Waste your time caring about a lot of 'hot' women, do you? Like you'll ever get your hands on her...

What was her nationality.....? Know any western women who dress like that? She may have been from elsewhere in Asia, but to me that desription alone is enough to say she was Japanese...

As welcome as this news obviously is, al-Qaida's reaction to this will be one of two things. Either they will now thrash about aimlessly like a headless chicken or they may put some previously agreed plan into action.
I read somewhere just a few days ago that al-Qaida had smuggled a nuclear device into Europe somewhere that was to be detonated should bin Laden be killed. This intel may be pure fabrication but it came from a high ranking al-Qaida operative currently being held at Guantanamo Bay.

You have your elected leaders, the royals have no real power and less and less status with each passing year. But oh, how those tourists love 'em. Worth having them for that much alone...

OK, but wasn't it God's great power that caused all of this death and destruction in the first place? If we follow your logic and God is all powerful, where was he when he was needed?

I was blissfully unaware that ineptitude was a criminal offence in Japan. If that is the case, when can we expect the Kan administration to be indicted...?

The key phrase here is '... 4-month-old daughter.' This may well be a case of post natal depression or possibly just stress from having to look after two young children. Not all women are text book mothers. Strange that she would deny the charges, though. She should admit what she has done and ask for help.

Democracy is for the law abiding. He is a self confessed murderer soon to be a convicted murderer and thus he does not have the same rights that law abiding members of society have. He has chosen to live outside of normal society and the benefits we all enjoy are no longer open to him. I don't personally think he has any rights at all, but maybe that is too extreme. I know for an absolute fact he wouldn't get to write and publish a book in the UK...and the UK is the birthplace of modern parliamentary democracy of the kind you you mention.

No, ebisen, you are completely missing the point. He is guilty, we already know that. This book is an insult to the memory of a murdered girl and her family and is an abomination.

Why isn't possible for my wife and I to have a joint bank account the way we did in the UK? I assume it is because Japanese husbands don't want their wives to have easy access to their money...
