When Secretary Hillary Clinton said that the US had "special abilities" that can contribute to the Libyan war, my first thought is that they will deploy drones. They are one of the most feared weapons in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, when the western intervention started, the US used Tomahawk missiles. I was happy for the intervention to protect Libyan civilians, but disappointed that the US did not deploy their prized assets.
Today, the US announced that they will deploy drones. I believe it will further tilt the war in the rebels' favour. Imagine unmanned helicopters hovering for hours in built up areas, waiting to kill a military leader, a sniper, or deliver a precision missile to kill a section of government troops. The next few weeks could get interesting.

Limitless Brain Power
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219289/
If there is a pill that can make you smarter, will you take it? Think of the "limitless" possibilities.
In this movie, a washed-out writer who is facing a block decided to dabble into the unknown, a drug that enhances brain power. His mind clears suddenly. He writes a best selling novel in 4 days. He starts to trade stocks and grew his account from 12k to 2m in 10 trading days.
Then he faces side-effects, effects that almost killed him. He manages to find private laboratories that could remove the "bugs" from the drug. He manages to turn around and run for President with the new drug without the side effecfs.
If only...
I've been searching for this since 1993. I've tried many. Most just give you a high. I'm not talking about illegal substances, but drugs that are supposedly clinically proven to treat Alzeimer's, Attention Deficit Disorder etc. They all disappoint. Many don't give you a clearer mind.
Perhaps my quest is similar to Emperor Qin's quest for the elixir of youth. He never found it. In fact, by ingesting mercury, he hastened his death.
