Horses have been trained not to spook for thousands of years.
Horses not only can be abandoned, but can also be eaten in times of need.
The land drone has been done too, though this has been criticized by animal rights groups.
No, Iraq is worse off now than it was under Saddam. At least under Saddam there was security, basic services, good access to health care, and one of the best education systems in the middle east.
I'm not glorifying the bastard mind you, there were political kidnappings, executions and torture under Saddam. But this hasn't stopped, far from it, there has been an increase in political and ethnic violence, as well as corruption.
In other words, it's better to live under the rule of a ruthless dictator than it is to be "liberated" by the US.
The police in your example WOULD be held responsible. If a big sporting event is taking place in a city, you would expect the police to increase their presence. Which, in fact, they do.
It's true that the US sometimes gets blamed unjustly, but in this case the blame is squarely on the shoulders of the US military and government.
Iraqis had been living in poverty for over a decade due to the first Gulf war and then UN sanctions. Now, almost overnight, there is no more police, military or government. It's pretty obvious that in this type of situation people are going to loot. The same thing would happen anywhere.
As the occupying power, it is the responsibility of the US for ensuring the security of the people and the infrastructure.
Right, Europeans have never exploited anyone, and certainly haven't built up wealth as a result of exploitation.
One thing I've seen on my bank's login page which I haven't seen anywhere else is that to enter in your passcode (a randomly generated code given by the bank, used in addition to the user password) there is no way to enter in the code with the keyboard. You have to click on a number pad with the mouse, and the position of the numbers will change on each page refresh. This makes it impossible to use keylogging software to steal your security code.
Isn't being curious about the world enough of a reason ? Not everything has to apply to money or immediate use. Frankly, I'm disappointed to see this kind of position on a "geek" website.
Or you steal cars to sell in another country, so affordability can be relevant.
Well they've had a little under 10 years to change some of their tactics. Especially since
When the Red Team sank much of the Blue navy despite the Blue navy’s firing of guns and missiles, it illustrated a cheap way to beat a very expensive fleet. After the Blue force was sunk, the game was ordered to begin again, with the Blue Team eventually declared the victor.
Then we find out if Iran's claims are true.
