    They’re each rmuch smaller than a single island would be, & the designers clearly think any loss is outweighed by the advantages.

    Try as I might, I just cant see any advantages…..just my opinion tho…..I’m no engineer

    Man you are completly painting a reality that does not exist.

    Since i have been to both the US and Mexico, i am qualified to express my opinion

    It is true that poor americans have less dificulties than poor Mexicans, but the gap between both levels of poverty is not as you claim, the reason why mexicans go to the US has nothing to do with a better life than in Mexico.

    Mexican shanty towns, are in reality worst than American bad neighborhoods but the difference is not as you portrait

    Examples:

    A poor Mexican in Mexico city can have at least a single meal a day, but the housing will be relatively worst than an american suburb, it might not have running water, potable water and electricity in an average of 15% of all the shanty towns houses.

    The rural poors in Mexico are in worst conditions than the average urban poor, that it is true, in many cases malnutrition will be in the rate of 15% of the rural poor.

    Now if you try to have a middle class living standard you will be surprised to find that a mexican living in Mexico city needs a salary of at least USD $2000 to keep a family of 3-4 members not far from the average American middle low class family

    Housing in Mexico city is as expensive as many of the american cities in fact Mexico city is among the 70 most expensive cities of the world and close to a quarter of Mexico`s population lives there

    While you might think Mexicans live better that is not true, illegal mexicans in the US live in overcrowed houses, hardly can pay small rooms are are unable to rent middle or even low middle class houses with a single salary, many of the apartments they share are infested with coackroaches, roedents and termites.

    The main reason why Mexicans live in the US is to send money back home and at least keep their families in Mexico under the low middle class bracket

    In the US many Mexicans, do not have the universally acknowledged workers rights, relying in far more than 8 hrs of daily work to rent small apartments that usually they share with relatives or friends pooling more than 2 or 3 single salaries to pay for the rent, and even in reality they won`t miss at least three meals a day, they hardly can consider their standards of living middle class and probably they can live in Mexico better if they could earn a salary as they earn in the US, that is the reason Mexicans send Money to live better in Mexico

    Consider that those mexicans suffer persecution just for doing works americans either do not want to do or won`t do for the salary paid, illegal mexicans are not well paid and even persecuted just for working, that is very close to slavery since they are abused, threated and not well paid in fact if you want to see what really mexicans think about that watch the video

    Stationing the armed forces on the borders and invasion are two different things. I recommend you to read a bit of history before continuing with your reasoning. Or do they teach alternative history on US colleges?

    I recommend Israel’s Secret Wars: A History of Israel’s Intelligence Services by Ian Black/Benny Morris.

    You are correct. The Arabs had no intention of invading in 67. You might try actualy studying the history of the region and not following anti-semitic popaganda.

    Little quibble, Jonesy: Israel’s only been invaded with the intent of wiping it off the map once, in 1948. 1973 was an invasion of occupied territories, not Israel, with much more limited aims (the Egyptians didn’t even have a plan for occupying all of Sinai, let alone invading Israel), & in all the other wars Israel did the invading.

    Just like Poland invaded Gemany in 1939. At least the Arabs were good enough to station their armed forces on the boarder so the IDF didnt have to “invade” too far to find them……..

    No, no jihad here whatsoever. By the way do you see it as jihadist to be against needless killing ? This is strange, i thought the point about stopping the taleban and al-kaida was to put an end to it.

    There are people that are in support of stopping them, but on the other hand see that the doings of USA are hardly better.

    I do not hate the americans, in fact i have alot of friends there and have visited USA times in the last 12 months. Not one of them think i am a jihadist, isnt that funny ?

    They like me think that america has degraded into a banana republic. To quote one of them “It isnt that New Orleans is more corrupt than the rest of USA, its just that it’s more in the open down here”

    And by the way, the definition of a banana republic is that it is run by a privileged elite, and the common man has little influence.

    The way major cooperations fund any election in USA, means that that they are all in someones pocket.

    “one dollar one wote”

    I have no objection to fighting radical islam, or stopping Iran from getting nukes. But still the fact remains. USA needs to get its **** together fast if they want any support it this strugle.

    In fact i am a decent person, have no chip on my shoulder, but if the USA want my support they need to get down and smell the dirt.

    Not that i am paticulary important, but my country has a lot of people like me, and for a Norwegian politician to support USA today, is suicide.

    I guess this is allso true for the Danes, Germans, Greeks and the other european countries.

    President Bush has already proven that you need a lot more than stealth bombers to win this war.

    So therefore i hang on to my previous statement: the americans are ignorant and stupid. They need to come around in a totally different way to get support.

    AND DO BELLIEVE IT, If they go about this in the same way they have untill now they will LOOSE.

    And nobody wants that, not even me (the jihadist)
