The Harsh Reality of the Middle East Conflict
2008-05-03 11:22:00 by Dan Lieberman A century old conflict between the state of Israel and stateless Palestinians, many of whom have been disposed from lands that created the Israel state, has provoked an argument: Is it preferable to have two states living side by side or have one state from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River that includes Jews and Palestinians without prejudice and with equal rights for all?Those who propose a single-state do so because they sense the two-state solution is nonviable and those who propose two-states do so because they sense the one-state solution is unacceptable. The argument is doomed to irresolution because Israel has overwhelming military power, faces no countervailing power, doesnÂ’t intend for the Palestinians to have a viable state and wonÂ’t approve a single state for all. If Israel intended to allow a viable Palestinian state, would the Israeli government proceed in the continuous construction of West Bank settlements? W...

Intel G45 DX10 to play World in Conflict
2008-04-17 17:47:00 Fudzilla - Intel G45 DX10 to play World in Conflict: "G45 is Intel's new and much faster chipset and we've learned that this one will finally get a DirectX 10 driver. Again, we are about to laugh.Well, let's be serious for a moment,as Intel has reported that DirectX 10 games are running on its current beta DirectX 10 driver and that World in Conflict is currently the best performing game on Eaglelake (G45) desktop and Cantiga GM45 mobile chipsets.Performance enhancements are the second most important thing with this driver, as Intel chases the Vista premium logo and this is its top priority. It is still not clear if Intel can make it, but there is a 'High Confidence of Vista Premium Logo with DX10,“ which clearly indicates that Intel doesn’t know if it can make it.It passes about 94 percent of WHQL, but it need to pass it all. It will be incredibly interesting to see the G45 in action and compare it to some real IGP chipsets with Nvidia and ATI graphics inside."

The Three Trillion Dollar War – The True Costs of the Iraq Conflict - Book
2008-04-15 01:58:00 by Jim Miles Following on their previous pronouncement that war costs could amount to as much as 1 trillion to 2 trillion dollars, ten times more than even then previously thought [1], Stiglitz and Bilmes have furthered their research into the cost of the war with their new title The Three Trillion Dollar War. But it isn’t – three trillion dollars that is. More than likely it will be much higher, as this “realistic-moderate” appraisal is continually described as conservative, with comments about always using the conservative numbers and even discounting certain costs as they could not be properly quantified. The “full tally” indicates “the numbers that we believe (conservatively) best captures the costs of the Iraq venture, even without counting interest – the total for Iraq alone is more then $4 trillion; including Afghanistan, it increases to $5 trillion.” The book itself is generally a dry, well-written explanation of the kinds of costs incurred (death benefits,...

Conflict in Fiction Writing
2008-04-11 16:02:00 Conflict exists everywhere: in a family, in a work place, and among people and groups. Conflict is also at the core of any work of fiction. Without conflict there is no drama. Writers may create as elaborate settings and characters as they possibly can, but if characters find no conflict to work with, the story will not go beyond character portrayals or setting descriptions.For conflict to exist, action is essential. Every action results from another action before it.If conflict is put under a microscope, its basic structure would be like a compound biological cell made up of action and its opposing action. Thinking toward the origin of the action and the origin of the opposing action is important, because this examination results in a strong backstory; however, the writer must remember that going too far back into the origin may bore the reader.Since the opposing action is the instigator of a conflict, the easiest way to create conflict is to think of opposites, especially because ...

Conflict in Basra Tests a Budding Nation
2008-03-26 19:11:00 This may be make or break time for the Maliki government. What is not clear is al Sadr's role in all this. His encouragement of civil disobedience seems milk-toast for the ruthless he is. Has he been bought off my the US to let the Iraqi gov't pacify his restive militia. The US has already paid him $300 million in "reconstruction" funds. That seems like the best explanation to me. He has much to lose holding back his militia now. They will feel abandoned. New York Times A day after launching a huge operation that ignited heavy fighting in two of Iraq?s largest cities, Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki gave the Shiite militias controlling the southern oil city of Basra an ultimatum on Wednesday: lay down their weapons within 72 hours or face more severe consequences. As the fighting in Basra and Baghdad intensified on Wednesday, the American military command, speaking for the first time about the crackdown, characterized it as an Iraqi-led operation in which American-led force...

U.S. death toll in Iraq conflict reaches 4,000
2008-03-24 07:13:00 What a festive headline from msnbc.com for Easter, I was thinking to myself earlier upon first spying it. My primary concern, however, was why the WAR is now being brushed off as merely a conflict.Of course, as anyone with half of a brain is fully aware, this designated casualty rate of 4,000 over the course of 5 years is actually bogus: it merely represents the number of troops actually killed on the ground, whilst those who are airlifted out of Iraq and THEN succumb to their various war-inflicted injuries or complications thereof are not included in the death tally.Festive, eh? I'm so proud of my country for fudging the numbers to "look good"...(not).
