Should we be extending, or trying to extend, NATO membership up to Moscow's borders?

We certainly should be doing that now. This is what happens when we don't.

When the Soviets tried it with the tiny Caribbean island nation of Grenada in 1983, well everyone should remember how that played…

So China somehow has a responsibility to help change the internal crisis in Darfur?

Well, for starters, the "Peoples Republic" could stop selling weapons and materiel to Khartoum's Arab Janjaweed Militia that is doing most of the slaughter, slave-trading and rape in Darfur. They could, but you know they won't...…

Maybe the PRC should have found a way to placate Steven Spielberg (as former artistic director). There's so much traditional/historical cool stuff to showcase in China but they just threw random stuff around in the vain attempt to entertain us.

A good thing Japan carried both the hinomaru and the…

The only point I want to make before I hit the sack (these opening ceremonies are super tacky and ridiculously long) is that for you people in America:

If you truly want to make efforts to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, cease your NSA's domestic wiretapping, etc., **more…

it disgusts me how everyone is so quick to jump all over this poor woman whom probably none of you have ever met.

Well, the lady is clearly a Stalinist and Maoist (I would love to ask her what she thinks of Pol Pot)- so mass murder itself is not…

Probably the reason why she continues to live in the P.R.C.:

*This book describes in detail Soviet espionage to discover American nuclear secrets. It begins with the work of Arthur Adams, who came to the United States in 1938 as a spy. It discusses problems of security experienced by the…

Spot on article. Seems like the perfect solution to me.

Journalism has always been about making money, first and foremost, and there's a lot of it to be made in China.

Which ..is why...they're being...so...critical of China...yeah, it all makes sense to me now. . . Sure, they are businesses,…

The people and Mayor of Hiroshima have every right to remember and memorialize this.

Agreed- just as Japanese politicians have every right to visit Yasukuni Shrine.

I would like to note, however, that although neither the people of Hiroshima or Nagasaki "deserved" to be nuked, neither also would Kyushu have…

I'm actually watching the Hiroshima Peace Ceremony on NHK now.

Neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki deserved to be nuked, but neither also would Kyushu have deserved a far bloodier invasion or Hokkaido and Tohoku have deserved to be turned into a Japanese version of North Korea.

Japan may have been on…

You seem to prefer imposing political correctness to stifle the debate, however.

...which is a good indication of just how enclosed your bubble is, Betzee. You just can't take criticism of the laogai camps or Maoism without feeling "stifled"...
