has verbally put down the U.S for providing them with aid? The only leaders of nations that I cant think of which are truly anti American at the moment are of Iran and North Korea. I see where your coming from that if you help someone then in turn they should be grateful, but you don't help people to get something in return, at least in a perfect world. Could you please give me some examples of where aid has been provided and then the leader of this Middle Eastern nation has then condoned the U.S.A?
On a side note I think this thread is starting to go off topic....

What do they truly have to apologize for? They cant apologize for fundamentalism or extremism in their countries regions, you don't see Middle Eastern governments openly condoning it. When was the last time an Irish official apologised to the world for the IRA? Or have you heard the U.S government saying that they made a mistake in Iraq? (It may not have been a mistake but it is viewed in the eyes of many as one.)
I think its good that Obama is taking the high road, and through this tour he is helping to forge better relations with countries that may have felt alienated or threatened by the U.S.A. Now I am not saying that this was done intentionally but you can see why some nations might feel that way with Uncle Sam and his battle fleets breathing down their necks. Obama is taking the first steps and hopefully soon other counties will reciprocate.
You asked why these Middle Eastern leaders aren't doing the same thing. Well lets be honest here, America is the superpower and to an extent it is up to them to set the example to the rest of the world. Of course therefore a larger amount of scrutiny falls on its actions, but that's part of being the most powerful nation on earth.

Of course they are. Read a tabloid newspaper and every other week youll see an article bashing Israel, Iran or Muslims as a whole. The usage of internationl communtiy confuses me somewhat. Its not like all the other countries get together every other week and bitch about America. When have you heard a western government as of late put the same amount of critiscism on America as they do on nations such as those in the middle east?
Lowing, why do you generalise so much? I mean how many actual Muslims have you spoken to who have said there not grateful to aid or who don't like America? God if I were too take these posts as what all Americans believed in then as a nation you would appear decisively narrow minded. Yes Muslims have been killing Muslims since the birth of their religion. But if you hadn't noticed so have Christians.
Yes SOME members of Islam are fundamentalists who follow outdated beliefs but you ll find those kinds of people in every religion. If you want an honest opinion America still represents the land of the free, a place where the grass is greener to many people in this world. However its image in recent years in many nations eyes has suffered due to its international policies.
Of course the image of Islam as a religion has been changed as of late, but in the past this has occurred throughout many religions and it seems people are quick to damn being a Muslim as something bad when it is the few not the many who have made it out to be an almost evil thing.

Just because they proved that the earth was round didn't stop religion being in existence, and in this exact same respect another piece in the evolutionary time line doesn't prove that God necessarily isn't real. As i said before this does discount fundamentalist Christan's who say that the earth is 6000 years old, but lets be realistic guys how many of these does anyone actually know? Instead of celebrating the discovery of something which helps to explain our past most people would rather instantly mock those who do not fully accept their beliefs. And your better then than these extremist religious people how exactly?
I'm in no way arguing that this evidence is not real, nor that evolution didn't occur. I am merely saying that peoples belief systems no matter how different they are to you shouldn't be completely discredited just because you see the world in a different light. The fact is to many this evidence disproves the existence of God but to another large majority it just further cements the idea of intelligent design.

Ummm not that I'm into the who religious preaching and what not, but this doesn't alter new age Christians views of how the world was created. Many Christians believed that God created evolution thusly that animal is merely and example of Gods bigger picture. It doesn't discount a newer view of religion merely the old idea that the earth is only a few thousand years old which is pretty much ignored by many religious people.
Firstly Roger should have been dead by the end of it. It really amazes me how they ruined one of my favourite children's books quite so well. A remake with the actual title Northern Lights is needed following the text closer and focusing on the religious themes. Eragorn is another book that was completely butchered by it being turned into a film, truly god awful
Id love to see an updated version of lord of the flies, I also think the edge chronicles could make a fantastic set of movies if done right.

The crusades were never aimed at converting people to Christianity anyway, merely getting rid of them.
Quite enjoyed doing the last one, for a little bit anyway. Count me in after mid june. Will need to reinstall BF2 at some point...
I had/have a similar type of problem but its almost run its course at this point. I tried pretty much everything but I found that it doesn't really help. Theres only two things you can really do.
Speak to her about it. Say that you simply want to be friends, your not in that place, you like someone else. With that third idea get one of your girl mates to agree it with you beforehand so shes not supprised if this other girl comes up to her.
Or just ignore it. I know that its hard, but sometimes as I said letting it run its course seems to work. She'll give up eventually.
Don't be a dick though, that's the only thing. If your going to let her down do it gently, and if your going to ignore her don't be blatant about it. Just when she tries to text you/call you/ speak to you say sorry and that your busy/on the way to something, rather than fuck of bitch or whatever. I'm sure you wouldn't , just have to remember that she has feelings to.

