	Blockbuster bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blockbuster was the name given to several of the largest conventional bombs used in World War II by the Royal Air Force (RAF).
		These bombs had especially thin casings that allowed them to contain approximately three-quarters of their weight in explosive, the 4,000 pounder containing over 3,000 lb (1,360 kg) of explosive filling.
		The two World War II bombs which best fit the description of bunker busters are the Tallboy bomb 12,000 lb (5,400 kg) MC and the Grand Slam bomb 22,000 (10,000 kg) MC both designed by Barnes Wallis for the RAF.

		This is demonstrated most fully by a series of ceaseless bombings and deaths occurring in the background, while the heroic leads merely run about, pretending to make a difference in the battle.
		It is baffling how a summary of the next years of World War II could leave out any reference to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States or the Japanese interment camps established by the government.
		Regardless of the context, it is a completely unacceptable use of such a slighting term, especially given that the film is nothing more than a blockbuster special effects vehicle, and not an artistic endeavor that uses the term as a reminder of America's past racism.

		Blockbuster is revealing that it takes the rental volume of its subscribers into account during the allocation process.
		While I can't say I blame them, given the nature of the "unlimited rentals" pitched in the company's marketing strategy, uncapped rentals were a time bomb waiting to go off.

		The Foreign Minister, Shimon Peres, in an interview published this weekend by the German magazine Der Spiegel, maintained it “obviously was a mistaken calculation to use an one-ton blockbuster bomb to assassinate one person in a three-story apartment building in the midst of a densely populated city neighborhood.
		This agreement, Alex Fishman remarked in the Israeli Yediot Aharonot daily (June 24), was achieved thanks to the massive Palestinian public opinion that suicide and other bombing attacks within Israel are counter-productive to the just cause of the Palestinian people and their national aspirations.
		One thing is clear: Should Sharon and his myrmidons succeed in provoking extremist Palestinian, to renew suicide or other major bomb attacks within Israel their spilled blood should be accounted for as victims of Sharon’s brutal colonialist occupation policy.
