I don't think it will work if any al-Qaida are citizens of the country. The citizens of the country don't want war and certainly don't want foreigners in their country.Karzai isn't going to say too much that will cause them to change their minds, but he benefits from US because of constantly providing funds that he can jam in his pocket.

I believe Japan should cooperate and accept the nuclear disarmament talks.It's time to get rid of all nuclear weapons to include the US and Israel and make this a safer world to live in. Additionally, I believe all countries should comply with international laws and respect and not interfere in the internal affairs of of sovereign nations.

In my opinion, I believe the only way to resolve the situation between Israel and Palestine is to enforce International Laws and the UN Resolutions that have been violated over the years. I personally don't believe Israel wants a two state solution as long as it is able to expand homes on land that rightfully belongs to the Palestinians.
I also believe the US Government speaks with forked tongue by saying things in public, contrary to what is said directly to the Israeli government. The US could apply pressure by denying aid to Israel, and this could be done because any country in possession of Nuclear weapons and not a member of the NPT is a violation of US law unless waived by the President.

It appears the voice of the people aren't being heard by the politicians in power. China to a degree is an ally of NK, however, China's Pres Hu Jintao has spoken that in lieu of escalating the situation between North & South Korea there should be dialogue between the two countries. Regrettably, NK wanted to send an investigation team to SK, but was denied by SK and I wonder who influenced SK to take that stand?

In my opinion,the G8 should be disbanded as it really serves no purpose. The G20 should be expanded to include more developing countries so that there are more voices heard. Since the WB and IMB are run by US & EU, China, India and Brazil should also be involved. Many of the developing countries are losing more money than they should because of the US & EU policies.

We've given Israel since 1948 over 104 trillion dollars.They also receive in grant form, annually, $1400.00 for every man,woman,& child.A US Regulation also prohibits providing aid to a country that has Nuclear weapons and not a member of the NPT unless the President waivers the regulation. Palestinians live like caged animals, little food, poor housing situation, and no jobs, all because of Israel and the undying but blind support for Israel. Why complain about Iran wanting nuclear power and nothing mentioned about Israel? US needs to be an honest mediator and politicians need to stop taking campaign funds from Israel, & AIPAC, THE ARM of Israel.

It is imaterial what the Ambassador has to say. Japan must make up its own decision and if it wants the foreign troops out of its country, so-be-it! I don't believe removing foreign troops from their country will cause another country to attacked it. I believe a lot of problems can be resolved through diplomacy and lieu of threats.

Since Japan is a sovereign nation, it should make the determination whether it wants foreign troops on their soil. We have troops in over 130 countries and eliminating a majority of those countries, we could save our country a lot of money and provide more security on our own borders.

Any land confiscated during war time must be returned back to its owners IAW International Law & UN Resolutions. The US blindly supports Israel regardless of their action, and as long as this continues, we will constantly be at war with the Arab world.

Let's see, when the US Marines attacked Haiti in 1915, they occupied the country until 1934. Additionally, I believe in the late 80s, the US didn't particularly care for the way the Government of Haiti was operating. Then a coup took place, President Aristide was kidnapped by the US government and flown to Africa. Aristide has been trying to return to Haiti for many years now, but still being denied. He was elected by the people of Haiti as their President. Secretary Clinton made an appeal to the UN to cause the government to institute martial law and enforce curfew,for pillage of goodsand for security reasons. Correspondents in Haiti dispute her comments because there is no problem. Course, if you haven't eaten or had anything to drink, you would do whatever possible you could to put food or water in your mouth. There is really no reason to have so many US troops in Haiti.

If there is a two state solution, then Palestine should be recognized as a sovereign nation. Under the current situation of the Palestinians who are being treated worse than animals in a cage. Additionally, Israel continues confiscating land that is privately owned by Palestinians. Recently the Arab-Israelis are losing their status and their homes are being confiscated in Jerusalem. Pressure should be put on the Israelis to start complying with the UN Resolutions that the US Government always vetoes.

"Doctors without borders", is a very effective organization and will be of great assistance in helping the Haitians. I believe China was the first developing country to send a good size contingent of personnel to help in the disaster. Thanks to all the countries who have pledged to donate monies and/or people to help in the rescue efforts of the Haitians. The only regrets are the dead bodies were stacked up blocking roads because some of the Haitians believed aid wasn't quick enough. The other problem is the looting that's taking place.

Scy Clinton will be pushing this issue during her talks with Okada. In my opinion, if Okinawa/Japan doesn't want the base on their land, then troops should be withdrawn. Why spend all this money overseas when it could be used in our own homeland.

Amazing story! The lady should receive some type of national recognition.It took a lot of courage for her to do what she did. I'm sure there are many people who would have left him fall by turning their backs to the situation.

The bowing of the President was proper. Now, if the Emperor extended his hand out to the President, then I believe both were proper.

President Hu Jintao deserves much credit in dealing with his counterparts. China continues to progress economically. This year China issued 217K visas to people around the world who mostly will be attending events, colleges & Universities. China has loaned much money to various countries in Africa and also within the Asean community. Additionally, Hu Jintao has stated on numerous occasions that he will not interfere in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations.

Clinton should just close her piehole! She is desperate to run for Presidency probably in 2012. She sure hasn't made any friends on her trips around the world except for Israel.

In my opinion, Clinton should never have gotten the post as SOS! Seems she definitely wants to be the next President. Probably can't figure out why she didn't beat Obama out! There will never be peace or a two state solution when the US is so biased with Israel. Then they vote on the Goldstone report that showed photos and documents about the latest war with Palestine & Israel. One would have to be so illiterate to dispute the Goldstone report. Course the US will veto anything that is negative about Israel. Afterall, the Chief of Staff Emanuel served with the Israel military.

I watched the news regarding the arms etc that Israel claims was aboard the ship. My question, why has Israel refused to show the manifest to the news media?

Am I to understand that our drones firing missiles are only killing people that we've targeted? Since Obama administration there have been over 40 drone flights and the biggest majority killed were women and children. I personally think it's time to pack up and leave the country.