Now I know this is going to be a very silly question....and yet I just cant work it out.
I bought BF2 by itself several years ago and when the disc broke I bought the BF2 deluxe CD which has special forces with it. When I put the cd in I am able to play BF2 but I do not know how to install special forces onto my computer, it doesnt seem to give an option.
Do i need to completely uninstall and then reinstall?

Yeah the current economic crisis isn't comparable yet to what happened in the 1930s. When the U.S government finally has to pay its bills though, then we shall see what happens.
What does that actually mean? All of central asia at the same time, some of these countries with nuclear capability. No chance mate
Yes world war two did bring America fully out of the depression but the alphabet agencies also helped among other things. You cant just start a war when you run out of money. Im studying the crusades in history at the moment and one of Saladins flaws was that to fund his regime he needed to continue fighting. He used the money from each area he captured to fund the next invasion. Things are slightly different however in the 21st century. You cant go invading countries just to help out your economy. If its reached that point you may need to rethink your stratergy.

Yeah sorry couldn't really be arsed with grammar last night. Cheers for the help guys. Problem is I don't have a boot disc/install disc. My computer was custom built and came without any of those sort of things. Can you format without a cd?
Right, just ive never done anything like that before. Is it difficult, time consuming, is there anything special i need?
I was trying to avoid doing that as I'm not really sure how to.
I ran bitdefender but it failed to delete it once and after that it couldnt find it.
Yeah I have that on my computer but it wont run for some reason....
Hi there,
Was just browsing the internet when my computer restarted itself. Its now saying I have a Trojan key logger called Win32.Zafi.B. I'm not very good with the computer but I tried running a virus scan while my system was in safe mode but it didn't find anything. I can't access the internet now on my main computer so I'm on the laptop.
Anyone got any tips for getting rid of the bugger?

This is from a friend of a friend of my dads
"This is the unfortunate experience of a friend of ours. Everyone must fight
for the cause of peace and help eliminate such incidents and people..
Dear friends,
First, I wanted to thank you all for the incredible concern and support that
you’ll have given me over the past few days which have been among the most
emotionally and psychologically draining of my life.
By the grace of God my father was rescued from the Oberoi on Friday with two
(minor) bullet wounds and is now speedily recovering. He did however lose
the two best friends he was dining with that fateful night (who are like
godfathers to me). We also lost a lot of other friends and colleagues and
have watched our beloved city reduced to a war zone and brought to its
knees.
On Wednesday night, my father and his two friends arrived at the Indian
restaurant on the first floor of the Oberoi Hotel for dinner at about 10pm.
They had barely sat down when they heard gun shots in the lobby of the
hotel. The terrorists, armed with AK-47s, grenades and plastic explosives,
had entered the hotel and were executing everybody sitting in the ground
floor restaurant. Realizing the situation, the staff of the restaurant my
father was in asked them to quickly exit through the kitchen. As the guests
tried to rush into the kitchen, one terrorist burst into the restaurant and
began to shoot anyone that remained in the restaurant. At this point my
father was in the kitchen and along with his two friends rushed to the fire
exit. They had barely descended a few steps when they were trapped from both
ends by terrorists.
The terrorists then rounded up anyone alive (about 20 people) and made them
climb the service staircase to the 18th floor. On reaching the 18th floor
landing they made the people line up against a wall. One terrorist then
positioned himself on the staircase going up from the landing and the other
on the staircase going down from the landing. Then, in a scene right out of
the Holocaust, they simultaneously opened fire on the people. My father was
towards the center of the line with his two friends on either side. Out of
reflex, or presence of mind, he ducked as soon as the firing began. One
bullet grazed his neck, and he fell to the floor as his two friends and
several other bodies piled on top of him. The terrorists then pumped another
series of bullets into the heap of bodies to finish the job. This time a
bullet hit my father in the back hip. Bent almost in double, crushed by the
weight of the bodies above him, and suffocating in the torrent of blood
rushing down on him from the various bodies my father held on for ten
minutes while the terrorists left the area. When he finally had the courage
to wiggle his arms he found that there were four other survivors in the
room. They communicated to each other by touch as they were too afraid to
make a sound. My father moved just enough to allow himself room to breathe
and then lay still. The survivors passed over twelve hours lying still in
the heap of bodies too afraid to move. They constantly heard gunfire and
hand grenades going off in the other parts of the hotel. They feared that
any noise would bring the terrorists back. After approximately twelve hours,
the terrorists returned with a camera and flashlight and joked and laughed
as they filmed what they thought was a pile of dead bodies. They then moved
to the landing below where they set up explosives. On their departing, my
father decided that it was too risky to remain where they were due to the
explosives. Along with the other three survivors he climbed the rest of the
stairwell, where they discovered a large HVAC plant room in which they
decided to take shelter. They passed the rest of the siege hiding in this
room trying to get the attention of the outside world by waving a makeshift
flag out of the window. They drank sips of dirty water from the Air
Conditioning unit to survive. Finally on Friday morning they were spotted by
a commando rescue team that was storming the building and were evacuated to
safety and taken to the hospital.
This is just one of the countless horror stories that unfolded in those two
days. There are many stories of entire families being wiped out while eating
their dinner, or young kids losing both parents, or pregnant women being
shot while pleading for their lives, or hostages being beaten to death with
the butt of a rifle so that their faces were unrecognizable. The terrorists
attacked on every level. They killed middle class workers when they shot up
the railway station, they killed the elite in the hotels, they killed
tourists and kids as they ate in a café, and they killed the sick and dying
when they stormed three hospitals. They shot people in the roads, in
stations, in hotels, and even entered an apartment building. They killed
Indians, Americans, Britons, Israelis, and several other nationalities. They
killed men, women, children, policemen, firemen, doctors, patients. This was
systematic, cold-blooded, slaughter.
We have lost a lot of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Every person
who lives in South Mumbai has a story about how either they or someone they
love either died or had a narrow escape. The true extent of the horror will
only make itself clear over the next few days.
Mumbai is a proud city and we pride ourselves on bouncing back from any
adversity. We survive and prosper despite all the difficulties placed on us.
We are no strangers to terror and have had to pick up the pieces and move on
after several attacks. This time however, the sheer scale and audacity
brought the city to its knees. The openness of our society, the bustling
hoards in our train stations, the vibrancy of our news media, and the
thousands of tourists, diplomats, and business leaders packing our hotels
was used against us to devastating effect.
In the end one tries to make sense of all this. Barack Obama said about the
killers of 9/11: "My powers of empathy, my ability to reach into another's
heart, cannot penetrate the blank stares of those who would murder innocents
with such serene satisfaction."
Unfortunately, this is becoming an all familiar scene in today’s world.
While I cannot understand, I recognize again and again the hatred, anger,
and desperation of the terrorists and the cold blooded, targeted,
ruthlessness of those that dispatch them. They respect nothing but their own
twisted beliefs and to achieve them have declared war on an entire way of
life. India now finds itself as a major front of this global war.
How do we fight such hate? How do we inject humanity into such monstrosity?
How do we convince those who think they kill in god’s name that no God
would condone such barbarity? How do we maintain our own values and humanity
when faced with such hate and provocation?
Over the next week as we say goodbye to those we lost and help those that
survive, Mumbai and India will ask themselves these questions. I hope the
rest of the world does too.
Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers. "

