International Agreements state that airline-passengers who spend less than a minimum time (6 hours in most countries) in transit at airports are deemed not to have entered the country.

"and that the entire world knows about Guantanamo bay and the behaviour of American troops in Iraque and elsewhere ..." For a learned person this is pretty ignorant. To infer judgement of a country from the behavior of a few is not very bright. Does the name Dachau mean anything to you sir. __

I swore that I would never get involved in the politics of this list, but bugger it! Australia is a close ally of the US. Indeed, we had special forces **inside** Iraq even **before** the Gulf War 2 started. However, an Australian citizen who wants to enter the US has to be fingerprinted to get ev

Dear Aaron; I have two mini Phal. species that are on tree fern (javanica and gibbosa), but they are growing in a raft position to get the extra moisture they need. They are growing in a shade house with just screening and shade cloth during the summer and they get well water and rain water.

I have learned that in this climate you can not have too many fans during the Spring, Summer, and Fall to keep the water from staying on the leaves or from condensing on the leaves. When I first built my greenhouse we had a rainy spell with humidity in the 95% + and 90 deg + during the days. At
