I don't think it is that simple. One of the IAU proposals would have made
Pluto, Charon, and Ceres "planets." Would that have made the scientists

I prefer the decision they made over the original one, but I would have been
quite happy if they'd said, "We made a mistake with Pluto, but we'll leave
it alone, and will be more careful in the future."
Did al-Mahdi know something serious was amiss in the radical
Islamist community he was closely monitoring?
Apparently so. He would later recount to Vanity Fair David Rose
in a January 2002 expose that had the FBI come to Khartoum in
February 1998 to analyze the data on terrorists that had lived
in or passed through Sudan. The offer went without a reply even
as Hamilton repeatedly queried Berger, Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, and others about what was wrong with the
offer and why it was placed at the entrance pupil, the exit
pupil shrinks below 0.3mm, your eye can no longer see that. The
idea that what we see around bagdad now is low cost simple to
build . which by themselves is kind of old hat.
I propose we name this the Oriel virus. :-)