Is this laptop multi-regional, as in will I be able to play DVD's from the U.S and Europe on it without having to change the reigon and then it getting locked on one or the other.
If not can anyone recommend me a good program that allows you to watch both without changing the hardware. Does VLC media player allow you to watch both?
Hello there
I'm looking to buy a laptop for christmas and was wandering where the best place to buy one from is, (In England)
I have about £600 to spend on it. I wasnt sure of where the best place to buy it from, whether or not one of the new dell xps are worth it. I wasnt sure also if I should buy one with a blu ray drive or just a normal dvd one or one of the ones which can do both. If you could give me a few suggestions that would be great
Thanks

If a civilian had a gun then yes they would have put up fight almost definetley, thats the sort of country Indias like. I'm not sure however in this case if this would have occured. The hotels where the shootings happened are very up market 5 star ones and its unlikely the people staying in them would have been carrying anything however the guards on the gates would have been most likely carrying some sort of rifle.
It's been quite a strange reaction from my family. One member thought that India should invade Pakistan right away which I think may be a tad ott (seeing as there not even sure if the attackers where from there), but it shows that there is still a very anti muslim feeling in the country. The rest are supprised. If you could see how much India has changed recently many people thought that the country was past this sort of thing. If your trying to establish yourself in the world a large terroist action has a very negative effect on your image. As this was such a large attack it has genuinely made people feel unsafe in a country which normally is perfectly so.

One of the hotels where the shootings have been taken place in, is one that I have stayed in a few times, which is a tiny bit unerving. I wouldnt worry about your cousin mate, 99% of the time India is a fine place to be.
To be honest I see an invasion of Pakistan as a very unlikely occurance by American forces. However I wouldnt count out India invading itself and calling for Americas backing. It may sound a little far fetched but recently tensions have been fraying already weak bonds between the two.

as previously in the thread 100 sas vs 100 navy seals would be an interesting fight
however the sas would probably take out a few marines before they where completley overwhelmed
