The Ayatollahs are the government in Iran, Aziz?

Wars are necessary in some cases. On the other hand there is a lot of generous charitable work going on where western countries help to improve health, living conditions and security in the third world. In most cases, the USA pays the largest share to provide such aid. Easy to overlook when all you want to do is find fault.

In case you need a reminder, Aziz.

Read what I said above, no need to repeat. Yes I paint you people all with the same brush, like it or not.

Democracy will only work when people are willing to cooperate. No cooperation? Our real enemies (NK) are busy preparing to deliver their nuclear weapons upon us. Meanwhile we are paralyzed by vicious political infighting over unimportant things, and are putting ourselves at risk. Our enemies are happy about this. The only way to get things done in such an environment is - Dictatorship.

I'm not going to answer you, because it is irrelevant. Whether I deny it or not, additional explosives were not necessary. F = M x A

Are you a spam bot now? What if I said yes or no. Go ahead, make my day.

That is irrelevant. I deny that Alex Jones is a credible scientist.

We scientists invent all sorts of fantastic things. But it wasn't needed to take down the towers as already demonstrated, not-so-hot-fella.

I like to relax after a hard day's work at the research lab, and get a rise out of vexing leftist intellectual lightweights such as yourself.

Rather than discuss their position, leftists consistently attempt to twist the meaning of someone's words to mean something they never intended to be. That's not debate.

You called for nuclear weapons to be used on us, and stated if it happens you would approve of it. That's actually grotesque. You need to calm down and clear your head.

They are the tyrannical leaders of the Shiites, and they condemn men to death just for having thoughts, ideas, or writing books. Muslim religious leaders condemn people to death all the time for what we in the west consider to be nothing at all. Like the person in Pakistan who has been sentenced to death for a facebook post. I could include other types of Muslims, what difference does it make? You know exactly what I mean, Habib.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Peace has to be fought for because the world is full of those who want to take it away. Democracy is created through war, as old power structures will not acquiesce without a fight. I know it's not nice but it's just the way it is.

You don't understand human nature. You can't have democracy when people are unwilling to cooperate. These savages have had nothing but feuds for centuries, they aren't going to live peacefully unless they are forced to do so. Look at countries like Iraq. Only a dictator can keep the peace there, with an iron fist. I guess you have no problem seeing nuclear weapons used against us. Your solution to world problems- kill em all.

Moderate dictatorships are fine, given they cannot understand how to live in peace even among themselves. Tell you what- When those "other people on this planet" start applying the strong principled approach that you seek, we'll talk. But they won't do that, because they are too busy killing themselves even more than we kill them. Why is that you ask? Their feudal wars have lasted centuries, and are become part of their culture. They will never let that conflict go any more than they would let you go, unless the cultural memory is erased. I recommend you do not go there seeking to make some kind of atonement for western sins. You will be simultaneously disemboweled and beheaded while their women and children cheer.

Us and our allies created the bastion of freedom that lets even the most vile scum criticize it. Try that in your native Islamabad.

Because I know we could write 1000 pages and never come to an agreement or conclusion. And if we did, either way, there's not a damned thing anyone could do about it. The world is a rotten place... elsewhere. I can live with that.

What would you have a person like me do, go to the WTC and demand them to show me forensic samples? Rational technical arguments are evidence enough.

It is thermal analysis. It's not necessary to do actual calculations, when the methodology is exposed as fundamentally flawed. They divided the total energy by the total mass of steel on the floor, as though the energy were dispersed equally. That's a logical fallacy. That's why the temperature you quoted is so low. In thermal engineering, temperature rise is based on power density, where power is energy x time. 1watt is 1 joule per second. Power density means, the power delivered into a given volume of material. Temperature rise is given by the thermal conductivity of the material expressed in watts per meter-kelvin. I don't need to look this up, it is very familiar to me. The fact that you thinkI or others here are inferior to your intellect is testimony to your own arrogance.

What a revisionist view of history. ISIS was a product of the Obama administration, though t evolved from some other islamic terror group that was in Iraq before. There's all sorts of terrorists groups in the middle east, have been for a long time. Everyone there belongs to one group or another. Terrorism is just part and parcel of the region, and religion.

You are not here to discuss science at all. You had your chance to show your stuff. But if anyone tries to give you an answer, you can't discuss it. Just another troll trying to get a rise out of people. You have no shame.

I took the time to read your link and gave an intelligent response to your copy/paste arguments, which I knew you yourself do not even understand. What I said eviscerates all the BS you've spouted, and it took me only 3 minutes to read your link and show that it just doesn't add up. But all you have in response is... nothing. You had the chance to have a scientific discussion with me on this one and chose not to. Instead you chose to just make another childish insult about my level of knowledge. Now you know why no one cares to seriously engage you in "the science of 911".

Someone with principles, yes. And the strength... THE STRENGTH... to do what needs to be done.
