  1. Which post-WWII civil war would make a good game setting?

    I've read a lot about Congo's civil war --don't remember much about Americans being involved, even as mercenaries. Unless you count the CIA's assassination of Moise Tshombe . . . the only real fighters there were the mercenaries. The Simbas ran away when they realized that the mercs' bullets...

  2. Clancys plan for peace in the middle east

    Clancy's plan wasn't to have the Swiss running Jerusalem, it was the Swiss Guards--of the Vatican. Of course, in his book the IDF doesn't open fire on peaceful Palestinain protestors--what a crock.

  3. Could there be a Lebanese Civil War anytime soon?

    The most powerful Christian faction, led by Michel Aroun, is actually allied with Hezbollah. The Druze won't fight unless they're attacked.

  4. WI The Sinai still in Israeli hands?

    Grimm's just making stuff up again. Javitz lost the Republican primary to D'Amato. What does the general election have to do with that? Everyone with two eyes and two ears who was alive at the time knows why Javitz lost that primary--because of Camp David. Liberal Jews were ready to jump...

  5. WI: Israel withdraws

    What does many mean? I've only counted two dead Israeli Arabs (both kids, I think--brothers; they were Christian too)--the news ALWAYS mentions it when Israeli Arabs die in the rocket attacks. One rocket, two dead by my count.

  6. WI The Sinai still in Israeli hands?

    If Israel hadn't given back the Sinai: they wouldn't be getting that 5 billion dollars a year of American taxpayer money (3 billion dollars a year to both Israel and Egypt was the original deal--Egypt still only gets 3 though); they would still be at war with Egypt (Sadat might not've been...

  7. NFL what ifs

    Norwood makes that kick and the Bills don't see another Superbowl. I think Kelly is actually better off being 0-4 in the SB than he would be 1-0. Afterall, I notice that you didn't mention Jeff Hostetler--the winning QB of that game. Parcells would still be regarded as a genius just for...

  8. US military dictatorship

    The entire political leadership of the US are Domestic Enemies of the Constitution. Therefore, military people are required by their oath to overthrow that political leadership.

  9. NFL what ifs

    If the Bills had won the AFL champoinship that year (they lost 31-7), they'd've faced the Packers in SBI. The Bills stacked-up much better against the Packers: KC was the AFL's best offensive team (about 90 more points scored than Buffalo), but Buffalo's defense was head and shoulders above...

  10. Greek Capital in…

    Corinth is the best place. Dig a canal through the city and ships can go from the Agean to the Adriatic without going through the Ionian.

  11. Tecumseh gets his Confederacy...posthumously

    There WAS a Great Man--Tenskawatana, Tecumseh's brother. He led the failed attack at Tippacanoe. He still had followers when died of old age in OTL. (I think a better ATL is that Tensky's plan worked and they managed to kill Harrison at the start of the attack. The newspapers would've...

  12. WI: Israel withdraws

    But South Africa WAS occupying lands belonging to other nations, the Xhosa, Zulu, and several others (a nation is a cultural entity, not a political one)--the whites then granted the various tribes "independence," so that they could vote for the gov'ts in their "homelands" or bantustans without...

  13. WI: Israel withdraws

    The situation isn't exactly the same: Israel still hasn't fully instituted the whole apartheid thing. The primary argument of the South African whites for not doing away with apartheid was the same: "If we allow the blacks to share power, they will kill us. There are too many bad feelings...

  14. WI: Israel withdraws

    20 Years ago, everyone was saying that about South Africa. The Truth Commissions worked pretty well there . . ..

  15. With out the war in the Pacific would Carriers still become the queens of the sea

    The next gun upgrade the USN actually puts on its ships will be electromechanically fired ones--they'll be propelled by flux.

  16. WI: Israel withdraws

    That is a canard. It was not anywhere near everything at Taba in 2000. Israel offerred 97% of the land in the West Bank. Israel doesn't regard East Jerusalem as part of the West Bank--even though they have expanded the municipal boundaries of the city to the point that it consists of almost 15%...

  17. Scandinavian religion

    Was Harold Haardrade Christian?

  18. WI: Israel withdraws

    Syria and Iran are no more oppressive and barbaric than Egypt and Jordan are. The difference is: Egypt and Jordan take their orders from Israel-America while Syria and Iran do not.

  19. WI: No Transistors?

    Once the germanium diode was invented, the transistor could not be stopped. It only makes sense that adding a second junction to the existing one would allow control; amplification wouldn't be far off.

  20. WI: Israel withdraws

    Any Israeli politician with the power to make this happen who even suggested such a thing would be Rabined within a week.
