Why didn't Great Britain get involved in the Vietnam War?

I understand that lacrimal fluid flows from the lacrimal gland positioned on the lateral orbital region of the eye to the excretory lacrimal ducts which transmit tears across the eye surface. These tears (lacrimal fluids) then collect into medial little holes called the lacrimal puncta and then flow into the lacrimal canaliculus to the lacrimal sac and then drain into the nasolacrimal duct.
So then, it seems that this flow of lacrimal secretion/fluid increases substantially in the lacrimal gland where it then oozes out to flow in the rest of its path. Am I right in assuming this? So, then, why does being upset/highly emotional increase lacrimal secretion in the lacrimal glands above the eyes?

Well, I've been trying to think of some omnivores that live in the ocean, but so far none have come to me. Can any one name some for me? Thanks.

Do they day dream wistfully about "what might be", if only America could be brought to heel under the Communist yoke of oppression?

Would they replace the 50 Stars on our flag with a Hammer & Sickle?

One guess would be that the high-school and college-aged people of most countries are both less religious than their elders, and more inclined to be online for longer, hence more atheists active on Yahoo Answers in general.

That only accounts for some of it though. I have more theories, but I'd like to hear your opinions now.
No hateful answers, please, I'm looking for serious theories. (Well, funny ones are fine - just no "Because ___ group is dumb" answers)

This isn't a question, it just relates to question asked by someone else about thier dog eating dandelions. From "the joy of cooking": A very tart green with jagged-edged leaves that look like arrows. Young, tender leaves less than 6 inches long are the least tart and are ideal in salads. Both raw and cooked, dandelion greens have a rich, braing flavor and are worth buying when they appear in the market." Doesn't say anything about the flower portion.

We had my dog for about 1 month now. We got him from a resque center. But when he was a puppy he was abused by a man. The people we got him from said that it only takes about 2 weeks to get use to my dad. It's been a whole month, and he's not use to my dad! Does this sound right? He's he just scared because he moved from 3 different houses? Is this normal? Please HELP!

a cool car, a bigger house than yours and may be being hotter than your gf/wife? And if your gf keeps groaning on about how you don't even know driving and you don't give her enough money to buy exclusive clothes...etc. Will you divert your angry to this female neighbour, trying to get her in bed as a revenge to reclaim your manliness back??? because I suspect this guy gave me the booty call for those reasons. Is it possible for a guy to do that for those reasons? Guys' true opinion please.

A dream I've had twice is about zombies... they're surrounding our home, but they never break in, though they seem hungry and violent. I'm scared of them and pull the blinds down to avoid seeing them... at the end of the dream, they all turn in regular human beings... I have'nt watched any zombies movies lately, so why do you think I've had this dream?

My mother tells me about this dream she has... about Demons that she cannot see, but she knows are around, demons that frighten her... what could this interpret to?

So anyways, there is this guy that I like, and today he was like all over me, and we almost had sex, but I didn't really want to because I didn't know what was happening. I asked him if we were going out and he said that we were just hooking up. That made me upset, because I felt used. So then he told me that he thinks I'm cute but his ex left him broken hearted. Should I wait until he's over his girlfriend, or is he using me? I really like this guy..
