Pompeii - Roman History

The New York Times: Reports " Scientists Hope to Learn How Pompeians Lived, Before the Big Day "

Let's Get Real:

It has been the wish of this blog to visit the Roman city of Pompeii, it has done the subject as part of of its 2nd degree, and in the day could have taken visitors around Pompeii and told them who lived and died in the Houses that make up Pompeii.    The Romans were great builders, but also savage, the violence of their games.    It would be interesting to see how in two thousand years time we are looked upon, with merit or having learned nothing.  Do people ever learn, or just make the same mistakes over and over again.

The Russians taking risks with NATO - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Russia's violation of Turkish airspace over the weekend "does not look like an accident", Nato has said. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians have to be careful, dealing with enemies of Assad is one thing, taking on NATO is something else, as stated in previous post it only takes a  hot shot Russian airman to attack either Turkish or US planes for the Crisis in Syria to get very heated.   The Russians are gambling that Obama is so weak that he will restrain his allies from taking action should Russian planes hit Turkey, as Turkey is part of NATO the whole body might have to act to defend a fellow ally.   Word to the wise, BACK OFF RUSSIA.
