A haven for furries and pedo..ageplayers. Lovely. Somethingawful.com has explored this matter in a quite interesting manner already: link removed (yeah, most of those are definetly not worksafe)

Slightly off-topic but an another historical grand strategy game has been released; Europa Universalis III, covering most of earth and years 1435-1789. Far more politically and economically oriented than the total war series though.

huh... well by technicality he's right. but there is a whole article on amending the constitution. So, he may be saying "hint: fix it." Alberto Gonzales; the great civil rights campaginer.

In other news.. the US attourney general (or whatever he is called) thinks right to habeas corpus does not exist in the US constitution. Whaddayaknow. http://baltimorechronicle.com/2007/011907Parry.shtml

I bet you would'nt have gotten too many "yeah, let's invade iraq"-answers out of americans before their administration started beating the war drum. Do not underestimate any goverment's ability to create motivation for a war if needed. Especially a goverment like the one in PRC.

Yeah right.

Who?

That seems quite outlandish to me. Sources?

Jesus H. Christ, do we really have to drag USA and something that happened >60 years ago to every thread?

not really, as there is a pernament US naval force stationed in the area to prevent such a thing (or at least i recall there was) And that little detail known as the Republic of China and it's fairly capable military.

Ah, screw it. I don't want to get yelled for bringing Iraq into this.

Who cares?

The Hetz system is currently designated to deal with a the threat of Scud missiles and Sheehab 3 missiles. Although it is designated to destroy the attacking missile in the Stratosphere, I dont think it can handle MIRV systems. As far as I know, even the USSR at the time found it difficult to built MIRV systems, so currently the US, which is not a threat to Israel, Â is the only nation to have this kind of missiles. Actually, they did manage to develop MIRV missiles and before that they simply compensated with a slightly dumber way.. they made insane amounts of single-warhead missiles. Even the british Tridents use MIRVs.

The current ABM systems are far from working, they have been able to take out some test targets with variable success and those have been carefully controlled tests with things like radio beacons attached to the target and no countercountermeasures. Not true. Israel has developed an Anti Balistic Missile System named "Hetz" (Arrow). This system reached operational status last year. It succesfuly destroyed dummy missiles that recreated the true course of a balistic missilie (They had to specially built a new kind of missile for that purpose). By the way, the first agreement between the USSR and the USA limited the number of ABM batteries to 2 around each capital, thus, ABM systems are not a new invention."Hetz" Missile What kind of ballistic missiles? I seriously doubt they managed to effectively prevent MIRV'd ICBMs.

.. and this is why we build our own.
