First, Japan must withdraw various funds and programs from the corrupted U.N. bureaucracy, thus demanding a seat on the permanent security council. Second, Japan should test a satellite that fly over China and then telling them to keep China's head cool. Third, Japan must find the way to stop the pachinko's fund to N. Korea; including banning the game due to illicit transaction of fund to N.Korea.

N.Korea is Communist China buffer zone. China is 60% responsible and Russia is 40% to it. The way to stop N.Korea is to let China know that it is unacceptable or else. How do you justify the tyranny committed by the dictatorship of N.Korea in making the country as the largest prison on earth? Conscience anyone?

The U.S. should shoot down the missile (satellite?~ who's stupid to believe that)for security reason. The N.Korea gangs would not do anything such as invading the South,for they know they will be wiped out from their privileges. They might pull a small scale stunt as usual. It is time to let them feel the heat a little. Go Freedom and Human dignity....

It is a "spendilus" bill for future Americans to bear. It has little to do with jobs creation, but rather a social spending program in the form of payoff to the Democratic base in the U.S.(60%! can win re-election any day) Jobs are created mostly in public sectors, not bigger government control. More and more this policy is leading the U.S. closer to the fail socialism of Europe. Obama is not about the future, for he is about the moment of his own ego. The time will tell....remember FDR!

Obama was a candidate of "good judgment", for now he is the president of "? judgment". First was Richardson, second is Tim Geitner, and now Daschle...who's next? Remember Democratic NY congressman C. Wrangles! The show just begins for more to come. MLK said that a person should be judged by the content of character, and not words alone. Obama's stimulus package is not much about jobs creation, but rather about paying off and securing the Democratic base. Please do not waste our children future by wasteful spending. If Sadam still alive, he would laugh like a crazy man and disturb the whole middle east including gasing some of the many loons who are still embracing the WMD. Irag is improving and has a long way to go, and that is the fact.

Biden's son just quit the job as a lobby a job a few days ago. Why now? if Obama and Biden wear the lipstick on, still they are Obama & Biden. They have nothing new to offer america for better besides recycling the policy of tax and spending and quick fix scheme policy. In the Dems convention and on the campaign trail, none have mention about "extreme Muslim terrorist; which is the core of America's foreign policy. They are the party of defeat that will America weak thus causing a possible major attack as 9-11 in the future. Peace through strength and country first before special interest groups.

The IOC are corrupted and sold their souls to China. The communist China's face of perfection is fake as lip singing opening ceremony. The cheating of the actual age by the Chinese women gymnastic is the real face of China. Too many "fakes" from the merchandises to the whole system. China worship money. The Olympic and the corrupted IOC do help the communist China. Democracy in China is a long shot, may be many more decades. So, at this junction; the answer is NO.

Japan has no enemy in the cold war area? Ha, ha...it is such a naive way of understanding the world at large. By the way, the neutral country is Switzerland, not Sweden. Without U.S military bases, Japan would slowly being swallowed by the Chinese, Korea(s) and Russian. They would harass and choke Japan into submission to their domain. Japan can be strong, neutral and peaceful through a good diplomacy. The world is getting to respect Japan over the years. U.S helps Japan to be free and prosper as the world is moving in the scene of a global village. Do not sell your soul to weakness.

You can not analyze Obama's speech. Truly it sounds and rimes pretty good, but only for KIDS. Twenty years of his judgment with Rev. Wright, voting against the surge in Iraq and claimed it was a distraction!; and now talking about the world free of nuclear weapons? It is all about TALKING and a lot of kids like the feel good talk. Bill Clinton tried once in front of Arafat and Israel in Egypt, and it did not work. And now Obama claims he is the one who can without pre-condition dealing with Iran and Terrorism. I wonder when he is going to smoke again? World peace will not be achieved by such ignorance and arrogance personality.

Obama runs the campaign on the platform of "better judgement". It took him twenty years to find out about Rev. Wright? Is it about Obama's ego or America's interest? Obama has no vision and understanding about energy policy besides his sweet deal with his Ethernol's backers. The bottom line is the complexity of Islam with their "nouveau rich". You name it (Al Queda,Iraq,Iran,Afghanistan & the middle East) the band aid policy favored by Dems never work. America needs along term goal and through strength to confront this real issue, especially energy independence.

