I am not sure how true it is, but smell is supposedly the strongest memory. The list on top are all strong, memorable items we smell. I guess its more like if you can recall your old favorates smells, then your memory acess is nominal ;P . Think about a womans perfume, being in the outdoors, the smell in the air before its about to rain. Its more about acessing it than what the smells are.

Your best bet is to go thru th CP articles and forums and google. Remember if you get to many results, refine refine refine. Google lets you use up to ten words, use them if you got them. The more specific you are, the less mess you have to muddle thru to find what you are looking for. For example you say you are looking for a zoom functionality, thats not very specific i mean: 1) for what language? 2) to zoom what? (pic, document, charts) 3) will you zoom the whole program, or spawn a small window with the results I mean i could go on, but then i'd get pretty anal. When you answer all these questions don't respond to me, put it all in google. When you put it all in google or msdn, and find wht you are looking for, post so i can vote you a congratulatory 5.

Mike Gaskey wrote: I beg to differ. France, Russia, China and Germany had been pushing and lobbying for years to drop the sanctions. Yeh but you got to figure that with the US wanting war, they would have been able to get tighter sanctions against Iraq. I mean think about it, with over 20 billion in bribes, it did not save himself from being overthrown. Mike Gaskey wrote: This, as well as Iraq, had to be dealt with it was just a matter of which to tackle first. If you pay attention to the news (I am not being sarcastic) you'll note that Europe is unwilling to do anything other than "huff and puff". Iran is going to be left to us (the US) and Israel to deal with, the same as it would have been prior to Iraq. Yeh but i do not think that Iraq was as big of a threat. In fact Chalabi (hope i spelled his name right) had given us nuclear missle plans that Saddam was supposedly using. Intelligence said that the documents looke more "Iranian" in dialect and writing, now look, Iran seems to be the bigger threat. Listen all I am saying is that there could have been a more diplomatic approach, at the very least, a more effective one.

You aske me its a shame that the administration could not just defend their actions rather than throw press members out of the loop altogether. I know that if I were in GWB's position I'd rather present my case and win validation.

Can you eat money, does it protect you, pave your streets, teach your children? Money plays a big part in things these days, but so many are willing to forget the "little people" whose crappy jobs make our lives a little simpler. The rich guy may pay more taxes, but only cause he has more money to pay with, only fair. I mean he does get to buy more, live better, and always has more influence.

Mike Gaskey wrote: To summarize what I believe is being said, the UN is saying that if (for example) we (the US) are threatened or attacked we can't retaliate if the rest of the world agrees that in doing so we jeporadize the well being of the rest of the world. Had the UN already enacted these new ideas, we might have never gone into Iraq, and instead used more stringent sanctions, which inevitably would have lead to finding about the oil for food scandal. With 200 billion more dollars and an "ununsed army", we might be better equip to deal with Iran. We all live on the same rock, shouldn't we try to move in a more unified direction? I mean is there not enough moeny and oportunity to go around? And honestly GWB wouldnt listen to them if his life depended on it, not that they deserve to be heard, but usually a US president would atleast pretend.

left or right this excerpt is pretty sad: Illinois became the first state to jump on board. By near-unanimous votes in 2003, the General Assembly passed the $10 million Illinois Children's Mental Health Act creating a Children's Mental Health Partnership, which is expected to become a model for other states. The partnership's plan, released July 16, calls for periodic social and emotional developmental examinations to be administered to all children, and for all women to be interrogated for depression during pregnancy and up to a year postpartum. When the partnership showcased this plan with five public hearings stacked with bureaucrats and social service workers, a political tempest erupted, with state legislators saying they had no idea this was what they had voted for. Politicians should learn to read what they are voting for, its the least they can do. I have said before that you cannot depend on politicians to read every bill, but they should read a few of them just to honor the paycheck you know.

I've read most of the report, and it says more than that. The report goes to say that many of our policies are anti-muslim, in the eys of muslims (not the report or me). This is also a powerful statement: "Thus the critical problem in American diplomacy directed towards the Muslim World is not one of "dissemination of information", or even one of crafting and delivering the "right" message. Rather, it is a fundamental problem of credibility. Simply, there is none - the United States today is without a working channel to the world of Muslims and of Islam. Inevitably therefore, whatever Americans do and say only serves the party that has both the message and the "loud and clear" channel: the enemy. Arguably the first step toward mitigating and eventually even reversing this situation is to better understand the values and worldview of the target itself." From there on it speaks about ways to do this. That a powerful statement, this means we want to resolve a situation we do not fully even understand. Now i would not be surprised if you could not tell me the difference between a Muslim, a sectarian Muslim, a Kurd or the different tribes and what they represent, but do you think Bush does? I mean how do you get peace, when you do not even know who you are fighting half the time. Look in Iraq, you have kids who think they are defending their homes, you have insurgents trying to fill in the vacuum of power, terrorist trying to make "jihad" with the western devil. Has anyone taken the time to try to distiguish these people and find common ground? This is more than just propaganda, its about relaying a message that better suits all of us. If you can look at this war and say that GWB made a wise well thought out decision, then you are just as lost. I have read post going on about, they want us all dead, maybe they just want to live? Who the hell is "they", or does putting a face, a name, and maybe a soul behind that person make just a little too real. And if anything the propaganda is on full when the Iraqi war comes to play, its so safe that they will run elections in a month, so unsafe Bush did not have make a second thanksgiving visit.

I agree with everything you say. Those who find flaws within our leadership but not within themselves are a major part of the problem. Both sides have this "holier than thou" thing going. One thing the report says that i find highly disturbing is that the US has no channels of communication into the muslim world. How are we going to find the people who are willing to work with us, when we do not even speak to them. This situation is alot more complicated due to the vast "classes and cultural groups" muslim people actually break into. Though the president is not criminal, he dances that line everyday, with little to no reason. Terrorist are now growing stronger, and muslim hatred rising. Info from an ex-cia op says that Osama has been given "religous permission" to use nuclear weapons. Iran has been building their nuclear program thruogh deception. And i do not think that these people think they can beat us, they feel as if they have no choice. Our ideals are not the worlds ideals, and as a "superpower" we must be the first to show kindness. Ill tell you the honest truth, if I were pres I would have taken about 6 months to a year to try every peacful and positive measure to show i want peace. If that does not work, I'd make the middle East "uninhabitable" for the next 1000 years, perhaps then we can be more grown up about it.

not necesarily true, i am still reading the report, i just found it, yesterday was just me and the turkey ;P . From what I have read, the report is not based on arab relations like bbc claims, but does go to speak alot about it. The honest truth is that to think these peopl hate us for "freedom" is an insult to them as it is to us. After so many generations of violence over things as trivial as culture, you'd think we could find more peaceful resolutions. All the war rhetoric and Bush's crap divides people. You are with us or you are not, not a single hint of compromise. Talk like that should be used for those like Osama, but not for every member of his race. [edit] The title of the report is strategic communication. The point of using current events is the fact that many muslims do not think like we do. Therefore what may seem fine to you and me, may not to them. On top of that, many of our polocies make us look like hypocrytes. If we do not understand our enemy, and we do not care for their opinion, and we think everyone who does not agree with us is an enemy, then its not really "delivering democracy" is it.
