QBe realistic. Please take into consideration the political, economical, and social conerns when answering.

QI am looking for information on historical life in desert oasises, like structure of society, economical conditions, camels, warfare and so on. Any pointers would be appreciated (books, web pages, movies,...). Many thanks in advance!

QI get the strong feeling that most people on here don't understand the circumstances surrounding the first Gulf War. Kuwait took the opportunity after Iraq's 10 year war with Iran to intentionally destroy the Iraq economy by increasing oil supply themselves. It was a blatant attempt to destroy Iraq economically. Therefore, Sadaam Hussein felt his country was under attack with economical warfare, which it was.Hussein informed the U.S. of his possible intent to cross the Kuwait border with his army and wanted to know if the U.S. had an opinion on whether he should do this or not. The U.S. set a diplomat to Sadaam with the message that, "The U.S. does not have an opinion on this matter as it is unrelated to us." This was the go-ahead Sadaam was asking for as a nod that the U.S. would not take this action to be considered harmful to the United States.Sadaam therefore, with the BLESSING of the United States, moved his army over the Kuwait border. Then, George H.W. Bush, U.S. President at the time, collaborated with Saudi Arabia to launch a "defensive" maneuver in order to "protect U.S. interests (Saudi oil fields)." Bush Sr. order American military forces into action to push out the Iraq army, after they told Iraq to invade.Is this terribly surprising as G.H.W. Bush was and is an oil man? He was very good personal friends with the Saudi royal family from his days working with them when he was Director of the C.I.A. And lo and behold, who brings the U.S. back to the Middle East ten years later? That guy's son. My question is, are people on Y!A aware that this is the story of the Gulf War? My assumption is that most people are oblivious to the details I have just provided.I'm not going to provide links as you can easily research this yourself. As an American (if you are one), you should know the history of your country.@ gws35 -- Of course Iraq had chemical weapons at one time (way back in the 80's).. and how do we know this? BECAUSE THE U.S. PROVIDED HIM WITH THOSE WEAPONS. When he was asked to get rid of them, he did.

QWe excel at math, we excel at science, we excel at languages, we give birth to life, without us this world would come to an end, it's just that we have been too soft and too busy taking care of household things and that's why men took over? But now things are changing? And moreover, we are a little more emotional and tend to think from our heart thats why the men take advantage of us? Aren't we really the superior sex? Think about it, we could probably store all the sperms in the sperm banks and still life could go on without men, but life could never go on without US?Moreover, men have been responsible for destroying nature through warfare and technology? But we women are closer to nature and really value it? If men didn't engage in so many wars and give rise to dangerous explosives, create problems between nations and engage in wars, didn't loot other nations then perhaps today we wouldn't be facing the environmental, political and economical problems we're facing today? Considering the fact that men are the majority in these professions.

QI am writing a research paper for my history class on this and I really would like some help.I have my Intro, Economical Reasons, Zimmermann Telegram, Unrestricted Submarine Warfare and my conclusion. It's a five page paper and I don't have nearly enough to fill it up. If there was something else I had to write about SUPPORTING us entering the war I would really appreciate a comment... Thank you so much!

Qwell, i just had to use roughly 300 words scattered into an introduction paragraph 3 supporting paragraphs and a conclusion paragraph. suggestions and criticism are warmly welcomed. The religious Submissive to savageryOne can assuredly assert that the pious are a contribution to the civilization reversion to the type of a primitive one. The horrifying rites of stoning, amputation and summery and blatant mass-executions, Patent fraud and swindling, constant practice of sophistry and lie, made- to-measure for quieting the masses and retaining of the tyrants, only partially describe this blood-thirsty parasite.Religion is in collusion with injustice and oppression. Instead of endorsing collectivism and social equality, inquisition and criticism of the political power, religion exhorts for triviality of this world and gravity of an eternal afterlife and a judgment day, only attainable by unquestionable submission and prostration of man to God ergo the clergy ergo whoever the clergy can influence or is influenced by, levers of economical power and social injustice and political power and freedom-determiners.Religion swindles and defrauds. Multi-billion dollar industry of Vatican church, its extravagant taste, goes without saying. It is an organization of catholic churches and schools and media, dedicated to deceive the poor, desperate, sick and needy whose only resort is heavenly powers. An instance is pope’s multi-annual show. Its turnout, venue and of course revenue soars to heavens, supplying more extravagance for Vatican, more poverty, worldly and spiritually for the innocent deceived.Religion kills. 500 years of crusades in prospect of conquering The Holy Land, proud records of gruesome bloodshed perpetrated by both sides, Christian Nazi world-war-2 wagers, random mass-murder of civilians and religiously brain-washed soldiers amounting to millions, Islamic terrorism which cannot care less about the lives of infants, children and women, combined with fiendishly sophisticated Judaic raids of mere revenge against Palestinian and Lebanese hopeless, slumming, lamentable elderly and kids, leave no blank space for one’s conscience. It is high time for intellectuals, the enlightened and humanists to speak out, to go on the offensive full steam ahead. There is no room left for tacit, ineffectual, prosaic, ambiguous, religion-sympathetic, low-voiced criticism. Religion needs to be consigned to a private delusion now or never. There was a time when only God could have put an end to this world. Now those who entitle themselves as god’s representatives with full-authority would not hesitate to use modern warfare and atomic warheads to inflict our little earth and us, the “sheep”, the trivial with an Armageddon readily to please their morbid illusion.

QI saw on world news tonite that women in China demand - cosmetic surgery, - face skin creams that turn your face "whiter"- surgery that gives them 2-3 more inches by breaking their legs & putting surgical splints in them.Have we won the psychological warfare if not the economical one?

QMost students who graduate from America high school and colleges learn a negative perspective of America social, economical, cultural political model, they assume that America is the worse cultural model , the worst abuser and they are led to assume that alternative models are full of justice, goodness, lack of racism exist , lack imperialism, colonialism , lack exploitation , lack militarism, lack torture, lack sexism, lack homophobia, , intolerance etc. Well, I suggest to anyone to check the worldwide reports of Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, many of them are available free online. Seek by yourselves terms like racism in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, concentration camps , torture in Communist system , sexism and discrimination in Third World societies, legal slavery in Sudan , Mauritania( today !) -worse than South Africa- ethnicity identity and genocide or warfare and violence in Third World be Africa , Asia etc, check mass murder committed by Soviet Union, People Republic of China, Vietnam, Cambodia, discrimination due to religion, sex, gender in Muslim and other Non Western countries.Compare and contrast the information that you have being taught and what is happening in real time worldwide>?Who profits from leaving out from their school lessons , from media reports so much information about life in alternative social political cultural economical systems.And if the rest of the world culture hold a worse record in racism, some still practice slavery, their cultural political economical system is more abusive and more sexists than America why they do not start reforming their flaws and deflect and postponing solving their problems like racism, abuse, torture homegrown pointing the finger to America. while people in their societies keep suffering? And why educators and filmmakers and social justice and community organizer who claim to be in favor of a better of society hold as their role model ruthless abusers mass murders as Mao, people who claim to be feminists never stand up for equality of sexes and end of sex discrimination in which do not allow women in the judiciary, a women is legally consider half worth than man , whose law condemn to death women who choose whom to love by themselves like the Saudi Arabian princess beheaded for such reasons etc.Why educators instead of empower student with the full cup of information let such cup only partial fill? How student will be able to make educated decisions about peace, war, economy, culture , racism in this multicultural society when they lack the power of information ?Withdrawing and withholding information how can empower any person ? how helps , knowledge is power, lack of knowledge is ignorance? or doesn't it?
