i have more than you

For those of you who don't already know, hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water. The electricity needed for this can be generated by any number of means, from fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal to solar wind farms, etc. It would be great if fuel cells could use natural gas directly because it is more readily available. At one time the focus was on onboard reformer system to convert natural gas or methanol into hydrogen and CO2, but it now appears that the plan is to store compressed hydrogen produced in large stationary plants. As the lightest gas, it is one of the hardest to store because of the pratical impossibility of liquifying it as they do on the Space Shuttle. Instead it will be stored as a compressed gas at high pressures. There is potential danger in that. you mean like the potential danger of gasoline and match?

I don't think that's what's at issue here. We are always pushing WD on nations, not withholding it. If a nation takes WD on their own willingly and runs with it, and then ends up reverting to religious rule, then that's their democratically chosen choice. That's different than the US going in there and instituting a new and unfamiliar form of government. We don't win any friends that way when our form of government eventually becomes unpopular. We can pick this up tomorrow. I gotta git to my CWMR meeting. its all whatever to me, i just like arguing.... name one 3rd world country where we have successfully imposed democracy, or actually backed up our talk of wd??

there is no more flood control

Yeah - all true of course. It's just that of the two guys that post here with names that sound like J...B.... when spoken aloud, its a bit less likely that j_b would be part of the GregW fan club and an occaisional climbing partner. Not impossible, but certainly not as probable I believe you - but how do I know the person that I met last night was really allison and not alicesin or allisten or al_is_zen or some other sound alike.... maybe it was AMBER you met

If "the majority likes it that way" isnt that then democratic expression??? Lets not forget Algeria voted in fundamentalists. Military said no and imposed martial law with backing of French and Americans. Leading to current civil war and massacres. Or military coup in Pakistan... How come democracy works in India but not Africa? Its more like " We western powers cannot let Arabic nations have democracy, because every time they get it, they vote in Islamic rule (...or Benazir Bhutto), which is not in our interest".
-
i dont think it has anything to do with colonialism... it has to do with not having a democratic tradition... whether you are ruled by a emir or a tribal chief is not much different... the political boundaries of the Arabian peninsula are not natural anyhow any more than Africa's are... Russia had no tradition of western democracy. they had a Duma for like 3 years before the Revolution. Yet Russian democracy is working OK today... rampant corruption and political conniving just like chicago in the 30's or Florida in the last election If you read "Guns Germs and Steel" (not that I agree fully with it's arguments) you will find some interesting arguments that are not racially stated, unlike "Arabs cannot handle western democracy". Cause the Arabs in the Western nations seem to be doing OK. Which I believe may make you wantto reword your original sentence.

Think of the lost buildering (statuing) potential.

Shit I knew the Army was hard up cause they spent all the money on cruise missiles But its really humiliating that they have to use Macs. Gates must not have bribed the right General to get the contract for mil spec laptops.

Now if you were talking Africa would you say "it is not in the black mindset to accept western democracy" ????

probably a third of the kids I went to school with fled Iran either when the Shah was in the late stages of his reign, or when the ayatollahs took over. both regimes sucked bag to hear them tell it. the shah's "modernizations" were like the Saudi "modernizations" and look how popular USA is there now...
-
The Shah was a nutbar with his own torture squads etc. Why do you think they had a revolution anyways? Of course they went from bad to worse...just like the Russians, off the Czar, end up with Stalin, some change! Or get Gorby to dissolve the USSR and you end up with drunk criminal, Yeltsin.
