never will be.

PJ

The reason that you have never been invaded is because you are too
far away..

Has anyone ever invaded American territory across the Bering Strait?
No. Why? It would be logistically impossible. To reach the Strait, an
army would have to cross hundreds of miles of wilderness (impassable
in winter), without any adequate roads, let alone a railway. Across
the Strait, the terrain in Alaska would be almost as difficult. There
is only one major highway that leads, not to America, but Canada. The
only way it might be done would be to establish a string of naval
bases towards the West coast, which would require a mind boggling
number of troops, ships, and aircraft to establish just the invasion
route...

So what?

Actually, the nearest that the Japanese got to America was the
Aleutian Islands, but perhaps you've never heard of them. It was
possible to maintain a small garrison at that distance, but no
more.....the line of communication was too long and stretched. The
Americans could operate from Alaska, and soon threw them out.

Pele launches search for African football talent

AFP
April 18, 2007

DOHA (AFP) - Qatar's Aspire Academy on Wednesday announced a wide-ranging
programme to identify and train top footballing talent from seven African
countries.

"Aspire Africa. Football Dreams" was unveiled at a ceremony in the Qatari
capital attended by legendary Brazilian star Pele.

Starting in late May, 6,000 staff will screen more than 500,000 boys born
in 1994 in seven different countries -- Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya,
Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa.


In the first phase, the best 50 players from each country, identified in
the selection process, will go for a week of trials in the capital city of
their respective nations.

The top three from each country will then go to the Aspire academy in Doha
for four weeks of trials and testing. Following a period of assessment and
discussions with the families, the most talented players will be enrolled
into the Academy.

Andreas Bleicher, Sports Director at Aspire Andreas Bleicher said: "This is
an incredible opportunity for talented young African boys to reach the
heights of international football in the future.

"Everyone in football is aware of the significant talent that exists in
Africa, and also of the challenges that can prevent this talent reaching its
full potential."

The state-of-the-art Aspire Academy is the largest indoor sports arena in
the world. Its main aim is to identify, educate and train talented athletes
to compete in professional sports at the highest levels.
