I have an ammo pouch with some names on it that came from Yugoslavia. I want to attempt to contact some of the names on the pouch. The first person on my list is a Major Novi Pazar. I think he was serving during May 1987 and possibly a few years surrounding it. In front of his name and rank is the number 104, I am not sure if this is a company number or what. Anyone who knows how to get Yugoslavian military records or knows this guy, I would greatly apprecaite your assistance, Thanks a lot.

Throughout military history, there have always been weapons, theories, and strategies that prove decisive to victory. I was wondering how many weapons or tactics have been invented with the idea that the weapon is so horrible, that it'll never be used and war would be history.

A few do come to mind...the gatling gun, and the atomic bomb. The gatling gun for it's time was considered so awesome that it would never be used.....

What other weapons besides the gatling gun and atomic bomb were invented with the notion that they may never be used?

He says we cannot sustain a surge past next spring, and will have to start drawing down troops. Do you believe him? If so, is this a 'timeline'? One based on our capacity, instead of Iraqi benchmarks? Has this been a good strategy? And remember, if we know we cannot sustain, the terrorists will know this is well..except this time they will know we are leaving because we are tapped out, and not because the Iraqi gov't failed to reach benchmarks...what will be the implications?

so back in the ancient times people worshipped zeus and other gods. and now we look back at their attempts of explaining the world and we laugh and say that our way to worship a god is the right way. so how long will it be before a society looks back at our historical record and dismisses our beliefs as mythology

of old world.

and since God is only ONE then
YI could be seen as IV I .(sealed together)
UNE could be seen as U IV I .= _ (sealed together)

thus the rumour God is not of this world started.
but idiots of history didn't even know the new world existed back in the time when they were debating who god was. (Council of Nicea)

by the way i seem to fit both description of the coast to coast god.

other things i noticed about the bible, english translations:

and should America accept Me as their God, they can truly say "they are one nation under God" this is contingent on then accepting north as up on a map.

or is this really a funny thing that happened on the way to the forum? or octagon in My case.

What happened to the universal teaching of loving our neighbors?

This was the first thought striking to my head while watching the two video footages below.

As I was witnessing the stylized murdering of two tribes of the human kind, I realized nothing but a sad destiny of the humans that are to kill their neighbors.

As the sun had rose and downed yesterday, it will rise again tomorrow.
The killing had happened yesterday, and it will happen again tomorrow.

Can we all just meet each other face to face, and say, “stop!” at one point? I am afraid not, and this is what makes me feel dark.

The two video footages I am about to show will bring you to the view point of the each sides- one from the insurgents’ side, and the other from the American side.

Those videos sensitively cry out to us how humans can be cold to each other.

The footages have some violent war images, and I recommend only to the mature viewers.

I would like to hear you comment. Please leave any messages, and feel free to open up any kind of discussions.

Thank you for reading.

Here is the first video;

I recently found out my ex husband to be forged my signature to open a new checking account by using an existing joint stock account which had money. He had withdrew money from the account without my knowledge or consent. What would be the best course of action for me? I froze the account once I became aware.

I hope I'm posting this question in the right place.
A new outdoor playground was just installed at a school in our neighborhood. It is on school property next to a field which includes a baseball diamond, basketball court and tennis court. But the placement of the playground structures make it obviously part of the school rather than the park. Will I be able to bring my 3 year old to play there outside of school hours? Since it is school property will I be trespassing if I bring him there on the weekend or after school gets out?

I like the Libertarian theory of true freedom ( do whatever you want as long as it doesn't negatively effect someone else), however, I struggle to grasp how they believe that privatising everthing would be a good thing. What is their explanation? I mean we currently have issues with the monopolization of industry and services. Maybe a laissez-faire economy would grow more quickly but this doesn't automatically mean that the benifits of economic growth will be fairly passed down to people of lesser means. In fact our current market system with median of government regulation isn't protecting people from the greed of corporations. Why and how could you put all of your trust in business owners and coorporations. If Wal-Mart was the only joint in town, the prices would not be so low. They would charge as much as they could without causing riots.

Seems more and more like only those of privilege or money are the ones that become president. Does the Average Joe, growing up in a low or middle class family, really have a chance to become president?

When you are trying to debate a subject that is important. Is it this format here in YA that makes you want to take something important and just bash it to the ground ignoring it's significance and misleading others?

When your very government allows corporations to brainwash and manipulate you into thinking you need to have gas guzzling SUVS then forces the cost of fuel up, I mean we can debate healthcare/politics etc., the point is there are problems & the TIME HAS COME FOR CHANGE. What good do all the FEET DRAGGERS do when all they do is stand in the way of progress instead of help to find a SOLUTION?

Was it John Lennon who said (I know he said in a song and this is my philosophy in life too) THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PROBLEMS....ONLY SOLUTIONS.

Why can't people work towards solutions...they fight for ridiculous things yet not fundamental needs.

We have to move forward in this world, cant stand still forever and ignore the fact that universal changes are needed.

Well, I just received an official invitation to take the Foreign Service Officer exam (US embassy). Now I need to start reviewing!

I would appreciate any suggestions for textbooks and websites I can use for review.

I already went over the Practice exam I ordered through the State Dept.

These are the areas I need to study:


1. Ammendments, Bills, the constitution, and major historical achievements in US history (an overview)

2. US government structure; its components, their
functions..etc. The basics.

3. Foreign Policy: Major historical events and achievements.
Also, a general overview.

So if you happen to know any great comprehensive sites or books I would appreciate it.

I would also appreciate any insight to preparing for the exam for those of you who have experience with it.


Thanks.

A massively empowered Iran with control over the oil fields in the south of Iraq is one of the BEST case scenarios.

A massive Sunni/Shi'ite civil war ACROSS THE REGION, oil prices throught the roof and terrorists being bred by the thousand in a failed state is also very possible.

Fleiss described herself as a "tree-hugger" who is generally liberal but favors the death penalty. She said her business, "Dirty Laundry," is thriving -- "I just had to buy another super-size washing machine" -- and she also wants to develop wind turbines on some land she owns. The day after the Clinton visit, she attended a forum on energy in Pahrump hosted by Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Fleiss is not the first sex-industry veteran to endorse Clinton. The campaign has the official backing of porn star Jenna Jameson.
