what is now the latest news about miss venezuela 1993 minorka mercado?




Felmar Cas


i have not heard of any news about her after she competed in miss universe 1994 in manila.


Answer
Unfortunately that happens a lot.

The only information i could find about her is that after winning Miss Venezuela 1993 she went to Reinado Internacional del Café in 1994 where she was a finalist. She married Peangelo Miranda and has a daughter. She also had a short career in television.

Is there a possibility of the united states going to war with Venezuela?




George


I heard on the news a few years ago that some how the war in the middle east would eventually lead to a war with Venezuela. Why would this happen and is there still a decent possibility of that happening


Answer
That is very unlikely. I assume that rumor relates to a need for petroleum. I understand Venezuela is a major source for the US. I assume again the concern is if the US is somehow shut off from Middle Eastern oil it would rely mostly on Venezuela. Venezuela, as a normal in the world haggling culture (that's another assumption of mine), would be likely to raise prices dramatically to take advantage of the situation.

The US was initially established as British colonies by ultra-Protestant cultures about four hundred years ago. They were refugees from British and European normal Protestant and Catholic societies. The ultra-Protestants (English Puritan Anglicans and Quakers, Dutch Reformed, German Mennonites, and French Huguenots) were very different cultures from the rest of the world. They came to North America to establish community oriented socialistic, and some even communist, communities far from the influence of the normal family oriented and ruled cultures in most of the world. Those unusual ultra-Protestant cultures established fixed wages and prices assumed to be fair by employees and employers and by customers and merchants.

Unfortunately for them the overpopulating rest of the world began swarming in on them beginning between a century and two later mostly with my Irish and German relatives. Each wave of new immigrants flooding into North America from other parts of Europe were more family oriented and less community oriented than the prior ones. The ones coming today still are. The new ones ever more change the community orientation here toward the more normal for the world family orientation.

Bad for us but good for Venezuela is our growing acceptance of the normal world's haggling processes. We are less likely now to conquer Venezuela, and other oil producers, when they start zooming their prices for oil If the Middle East shuts down a lot of its oil production.

If the Middle East oil shuts off, so long as Venezuela doesn't raise its prices to outrageously unacceptable ones it probably has no worry about invasion. If it does raise them that high dig holes for bomb shelters. We will be there with carriers followed by oil tankers.

Such things are exactly what started terrible wars in the 20th and latter 19th centuries including both world wars. Land and resources are always the reason for wars of conquest by expanding populations and always have been. The people in the US and most other Euro-cultures stopped overpopulating a half century ago and prospered because they did but the rest of the world continued spewing babies at unsustainable rates.

Those overpopulating cultures, beginning with my Irish and German relatives, are the ones that have been flooding into the Americas including to a lesser extent South America. Because they continue to expand world populations most of us must continue wars of conquest to accommodate the continued growth of human population. I don't feel sorry for Venezuela if it is invaded because it is one of the overpopulating societies helping cause the problem.

PS: You like most of us in the past probably were indoctrinated by socialist idealists into believing the ridiculous fairy tale, but nice to believe: "we should all get along and share." I don't deny how nice that sounds but it has no relationship to the reality of life on earth with expanding human populations. If the world reduces its population down to below two billion, or better yet below a billion, that world could be possible. So long as it continues expanding its population don't even bother with that delusional dream.

Blackwater saves the day?

Q. just found this on the web.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071003/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

Why is it that I have not seen the news chanels leading with this story? Maybe becuase it isnt something that is bad. Is this just more proof that the news reports what they want instead of what is important?


Answer
I have an idea.

Let's use the combined ambition, intelligence, and investigative skills of our best Yahoo! Answers contacts in the Politics section to compile a list every six months of important stories the Liberal media has purposely ignored. Instead of just complaining about how biased the media is, we can have solid proof and maybe start a backlash against the media until it is more balanced and responsible.

What about the latest story that the two Koreas are working to establish a formal peace in lieu of the nearly 50 year old "armistice".

The article says: "Leaders of the two Koreas agreed on Thursday to try to bring peace to the Cold War's last frontier, just a day after the North signed up to an international deal to disable its nuclear facilities."

How about the press giving at least a little credit to Bush, who steadfastly refused to give into bilateral talks the North Koreans needed evade continued pressure from China and Japan? How about giving Bush credit for finally forcing Korea to dismantle its nukes program?

