jeancolmar I agree with you wholeheartedly. This war should never have been started in the first place. It was based on lies from the very beginning. On the morning of 9/11 Richard Clark was told by Paul Wolfowitz to "find a way to connect Iraq" to these attacks. "Slam dunk!"…

Technically, a road accident in Japan is a breach of criminal law, as I was surprised to discover recently. But, if Japan's finest constabulary were to, say, arise from their well padded rear ends and actually do their job, law enforcement, two things might happen. First, by being pro-active, not…

Sarge, "Wonder why killing of liberator Americans never sparks outrage?" America is located on the other side of the globe from Iraq, Iran, Syria and anyone else "W" declares he doesn't like, because AIPAC told him to. Given that Iraq is majority Shia, as is al Sadr, that would make…

We've been sold a crock on nuclear power. When "OPERATED SAFELY" it's very environmentally friendly. It's the bozos who have a hidden, short-cut ridden, safety-ignoring, manual in daily use that should scare the crap out of us! Building on an active seismic fault doesn't help either!

"People are fed up, they are angry, they’re frustrated and they’re bitter. And they want to see a change in Washington." Amen to that, from a typical white person!

....interesting, "gunned down by law-abiding, freedom-loving Iraqis"....! By that logic whoever might remove certain elements of the neo-cons in DC would be a "freedom loving American?" Can't wait! Anyway, I did a bit of digging, (no graveyard humor intended) today turned up the fact that Riyadh al-Nouri was Muqtada al-Sadr's…

Regardless of how they kill them, the seals carry worms, which have infected the cod stocks, and almost decimated that fishery. The cod will never recover if the seals are allowed to multiply indefinitely. Like it or not, humans are part of this process, and have been for centuries. Cull,…

Interesting, last time Red Vlad was in Tokyo, he discovered that they'd arranged a signing ceremony for him to hand back the islands. Somewhat chagrined he cut the trip short and went home for some home-made borscht, black bread and tea. No signing and no islands!
