There are people over there that hate all westerners for no realYou see, that's the kind of mentality that many americans need to get
reason and would kill us all if they had the chance. Those soldiers,
whether they are Bulgarian, Romanian, UK-ian or USA-ian, are killing
those bad people and keeping them from having hatefull little children.
It will all turn out for the best, even if it WAS unjustified, good
things will happen soon I think.
I can honestly say that I appreciate the soldiers.ouch... the question is why do they hate Americans. I'm absolutely sure that all the islamistic propaganda is only the tip of the iceberg, an aftereffect. And going there starting just another war they have no chance of winning "fairly" (-> terrorism) certainly wont improve the relationship. The only solution would be to "kill 'em all"... and we're Germany 1933-1945. History is an ironic bitch.

And I still don't see why the US is more trustworthy than Iran.

I think that until bombs can be made to have a lot less fallout and effects on the WHOLE world, we ought not even consider using them.

The antimatter would be held in a vacuum chamber with a magnetic field which prevents it from colliding with the boundary of said chamber, then the field is switched off to detonate the bomb.

wil5on said:I thought about the vacuum, but I didn't think about the magnetic field. does antimatter have magnetic fields? and if so, is its field reversed in polarity from the regular version of the element?

Back then however we had...10,000 megaton bombs?

while the US has only dropped 2 A-Bombs ever, there have only been 2 bombs ever dropped. i.e. USA has dropped 100% of offensive atomic bombs.

Orpheus said:I dunno why, but that really bothers me. Being of a military background, I don't see it as an angry response. Maybe its simple semantics but I just don't see it as such.

<DIV class=quotetext>However, only two bombs were actually used in anger.

wil5on said:Justification aside. Have you ever contemplated wars? The people fighting them almost never start them so "Anger" isn't a factor.
I thought the term "in anger" was used to describe any action against an enemy. I can see your point, and we can debate all day whether dropping the bombs was neccessary, or justified, but the fact remains that it was an act of war, an attack in anger.
