Yes, I recall that line of reasoning very well - When Saddam is gone, that is, after bringing democracy to Iraq, the rest of the Middle East will become democratic and peaceful. Iraq was to be a beacon of for freedom and democracy.

He makes a good case for the pardon, but Obama won't give it. Why? Snowden doesn't have enough powerful forces in high places that will push for the pardon. If he has friends like Jonathan Jay Pollard has, chances are he'll g

You must be one of those very "patriotic" Americans. The man sacrificed his freedom so yours may last.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Clinton pardon a guy who ran to another country to avoid prosecution here (USA)?

Imagine how much it's going to save the Chinese to fly in all those raw materials from Africa and South America on an An-225, instead of shipping them.

Thanks for taking the time to read the article.

Practically every single paragraph in that article, including image captions, either infer or directly address the economic reasons for why China would want the An-225 and its technologies.

"Fuel" and "economic" do not have to be used explicitly in the article, or is reading and comprehension a lost art? Take the following paragraph, for example: > For China, the An-225 would open whole new frontiers in

On the Linux side, has anybody looked at what installing Dropbox does? I'm guessing it's not going to be different from what it does on a Mac, but it would be nice to know exactly...

That is exactly why they're justified in seeking a nuclear deterrence. Imagine if Saddam, Assad, and Gaddafi (he stupidly gave whatever he had away to the country that later killed him) all had nukes and the capability to deliver them.

> They cannot be allowed to have a permanent nuclear deterrent. Why not? Your reasoning and posture is precisely why the North Koreans are justified in seeking nuclear weapons. They have a right to it.

The Iraq war was not really one in the true sense. It was just one country beating down on a smaller nation. If they had the means to fight back like the Vietnamese did, it would have been a whole different ball game.

How does this compare to Atom? I'm looking for an editor that does not chew up CPU/RAM like Atom.

That's not a very useful comparison if most of it starts with something like "I never used Quill directly".
