"He risked going back Wednesday to bring back a sack of sweet potatoes and illegal charcoal he hoped to sell in Kibati for $10."
would someone care to explain what exactly illegal charcoal is?! and how is it different from legal charcoal, if there is such a thing. i'll try googling charcoal law and see but... if I'm not too off the topic that is... :)

who is eligible really? everybody over 20? even 90 smth ojiisan?
i would personally hate having to bear such heavy responsibility as to decide about someone's whole life with just a few brief statements presented upon us (with purpose) as a standard on which to form our opinion but that's just me... (by plural i meant to infer all members of the jury, and few brief statements mean the whole trial, nothing compared to the time it really takes one to know someone and judge them properly)

it all comes down to this: does a sovereign country have the right the deploy troops etc. within it's own borders in response to military movements and deployment from other countries around it? it's clear who's breaking the status quo and who's responsibility it would be should things escalate from here.
also, remember constant disregard by the us for russian (then ussr) unilateral cuts in weapons and armament, especially nuclear, all the way from the 70is onwards. so this is not really a matter of one single issue here. for those who forget... to me at least, it's clear which side is aggressive and always pushing further and further and which just acts when forced to. but that's just the way bholder beholds

also, note that the russian missiles the article talks about are actually on russian soil, while us goes thousands of miles away from its territory to erect the system. so us should be allowed to do anything anywhere on planet and no one can even protest, let alone just say that they might try to do something in response? note, in response, as in being forced into reaction by us actions first. bholder beholds blatant double standards... wish it was only bholder but...

so how about letting russians install defensive systems only in some country close to us mainland? if us let them do that they might as well stop fussing about poland and win-win for all... the facts are that us is taking aggressive approach to foreign policy, much more so than any other country, and then feigns surprise at the lack of "democraticity" when other follow suite. good ole do as i say not as i do

imagine if russians employed missiles on cuba and then exclaim that hopefully one day americans will realize that it isn't really against then, it's aimed at i don't know, columbia? honduras? how democratic the us response would be do u think?
