Oh wow, can't wait for the hundreds of "funny face paint on McCain" sifts.
You're going to have to -- that project looks pretty difficult to re-implement, and Microsoft Research isn't likely to give out source code or get it into a product quickly.
Truck tries to overtake the train - emphasis on 'tries'
I guess he should have just backed up and broken the gate.
Failing that, he could have just stayed where he was.
Failing that, he could have driven across VERY quickly.
But going by the time code, the train crossed the intersection (and hit the truck) 12 seconds after the second gate was down. That seems kind of short.

Russia might disagree. Consider their treatment of Chechnya just a stones throw away. Chechnya had as reasonable a claim to independence as South Ossetia. At the time Chechnya wanted its independence, many other Caucasian states (such as Georgia) were becoming independent as the USSR fell apart.

>> ^rychan:
The only thing: Al Qaeda will make a bomb whether we take them to 6 party talks or teaty talks or not. Iran, may not.
Cannot compare criminals with nations. If that were true then US, Canada and any other nation worthy of the title would be comparative to criminal.
Scott Ritter seemed to be using Al Qaeda and Iran in the same argument. I don't see why he'd be intentionally vague and use the term "Islamic [nuclear] weapon" instead of "Iranian nuclear weapon".
If he said "If we nuke Iran, they Iran nuke us" his argument would make some sense as far as proportionality, but no sense as far as where they'd be getting their nuclear weapon since our attack was to destroy their nuclear facilities. Maybe it failed. And he thinks Iran will nuke a city in response. Sounds like a terrible thing to do, but OK. His argument is that Iran is reckless and dangerous with nuclear weapons.
If he said "If we nuke Iran, then Al Qaeda will nuke us" his argument is dumb, because like you said, Al Qaeda will do anything to nuke us already.
Republicans and Military Men on John McCain
An Iran with nuclear weapons is as dangerous as an America with nuclear weapons. But if we attack them, they will retaliate. And they will have every right to do so, because we attacked first. And it doesn't matter if we bomb them with our own nuclear weapons or if we merely bomb one of their buildings with a simple missile. An attack is an attack--they care not for the severity.
So you're saying that if Iran has nuclear weapons, they will use them in response to ANY attack without considering proportionality of response? The first time they're attacked it's a million civilians dead?
How can you allow such a nation to have nuclear weapons?
