    Have any money to spend on members of the oposite sex, resulting in rewards from the members of the opposite sex, the way god has decreed must be from the beginning of time?

    Hey, at least you'd die skinny!!!! Beside BR, God only decreed the sex thing as good inside the bonds of marriage.... He's kind of down on the sex before mariage thing...

    Leviticus 18:20: Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.

    Deuteronomy 22:22-27 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

    The coolest thing about rape is the woman's revenge. If a guy rapes a woman she's allowed to force him to marry her, and there's nothing he can do to stop it. What's more, he can only get a divorce if she gives it to him, not vice-versa. Be interesting to see who wears the pants in that house...

    the thing is that cost as a one of the most important criteria of the weapon. This are cost of acquiring, cost of running and cost of maintaining.... So you can't put 1000 raptors on the same plate as 1000 A-10s. Otherwise this expercise make no sence at all.

    Another important issue is who would be your potential enemies - if you are China you beter buy Russian staff than become dependent on US supplies. This would make sense for many arab nations as well... - if they go fighting with Israel will US supply them? If they have no plans to fight with Israel then they are no longer limited to Russian weapons. For Australia US weaponry make sense only because there are some synergies in maintaining old systems. There is no point to have Russian and US weapons mixed in one army... you will have a simple problem with standards and supplies. I guess that is what Indians keep on facing with their quite a diverse airforce.

    OK. For a European nation I guess US weapons might be beter choise. You are not going to war anyway and even if you do you go for some mission together with Americans.... For African - Russian old planes would be just fine - cheap, easy to operate, can perform roles you need in Africa...
    What is really exciting is how Russians will be now selling to Latam, Asia and Middle East!!! I am sure the recent mission in Iraq will really help Russian arm sales. Who knows may be some of these states will buy 1,000 Flankers....

    Plus Western Armies operate under a completly different doctrine and Russian equipment could not fit into that doctrine.

    How'bout throwing this in:

    Budget rather than numbers? 1000 kites is all very well. One can have as many toys as required or numbers allow but this is a more challenging numerical boundary. All sources should be at least ball-park. And yes, I know you get bulk discount. Hey, why not say that every billion in bribes etc. gets you 6.5% off planes purchased from any one nation. As many nations as you like, but each bribe only applies to said nation. For example, bribe the US at $2bil. and all costs for US 'planes are 13% cheaper. To begin:

    How about pocket money of, oh, $100 bill.

    I expect to see a few more CIS aircraft ...
