That was in the middle of the British finding out the hard way that they weren't a colonial power anymore. Zionist were as much superstars or warrior poets as terrorists to the population, and apart from a few spectacular departures, such as the bombing of the King David hotel, they targeted military. Nevertheless they are typically quoted as an example of a successful terrorist campaign. Not surprisingly the other success in that region is the PLO. They called attention to themselves with high profile attacks with world wide media attention. They didn't 'win' as much as stake their claim for statehood. Without action Arafat would have been unlikely to have spoken at the UN and travel around the world as a dignitary. A really bad lesson for that region, that sometimes terror works.

A psu is fun ?

I don't think you understand the nature of middle east political rhetoric. This is grandstanding, not a homicidal maniac bent on self destruction. If Iran got the bomb, all the players would be more likely to take it to that extreme, not just Iran, and on the other hand, maybe a dose of cold war is exactly what the region needs. Not worth the risk of course, but as long as were playing 'what if' it would be interesting to see what would happen to the if Israel and the US were forced to take an Islamic nation seriously.

Am I the only one who doesn't care who the final cylon is anymore, I mean it seems inconsequential, everybody and their grandmother is a cylon.

I think the strike might have been a good turn as regards getting rid of dead tissue. I could care less about the 'truth of the opera house'. I hope they spring something new on us in the final 'season'. Although they are on earth and theres probably an opera house there somewheres.

I dunno, I kinda suspect that to even get as far as a nomination you have to be a phony. I don't think either could possibly do as poorly as Bush though.

The story is a real mess, but at least it's mostly free of the prophecy shtick now. Whats left is revealing who sent Kara back, I think the last episodes will revolve around this third force, no way it's 'God'. I think there will be a surviving human colony somewhere as well, just not so huge that it throws the power balance in favor of the fleet.

I guess the Spanish deserved to win, defensive football rubs me the wrong way and the swedes were afraid to take chances.

Who are you talking about anyway? Snot boogie, they killed snot boogie man.

They are the favorites now, but anything can happen in the KO phase.

A terrorist campaign can only succeed in making the current power structure look ineffective and weak. It's a PR game basically. The theory then suggests that the population are so repulsed by draconian counter terrorism measures that they eventually side with the terrorists against the goverment. This has never actually happened. The problem here is that you can get used to anything, even terror bombs. A guerrilla campaign on the other hand can win simply by outlasting and surviving until all the pieces fall into place and it is in a position to capitalize. Castro fought the greater part of his campaign with a few hundred men.

hahhahaaha... woot. Holland again.

no, i'm not. not at all. you just don't get it - all forms of socialism are tyrannical, the only difference between socialism and communism is that communism lies to you by stating that some day you won't need the oppressive government, i.e., communism's stated goal is utopia. taks Calling an elected form of government in an informed democracy 'tyrannical' is opinion, not fact.

The Irish no forces the EU to move ahead slowly and democratically, this is preferable I think. Merely having the parliaments ratify the treaty can't be considered democratic, politicians aren't exactly an accurate sample of the population.

By the way Taks is mistaking Socialism for Communism this time. Some one has to, it's tradition after all.

The bureaucracy is for making money, don't kid yourselves. Integrated markets and legislation. Theres no way on earth the EU is ending up a planned economy.

Armed forces the world across tremble at the mere thought of a citizen militia

I think it's more that a ludicrously sized gun paints a better caricature of the 'enthusiast' who has enough firepower to overthrow a small African nation.

Because it's the biggest gun out there, why else.

Orb and Hegemonia looked good and played horribly by the way.

I have Sins, I tried playing a tutorial and lost interest almost immediately. On top of that its been 3 weeks of my account web page saying i'm good to go, and the game saying that my account doesn't exist. I never heard of Jupiter, I don't suppose theres a demo.

I mostly want to see Homeworld 3 because theres no other game in town. Honestly, early disruption is a key part of any RTS. Frigs are useless unless they are massed and hit before the most heavy stuff arrives, and a frig rush is hard, except maybe a vagyr one. Recalling wings only works if you are winning, otherwise it just speeds your demise. I don't mind either of these things. It's still very satisfying to blow the other guy's shipyard before he can get anything out of his massive investment. If anything the super heavy ship classes come too soon in HW2. Is it as good as Homeworld, no way, but like I said theres no other game in town.

You would only need to have NWN2 to play any adon, surely. The OC was miles behind Mask of The Betrayer, which felt a lot more like a complete game. Odd that, but it's worth getting just for Mask. Assuming it's somewhat cheaper now.

I didn't think HW2 was so terrible. I played it loads online. I dunno about the single player, that never interested me.
