...well?br Yes there is that too. There are a number of differences of opinion in Iran. Iran is a very old country; it's not a recently manufactured state. Iran is a country that goes back not just centuries but millennia. In Iran you have patriotism that's distinct from nationalism, which is what you find in most of the rest of the Muslim world. This sense of Iranian identity is very strong and very deep-rooted, and in opposing this we have to be careful not to give the present rulers of Iran a gift of something that...
...head the Air Force in a generation (he is a pilot, but primarily of special-operations aircraft). To meet the soaring demand for drone operators, he says fledgling pilots will be used. But the service soon will "develop an unmanned aircraft systems operator career field with specialized training potentially distinct from current manned pilot training," he said. That will come as a relief to many young pilots who have feared having their flying careers crimped by being ordered to fly drones from Nevada's Creech Air Force Base.

The impasse has brought parts of the country to a halt. PAD mobs forced three airports in key tourist areas to shutter, and strikes...
...Youth Competition, a nursery for the NRL. "Me and Willie were always stronger than the other kids," says Penese, who'd scatter opponents with a cattle-prod-like fend. Both say they were targeted by referees and implored by parents to take it easy. Isa contends there are two distinct sides of him: the aggressive, ultra-competitive footballer and the otherwise gentle man. Young Willie would crunch his fine-boned foes, then approach them after the game to say sorry. But the smaller boys had trouble reconciling the two Willies and rarely replied. "It's a Polynesian thing," says...
