The range of quadcopter type drones is very limited, and all we'd have

In all seriousness, that kind of drone could be a deadly weapon for
homegrown local terrorists however.

Religion is so uplifting.

You left out Zionism.

Strange, huh?

Zionism isn't a religion.

Neither is "ISIS, Taliban or Al-Qaida"

Zionism has no requirements that its acolytes adhere to any form of
Judaism. The three groups you mentioned are fundamentalist Muslim
religious organizations, and all three engage in forced adherence to an
interpretation of the Koran and all three pursue forced religious
conversions. There are significant numbers of Jews in Israel and
elsewhere who are revisionist Zionists and have no religious affilition,
other than being born in a family in which the mother was Jewish.

A distinction without a difference

Absurd.

That's an undoubtedly bad reading of U.S. policy.


How do you think that is wrong?
It certainly is not oil.
We would buy the oil from whomever controls the region.


Really? Buy oil from ISIS? You're kidding.

You only have to look at the other places with evil things going where
we have no problem buying oil to see that. Oil companies and dictators
get along just fine.

Without the Israel problem, we would just pull out the military and
let the big dog eat.


How does that address Iran seeking nukes?

This is a good enough policy statement.

"So what are U.S. interests in the Middle East? I'd say the United
States has three strategic interests and two moral interests. The three
strategic interests are 1) keeping oil and gas from the region flowing
to world markets, to keep the global economy humming; 2) minimizing the
danger of anti-American terrorism; and 3) inhibiting the spread of
weapons of mass destruction. The two moral interests are 1) promotion of
human rights and participatory government, and 2) helping ensure
Israel's survival. "

The tough thing with a drone is the control system, not the actual
vehicle. They are very easy to scale up.
Mythbusters has been using RC car controllers on full sized cars and
trucks for years. I don't think it would be that hard to put a drone
control system
The scary thing about these new groups like ISIS is they are not just
goat herders with automatic weapons. They are recruiting college
educated westerners.





Those virgins they are using as bait must be pretty old and wrinkled by
now.

How many Muslims, or even Christians are in any actual position of
authority?
Most can't even vote.

The question was not whether Israel was a religious state. The question
was whether Zionism was a religion. It is not. The distinction is
significant.

Perhaps if you had taken some liberal arts classes sometime in your
life, you would have fewer problems with semantics and etymology.

Translation: Harry has lost the argument and he will now attempt to
save face with liberal farts, semantics and etymology - as if he
invented them.

So what use have you made of your masters degree in etymology.
Obviously, it hasn't helped to pay your bills.