How about acknowledging that it was Bush's toughness that made Libya suddenly and unexpectedly renounce any future terrorist activity? Isn't it a little odd that such an enormous development is ignored by the press? If a Democratic President had achieved such a coup, it would be front page news, and he'd be Time Magazine "Man Of The Year".

Instead of publishing a daily body count about Iraq, how about balancing that with the body count here in the U.S., which for the last six years has been ZERO!

Would it kill the myopic, effete, Liberal press to give some credit to Bush for the fact that Israel has withdrawn from previously occupied territory, or recognize our efforts to get a homeland for the Palestinians?

Any possibility of extracting even grudging acknowledgement that Saudi Arabia, which used to play both sides of the fence regarding terrorism, is now a firm ally? How about Bush's miracle of keep the Pakistani President from getting cold feet and distancing himself from the war on terror?

There are so many things Bush has done that have gone unacknowledged. Let's start holding the press accountable for their unbelievable bias. Let's prove our case against them.

China warns U.S. and South Korea. Your thoughts?




Yoshiki Ha


China warned on Friday against military acts near its coastline ahead of U.S.-South Korean naval exercises that North Korea, days after shelling a South Korean island, said risked pushing the region towards war.

Beijingâs warning came as the Seoul government named a career soldier as its new defence minister amid mounting criticism of the response to Tuesdayâs attack by North Korea, its heaviest bombardment since the 1950-53 Korean War.

North Korean artillery shells rained down on the small South Korean island of Yeonpyeong on Tuesday, killing four people and destroying dozens of houses.

"The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching closer to the brink of war due to the reckless plan of those trigger-happy elements to stage again war exercises targeted against the (North)," the Northâs official KCNA news agency said.

The aggressive language is typical of North Korean state-owned media, but the heightened tension was enough to depress the won as much as 2.2 percent. The stock market closed 1.3 percent down, in line with the wider region.

The United States is sending in an aircraft carrier group led by the nuclear-powered USS George Washington to the Yellow Sea for military exercises with South Korea starting on Sunday.

Planned before this weekâs attack, the four-day manoeuvres are a show of strength which, besides enraging North Korea, have unsettled China, its neighbour and only real ally.

"We oppose any military act by any party conducted in Chinaâs exclusive economic zone without approval," Chinaâs Foreign Ministry said in an online response to a question regarding Chinaâs position on the George Washington participating in joint naval exercises.

The exclusive economic zone is a maritime zone up to 200 nautical miles from a countryâs coast.

Washington is pressing China to use its influence to rein in Pyongyang to help ease tension in the worldâs fastest-growing economic region.


GOVERNMENT CRITICISED

South Koreaâs presidential Blue House appointed Kim Kwan-jin, 61, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to replace Kim Tae-young, who had tried to resign the defence portfolio in May following criticism of the governmentâs response to a torpedo attack on a South Korean warship blamed on the North.

"(We) think nominee Kim, well-respected for professionalism and conviction, is the right person for the post in order to restore trust from people and boost morale in the entire military," presidential secretary Hong Sang-pyo told a news briefing.

There was brief panic in the capital Seoul in the afternoon when television reported sounds of artillery fire near Yeonpyeong. But the military said the artillery fire was distant and no shells landed in South Korea.

"Investors are growing more jittery ahead of the joint military exercise," said Kim Hyoung-ryoul, a market analyst at NH Investment & Securities. "The key concern is, whether North Korea will again take unforeseen, rash actions."

Reclusive and unpredictable North Korea has defied international efforts to halt its nuclear ambitions. But Tuesdayâs artillery barrage was a major ramping-up of tension between to two Koreas, who remain technically still at war.

South Korean troops fired back 13 minutes later, causing unknown damage. Members of Leeâs own party and opposition lawmakers accused the military of responding too slowly.

Hundreds of former South Korean soldiers held a protest rally in the border town of Paju on Friday, accusing the government of being too weak. A small anti-North Korea protest was held in Seoul.

"The lazy governmentâs policies towards North Korea are too soft," said Kim Byeong-su, president of the association of ex-marines, in Paju. "It needs to take revenge on a bunch of mad dogs."

Yet, we still have plenty of Americans who are calling for cuts in the Defense budget.
