The reason for talking about Muslim countries together is that Muslims, by and large, are quite devout and view religion as very important in their lives, to a degree unimaginable by most Westerners. Of course there are exceptions, but our continued military presence on Muslim soil is seen as an...

This is the biggest misconception out there. We have been in their backyard only since after WWII. Were we to leave the entire Muslim world alone, there would be no reason for attacking the United States. Of course, we have been going to war with the muslim world, occupying the muslim world...

Say what you want about Obama's domestic policies, in regards to Afghanistan there's little practical difference between him and Bush. The Neocon foreign policy ideal is that we can go invade countries, topple their governments, the people will be happy about it and start voting for...

What ''real progress'' do you imagine is possible that hasn't been achieved in 10 years? The Neocon dream is that Afghanistan will be a non-islamist democracy friendly to the U.S. But that's just a dream. If we left Afghanistan alone, it would probably revert to an Islamic government that...

The government, which blatantly rigged the last election, by all rights won't be able to stand without constant U.S. support. Karzai has been in power for 8 years. He was the choice of Washington from the get-go, not the choice of Afghanistan. If he can't stand on his own two feet by now, what...

The girl doesn't need to figure anything out. Human evolution has her attraction-circuits figured out already. The person who needs to figure it out is the skinny nerd.

Nearly wiped out. 100% didn't die, ''only'' 95-99% did. All of this happened far after the initial 90% of their population was wiped out due to disease. When Europeans first landed on the shores of North America, they found the whole coastline heavily populated. They could not set up...

We have all seen an overconfident guy get the girl. Some might think ''Where does he get off acting like that? He's not smart, good-looking, rich, or anything, but he acts like he's the boss and the girl just believed him... What the...'' Well, there you go.

Indeed it is terribly frustrating trying to glean truth from the histories written by racist conquerors. What tribe do you belong to? I would love to hear what your oral history tells. I hope you'll care to share.

Is there a map out there showing the oldest evidence of humans in the Americas by region? IE a map that could show when humans first arrived in area X?
