Where guns are outlawed only outlaws have guns. We see the very real world manifestation of this off the coast of Somalia. International shipping does not allow for firearms in international waters. Do the pirates care? Yes, they love easy unarmed targets. So to hell with international law! Life liberty and dead pirates ! Arm the crews with at least M-14's, (and/or even M-60's) ...add .45 acps & feed the pirates to the sharks.

unarmed American crew wrested control of their U.S.-flagged cargo ship from Somali pirates
Good for the crew. Good job! Wonderful! But unarmed? What the hell are they doing in pirate infested waters without weapons?

And pathtic. Now, if Japan doesnt want to look even more pathetic, it needs to show some backbone. Block shipping lanes to NK. Its that simple. This would indeed put presure on China to deal with NK.

Smith, if someone is at war with you because of who you are and what you believe, then:
A) You defend yourself and are at war with them whether it is politically comfortable or not; or
B) You piss yourself, run away and eventually die when they come to cut off your head on YouTube
The extremist culture of death spawned throughout the Muslim world hates Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Hindus with equal opportunity. Try drawing a comic of "the prophet" with a bomb and see how fast they are at war with you.
Such a bewilderingly ignorant statement. So, we are asked to tolerate the intolerant because they have a twitchy propensity to teach their children how to make bombs? As long as we are free, it is our moral obligation to fight them, or be slaves to tyranny. Yes, we are at war. They don't distinguish between good Christians or bad, good or bad Hindus or good or bad Americans, why should we go out of our way to appease their undifferentiated hate for us?

We think the students were just fooling around
A miscarriage of justice. If they were just fooling around, then lets put powdered alum (with a few other mystery ingredients just for fun) in your lunch vice principal san! Wow, we can even make a club!

Code for: "Yes, Turkey, you have our blessing to annihilate the Kurds now that we don't need them holding down the fort in the north anymore".
Once again we betray those who fight with us for political expediency. Will Obama serve up Taiwan to China next? Stay tuned.

There is a sickness in the human heart that causes suicide in any culture. Culturally accepted suicide victims are just as dead in Japan without a gun or a shot fired. A gun is an inanimate object, a tool for good or evil. Guns don't "cause crime" anymore than a cow causes hamburger. If the Vietnamese immigrant used a gasoline bomb to kill everyone, this conversation would be way different. The same old simple knee jerk reaction to blame guns and not the Godless culture of drugs and violence that kids grow up in today will of course solve everything.

Ha! Its only the eye of the storm. (All you Wall Street investors, come out, come out and play!!! ...Look! Look! The sun is shining! Obama said so!) When the rest of the storm roars ashore, what will he claim then? That he is the president of the special economic Olympics?

Hmmm...lets see. Well, we know there are about 194 other nations in the "international community".... AND we all know its better to give than receive. If each one fired a rocket back....well, I think that would be appropriate.

You gotta be jokin'! TRUST??? ...use taxpayer $ PRUDENTLY???! What is there to trust? After the hosing that said tax payer just took/ is taking, throwing future billion$ & trillion$ to the greedy govt bailout corruption machine? The time for being nice is over. The very fear mongering politicians who advocated "save the banks at all costs"now pontificate about the outrageousness of AIG bonuses? Taxation without representation is tyranny. Hello? We have Tyranny. Tyranny with more taxation is simply because people are brainwashed and the govt can get away with robbery.
My plan for bad bank assets? Let them all fall! Let the banksters lose their homes, jobs & eat from garbage dumpers & live in tent cities!!! Let the credit card companies burn in hell, and maybe people can learn to save again and use cash, instead paying interest to spend money they don't have. Let the power stay with the people. Wake up America!

An oxymoronic statement. Ahmadinejad is Hitler. Appeasement and capitulation are not without their enablers. The name Barak Obama will go down in history as synonymous with Neville Chamberlain.

Q: Yes, I've lost my job and over half my retirement savings in the stock market, what should I do?
T: What ever made you think your money was SAFE in the stock market? Who told you that? What to do for retirement? Take a number, get in line and fill out applications for McDonalds and Wal-Mart. ...*Next? *

Round all 73 of them up, hand-cuff them to their $1 million bonus bags in front of an angry mob of people who have lost both home and jobs and then, let them run for their lives!
Excellent point. The bail-out politicians can be next.
