Subject: How to judge what the best fighter plane is?

I would list the following traits in the order of their importance; 1. Cruising speed under combat conditions. 2. Range/Persistence under combat conditions. 3. Flight qualities, specifically the ability to point the nose at the target easily and a very high rate of roll. 4. CL Guns with high MV/BC and rates of fire. 5. Pitch response, IE the rate at which you can load the plane. 6. Climb at Military Power. In WW-II terms, that means ~75-80% throttle, rich mixture and appropriate pitch on the prop.( A setting that can be held for at least 30 minutes!) 7. Top speed! To escape or run down the target. 8. Lastly the ability to turn in the so called "Dog Fight"! After you rate these choices, I'll mark the list with what I think is the strength of each atribute.

Panama... George Bush the elder. Foolish one. And it has not stopped at all. Haiti now...
It is you who are foolish. To think of disaster relief and peace keeping as imperialism is a very serious failure of the thought processes!
1. Do you personally believe that good men have a duty, no moral obligation to oppose evil?
2. If these were truly "Imperialistic" adventures, where are the many colonial possessions now?
3. Why is not Panama a protectorate now?
4. Why are none of the various places we have intervened, except for Puerto Rico and Guam which we can not seem to get rid of, not now US Possessions?
5. Why did we not keep France and England, to say nothing of Germany, Italy and Japan after WW-II? After all, we "Occupied" all of those places too during and after the War.
So your logic is flawed, or you are just doing this to wing me up? In either case it makes you look so very childish!
But one last thing about all of that, is my deep and everlasting shame that we did not intervene in Africa to stop all of the blood shed there!

Good Neighbor policy in 1934.There are still people alive who miss the American "interventions" and the peace and prosperity they brought at the time!

One who calls himself Shooter, what has clearing the way for China to do with improving the lot of Panama?

45-Shooter    Then you must be a Liberal?   5/8/2013 11:21:38 PM
Because only Liberals can look at reality and fail to perceive it accurately! You see, they have to be blind, or they would be forced to change their entire world view.

Well, I lived it too and when I went to Panama, the locals were sad that we left. The old timers knew the corruption was from locals, not us. Not that we were as pure as the driven snow, but we did much less of it and there was much more prosperity to go around when we ran the place in total.
