That's an interesting question. I haven't heard of any other similarities, have you? How many bombs went off in Turkey and was it the same sort of synchronized situation as in India? Usually terrorist groups come forward and claim responsibility quickly.

Don't certain countries like China have extremely restricted Internet? I don't know how effective it is to regulate. But, really, this explains a lot. I was wondering why where wasn't an Amazon Cuba and why I don't have any Cuban friends on MySpace.

Isn't that a common trap to fall into? Rush gets news whenever he's controversial (and he's not alone) so it's ultimately beneficial for him to be controversial and blunt and bold as much as possible. Maybe I'm naive, but I really don't believe that it's necessarily so calculated a move though ...

I think that one of the reasons that certain actions need to be punished is because of the consequences. If your actions, which were reckless or dangerous in anyway, snuff out an innocent life, then don't you deserve to be punished? A son or daughter or mother or father or brother or sister or ...

I agree full heartedly. Police departments are famous for being forced to meet quotas, and who do I really want on the street protecting me? Who do I want responding to the call if I'm in serious danger? The best person for the position, or the best minority candidate, or whatever? Obviously, the ...

Now, I'm not a scientist and I'm full willing to accept Al ...

Seriously, though, it's apples and oranges. All of the soldiers (and other military) who have joined up knew what their pay was going to be and knew that they were signing up during wartime.
