75. You must be joking
The "stand your ground" laws are in response to a "forcible felony" such as a home invasion, robbery, etc. How the hell does that relate to someone being "in your face"?

There was no UN resolution establishing no-fly zones. That was our little fabrication:

"While the enforcing powers had cited United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 as authorising the operations, the resolution contains no such authorisation. The Secretary-General of the UN at the time the resolution was passed, Boutros Boutros-Ghali called the no-fly zones "illegal" in a later interview with John Pilger"

One more little bit of history trivia: the Soviets did not "pull-out" of Afghanistan, they got their asses kicked out of Afghanistan, the same way we will get our asses kicked out of Iraq. Funny how personally people take it when you invade their country. How would you feel if North Korea invaded the US? Hmm?
