  • Operation Opera

    Operation opera,was the bombing of iraqi nuclear installations,by Israeli fighter jets.
    It was done on the 7th of June 1981.
    Apart from it being right or wrong,it was one of the best planned air attacks in the world.
    I have read stories about it,but never saw a movie on it.Anybody knows about any movie made on this subject?

  • War on terror

    On September 7th, 2003, President Bush announced on national television that he was going to ask the Congress to grant him an additional $87 billion dollars for the fiscal year, beginning October 1, 2004, to continue the fight on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since before then, to the end of September, 2007, the United States has dedicated approximately $315 billion dollars to the cause.

    But these amounts of money are an impossible for anyone to visualize. Let's have a look....

    This is just 87 billion dollars.You can use your imagination to visualize 315 billion dollars.
    This is the amount that only USA is spending on "War on terror"..Other countries are also spending enormous amounts.

    Don't you think something better can be done with all this money? Or the same thing can be done with lesser cost.

    During the cold war,USA had given aid to many countries in Africa and Asia.Many charities and public welfare projects in many poor countries were USA funded.All this led to good impression of USA and the west itself,in the minds of the people there.
    Back then there was almost no terrorism.
    After the cold war,USA and some other rich countries,stopped helping the poor countries,or did it on a far lesser extent.
    Money saved that way,is still being spent..isn't it?
    Yesterday i was reading a news,that NASA will spend 100 billion dollars to develop technologies for sending humans to mars.I will be more glad if some money is spent on discovering our own planet,specially re-discovering the peace on earth.
