Depends on which country you're in, and context, a versatile term yes .... related to pender, 'to hang', and thusly to pendiente, 'unresolved' ... or 'unshaven', depends on what it is and from where it's hanging -g- To identify crime as crime and not as bin Laden's casus belli for 'war' is not to minimize its danger, or to refrain from using military assets in police actions ... sure the islamicists are a worry, hey we all saw those images and eighty of our nations took casualties that day ..... they are not the only danger though, and even if they were, the best defense against them would still lie in strong alliance of democracies ..... only way to get to alliance, is through dialogue Politicians could maybe take a lesson from cops, this was a point made by that quebecois ex-mountie, he said police tend to cooperate far better than most imagine, they share information with their counterparts overseas because there is mutual interest in doing so, they have a reciprocity going and they know pretty clear who are their friends, and who their enemies .... most of them shake their heads at politicians taking little postures, this was probably his strongest message Pendejearla - i think this is a mexicanismo only, means something like 'to blow it' .... is the topic getting overdone, well i dunno, got to deal with stocks and real life now in any case, so rest easy -g- ..... cheers
