I am glad that he went, but like I said, I think it was for publicity. If as some say it was not, then why the story at all. He should have just went and not worry about it. To go in the "still of the night" to me seems…

This is merely a stunt to try to win approval ratings and make it seems like he is doing something about the war that he said we should have been fighting.

If the US wants to get ahead in this war, they have the most powerful tool at their hand…

Well I am glad that they not only went to the US Embassy but included China in their visit. Funny how the US and USSR and China have massive nuclear arsenals, but have the sense not to readily use them to solve the many conflicts they have been in since…

If one goes to San Diego, you will see 3 carries and about 14 nuclear powered submarines there. Never do you ever see any of the schools conduct such drills. They do conduct a base drill that notifies local emergency services, but it is low key. Same thing in Norfolk.…

I didn't know the BNP was a white supremacist org. There is a really nice guy here, who has a Japanese wife, who is a big supporter of them. I wonder if I should say something to him.

You know, even in America you have the same thing. People who…

I see this happening with a former co-worker of mine. He transferred back to San Diego on a USN ship and his JN wife refused to go back with him. So he had to leave his wife and daughter here in Japan while he goes to San Diego, and be…

Good move. I dread going to Narita.

Most train and bus lines finish around midnight. To deal with the incoming people, they'll have to find some way to move them all.

This should not be a problem since most international flights either arrive very early (around 7am from from BKK)…

A chicago poster hit a home run with the following. "The Chicago democrat machine ain't what it used to be. They were supposed to bribe the Olympic Committee, not the Nobel Committee!"

That is just priceless!

Obama should respectfully decline the award. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by declining it.

USNinJapan2, the President will speak live in about 10 minutes. If he did as you said, it probably would be a shrewd move by him, but also it will be seen by…

Too soon for this kind of award. I would have like to see what it would be like a year from now. Maybe with this award, he can quiet down the Pashtuns in Afg.
