    "Al-Sadr blamed the Americans" is code-speak for Mossad.

    In Canada free speech is enshrined in the preamble to the constitution, and has parameters set to it, so that if the speech is considered hateful, it should be curbed. I think that's a good balance. Courts have decided in both directions in different cases. In Japan, I think, speech is quite free, but not without its consequences. In Israel and Ireland I have seen the freedom to talk about anything, and lively debates rage on. But in America, where one is supposed to be free, just say anything out of whack with what the O'Reilly's or the Hannity's of the world see at THE truth, and you will find yourself swiftboated in a New York minute.

    Trouble is, I just saw an OL this evening hitting on last week's hire. She was only 28 herself. Things MUST be desperate! Instead of the endless remembering and forgetting that Mombusho teaches, why are social skills not on any curriculum?

    "The number of good-quality trade-in vehicles available on the used auto market decreased." Snapped up, like the yellow-plates, because of lower operating costs overall.

    Was it a cultivated pinky-finger 2 cm nail from one of the salarymen from the train we talked about recently? You know, the one for nasal and aural cleaning? (Sorry, hope nobody was eating!)

    You mean you didn't follow with bated breath every bodily function reported on LDP-TV about Kibo-Doi, Kibo-Doi, Kibo-Doi ad infinitum for the duration of the last mission? Heck, he did it A L L singlehandedly! Japan RULES! And we thought he only brought ramen (Deutsch-go!) to the flight!

    First rule of effective business: If the process is good the product will be perfect. Start by auditing: The Police, The Defense Agency, The Land Transport & Infrastructure Ministry, The Japan Highways Agency, etc. etc. etc. Throwing incomplete technology into poor processes guarantees a cock-up.

    And, of all people, John "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" McCain should know, when people feel pain, they'll tell you anything you want to hear just to make it stop. The USSA has become everything it despises; an undemocratic, theocratic dictatorship. How DARE they lecture the world on human rights.

    "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

    Doesn't say "Americans" only. Says "ALL"

    The only person I know who received an apology from someone he just shot in the face, is the Dickster himself. Check his vacation photos here...http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/photoessays/outdoors/06.html The United States of Torture, with zero moral high-ground from which to lecture China or anyone else about human rights.

    Believe it or not, carbon is not poison, Oxygen is a carcinogen, and Carbon recovery and sequestration is seismically dangerous. Following a trend, all be it fashionable, but highly unscientific, Japan has proven that it doesn't know diddly. The G8 Summit will be a disaster! (Read Lovelock's, "The Revenge of Gaia".)

    Great question! Japan! In China they get a bullet behind the ear. In Japan they get promoted. In Europe they retire to Crete!

    Two items: Yes, Zapatero has produced better growth in Europe, after Ireland....while the bread lines in the USA lengthen, and No, H.E. President Ahmedinejad has never said the holocaust was a myth. He simply questioned (a) who did it, and (b) how many and who were the victims. He also asked, "Why, if the Palestinians were not involved, should they be punished for it?" Damn good questions! The answers are simple: (a) Hertzl's Zionists with Nazi assistance, (b) way less than 6 million, and not all of them Jews, (271,000 at Ozviecim by ICRC records) and more at other camps. So why displace innocent people? Simple, a Zionist agenda that enslaves America for "Israel's" benefit...happy now?

    Amb. Ryan Crocker's testimony has been characterized in some US media as a "Crocker of Shiite." Nose pegs anyone?
