That'll last until the President flies to Pakistan on a good will visit and All India Radio announces " Kashmir Hamara hai Pakistan ko gaya".

How old are you, kid :-) (Or maybe I am just old) It should not sound like a Chronic disease if you grew up in India - it'll sound like a Chronic pain in the leg. Rajdoot was the name of my first motorcycle (OK, probably my second, but I filched it from my uncle). They stopped production in...

What's amazing is the exact same ideas spreading and developing from Islam into the Knights who were fighting them . The holy books of Islam had banned interest payments, but they had pretty amazing "project finance". They had Wadiah (deposits), Sukuks (bonds now, but almost like Project based...

Absolutely. You have a right to call yourselves whatever you want as long as it is not trademarked. Actually, you'd still have a right to call yourself that even if it was trademarked, but just not in commercial speech or in misleading terms. The only problem is that so does every other group...

The improvement here is that they will now make less money from poor countries :-) Basically any country can build an aircraft like this. It is a trusty old turboprop used for agriculture. The advantage (probably) of buying one from France is that it has a reliable history, the parts are...

Chinese number their generations differently. They count the generations from the first aircraft they made. By western standards it is probably Gen 4 or 4.5 (depending on the stealth capabilities). US and Russia are on the same numbering standard and if LCA ever flies, that'll jump on to Gen...

More like Taliban or LeT killer. Seems like they are meant for counterinsurgency ops. Wonder how easy it is for the stinger heat-seekers to track a single turbine engine.

Thanks. Here is another article with a pic. http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/06/15/327861/paris-air-show-cropduster-turned-gunship-makes-le-bourget.html

Low-Cost Warplanes Draw Attention - WSJ.com Air Tractor hopes reconfigured planes a hit at Paris air show : Local : Times Record News PARIS -- Some of the warplanes drawing the most attention at this year's Paris Air Show are some of the slowest. Aerospace and defense companies are...

What I am saying is that they have as much right to the name as you have. .You don't have a trademark on that name in France, do you ? And the Continental/American divide - Freemasons were started on the continent, so were the knights. I would say they have more right to the name than you do...

Bull. Maybe not in your particular club. Welcome on the website of the Grand Orient de France ! Grand Orient de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hashishins were a sect of Muslims (currently Ismayelis) who fought battles. They were rumoured to go into battles under influence of Hashish (a narcotic). That is where the name Assassin comes from - because they made political assassinations a powerful tool of influence. The original sect is...

I have nothing against all of this. You can run hospitals, charities etc. What I am specifically against is calling yourselves Knights Templar. My interest in Knights Templar is due to their banking - it was a big step in European banking to be able to transfer money through time (interests...

WTF, wtf, wtf... it's like an echo chamber in here :-) I have nothing against cool names for clubs. I hate it when someone picks up a historically important one and then ends up acting all too cool.I find it childish. http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2009/04/28/ My point was that just...

This story has to be partially wrong. If Kayani flew the F-16 and Air Chief marhal accompanied him, that would be a pretty daft move. You don't wont to put heads of Army and Air force in one plane. Another thing is that it is the Air Chief Marshal flew Mirages (PAF Falcons - PAF s' Chief of the...

US press has always been biased towards people that are more "similar" to them. It is easier for them to write stories about countries shifting to capitalism, who are pro-liberty etc. I don't think it is a govt. induced bias, except for the case in Iraq with embedded reporters and white house...

There are both sides of the debate on the press. But the election results story does not have pictures, while the riot stories have. Guess which one will appear on the front pages ? At least for the newspapers, bad news is good business. Nevertheless here are some stories on the election...

As I see it, Netanyahu started on the center right (He had to, coming from the Army). Then the extreme right started settling more and more into Palestinian territories, playing a game of brinkmanship both in Israel and on the larger world stage. Netanyahu at some point did clear some of them...

I must applaud your post. It's the first time I have heard someone speak up for someone holding an opposing view and ask the other persons account to be unbanned so that a debate could go on. BTW, I also liked your post #28. I am not convinced that the system you talk about will ever work in...