I guess Barack Hussein Obama forgot to have a one on one session with the Taliban, after all. It seems like no one else can talk to Iran's dictatorship over the years like Obama. Next stop, Iraq. Come on Obama, go ahead have a session with Amadanijah; it just across the border. Show us your real self, rather than just being a big mouth; and may be A CHANGE WE ALL CAN BELIEVE. Joker needs a lesson from Obama. America deserves better than that.

A lot of folks are jealous of America. U.S.A is not perfect, but still the best country on earth. Europe is being eating alive by the force of Islam. The time will come, America will steps up to the plate thus saving Europe again. The opportunistic Russia and China has nothing to offer to the civilize world. I guess it is easy to complain rather than making things constructive. Remember that America is a microcosm of the world like no others. We will be evolving beyond all these nonsenses. Go ahead and learn how to complain about U.N for a change, will you!

The Congress under the majority of Democrats have the lowest favorable rate than President Bush. The Dems are looking for a quick fix, and they do not mind to paint a dark picture of America for their own gains. America is not perfect, the UN are lost and corrupted, the EU is being swallowing by Islam, and the Russian-Chinese alliance are ready to stir the pot. There was a flaw in Bush's Iraq policy; however we have to give a new Iraq a chance. "Killing field" is nothing if America is pulling out from Iraq now. May be you folks do not give a damn. Have a conscience and thinking ahead about further steps ahead. How about focusing on securing energy policy thus stopping sending our money to the Mullah for a change.

I think Barak Hussein Obama can do better than that. He criticizes Bush every turns he could; and now crying foul like a baby when the wheel turns on him. It is a historical fact, remember Chamberlain appeased Hitler before WWII! There have been numerous attempts of talking with Iran Syria and Palestinian alike over the years. It have not produced result because we did not match their demands? It is so naive to suggest that common ground can be achieved in this case. Please study their real intent, and then learn how to talk. The Dems and Obama offer their band-aid solution that go nowhere. Keep on singing "give peace a chance" or "kumbaya my lord". I guess a lot of folks love these Hollywood themes. What a shame!

Assuming that excessive forces had been used, however it is naive to believe the victims are innocent in this case. When two wrongs put together, it does not make it wright. Al Sharpton makes a living out of these type of situations. How about 10% social justice + 90% self-interest? Do not feel bad if this formula does not apply to you! The burden will be upon the tax payers citizen of N.Y. It has to be a constructive solution when these peoples are cool headed by putting their self-interest aside. I am such a dreamer, obviously...Hello, Anyone out there!!!

I am still waiting for the second coming of African American leaders who are not self serving, opportunistic and corrupted. Al Sharpton is definitely for sure is not the One. I applause Bill Cosby who focus on the family issue among minority groups. That is the constructive thing to do.

I agree that Iraq war has not been well executed, however it is time to find better solution for the entire area; especially among the Muslim world (read Koran for you will know why?). And it is going to be a long process. No quick fix guys, otherwise enjoying your lala land while you can. Kim Jung Ill's regime and Syrian's Assad regime would do anything for their own survival and glory even at the cost of their own people. Most N.Koreans are starving while the dear leader sipping champagne. These peoples assume that everybody else are worthless, except themselves. Keep on spinning. If N.Korea and Syria try it again, you will see a better show next time from the Israel. By the way, do not forget to send mother day's roses to your friends in Iran, the Hamas and may be the Taliban...as well.

The IAEA should focus of doing their duty and thus staying away from politic. Israel, how problematic may be; has the right to self-defense. There is a possibility, if foretold in advance; El Baradei's office might misuse the timing factor and allowing the Syria to cover up all evidences related to this violation. I do not think El Baradai is honestly performing his job as it should. His delaying tactics favoring Iran is such a clear case of misusing the IAEA office. Please do your assignment, and let the politicians who are paying the bill at the UN play their games. It reminds me about the boxing judges for Ray Jones in the Olympic in S.Korea. Honestly without agenda will better promote world peace, OK.
