"I thought the Belgies imported their beer from Dutchieland, no?"
Its the other way around. Belgian is known for the best beers in the world and the lack of (good) government. (although the dutchies sure do their part when it comes to the latter and export a lot of lager beer as well)

"hmm does he support their use in EUrope?"
Define "use". But I think the Belgian gov secretly made a pact idd.

To make things clear here, I'm not against a lower total of nuclear arms worldwide, but I do see the need for nuclear deterrence still. The cold war isn't over and nobody knows what future Russia will do.

But its ridiculous to deny their existence if obviously they are there. Politicians should have the balls to explain why and make the debate public. The first time Russia threatens to shut down the gaspipe again, public will vote the missiles back in.

"His control over his people will rely upon him making their lives better"
you mean like the great leader of prosperous and happy North Korea kind of thing?

But I don't think he'll survive to be honest. I was reacting to Zarfs hypothesis.

lol

@xeno:
reminds me you never replied to my last post in the alphabet topic.

"That is the best justification ever for an ignore!"
+1, lol

"lol its not about Syria, its about Hungary, didnt you read?"
should you even ask?

they needed some fresh air. Its not going to be easy lunch for the new gov, problems left by previous gov are huge.

same for me. There's just 2 Pauls in dune (little and when he becomes hero-like). Great books still.

"They don't care about it."
They hope it will settle itself. I think the biggest portion of deaths is amongst the refugees (disease, hunger, lack of medication...) so no stats about casualties of war and coverage in the news is low. If 97% has left the country, no big mass civilian casualties will occur anymore in Syria.

lol

"Well a number of people thought we could have won an atomic war in 1956, but I'm not sure that would have helped Hungary."
They would never have gone so far as to use nuclear because the country was already neutral and they knew they would loose. But in any case I wasn't judging Ike, just showing the cold war isn't over.
