Let them test away. Unfortunately we can't do anything unless Iran does something aggressive and targets someone elses territory.

I love tatoo art but not too fond of full body unless it looks REALLY good. Not too fond of the crappy tattoos most of the folks in the US or EU get. Of course the age thing is a factor but still a well done tattoo is a sight to behold.
She's got great color in her tattoo but I can't make hide nor hair of what it is she's got on her body lol. Seems she's got the back and thighs done but she's kept it off her neck and just under her elbows so it doesn't show when she's doing OL or other work in an official business atmosphere.

Rio does sound good because they've never hosted it before in their area.

Heh, and people keep saying the world doesn't expect the US to solve their problems. Whatta joke... As far as Egypt and UAE are concerned they would take out Isreal if it didn't come back to bite them in the arse internationally. They only see Isreal as a Western creation and think the US and other "western" countries to deal with their creation, in spite of the fact that the Palestinians were kinda their own creation.

Diplomacy for as much "peace" as you can get is a hard pill to swallow. While it would be nice if the US could just solve the worlds problems on its own, we can't.

By golly, she's going to have to delve into a lot more than that. Compromise without giving away too much from your own country is the name of the game with international affairs don'tcha know. She needs to visit ALL the countries the US has ties with and get the gist of where they're coming from before I'll even lend a brain cell to listen to her again.

I like your thinking Rajakumar. If the other well to do member nations in the UN could actually pull up their bootstraps and do more support then great things can realy truely happen. The US obviously can't shoulder the load to all major issues.

I dunno, but one simple thing could fix this problem. There are alternative power sources that Iran could use beside nuclear. I don't even know if they've fixed the nuclear waste issue or just swept it under a rug. Solar, geothermal, and wind just to name a few. Iran's in a very hot hot hot area and they have to have enough wind somewhere.

That has been exactly what they've been doing. The method has been for them to destroy any Pakistan government run schools, then create their own Islamic ideology run "schools" which doesn't allow female and teaches boys only to keep thinking their way. This has been going on for quite a while in Pakistan.

Still adoption would be the best choice. While it may not go over well in Japan, many want to be parents over seas would probably be able to step up with that.
This is so damned frustrating hearing more news like this. Single mother in Japan, while not condoning her actions she's probably feeling helpless due to their social moors on women without husbands or boyfriends to look after them so to speak. I was raised in a single parent household and luckily my mother had career opportunities to support the home and raise me without feeling that sense of "I need a man to take care of me or I can't live" mentality.

Hmm, not that Ms.Ando's personal relationship interests me, but still I wish some of these women would wise up more about men who are apparantly not all that great. I'd never marry a divorcee, let alone date unless I myself was divorced. This mans' been around the marriage block 3 times at 33? wow theres gotta be a serious issue there, and seems like he's used to taking advantage of naive ones.

@ gonemad because they're being tried under religious law. Simple fact, if religion gets free reign over goverment law this is what happens and true justice will usually get overlooked for blind theocratic dictatorship by religious ideology.

Animalover it doesn't matter to me if they only penalize Muslims, it matters to me that they penalize anyone for such a thing and then tag on bizarre capital punishment to boot. Any country like that I will avoid at all costs. I'd even hang out in China before I'd kick it in Malaysia due to religious influence in government laws.

Wait, everyone has right to free speech including the prez. As they said, it was off the record not in a speech, not in an interview etc. Off air time means OFF AIR. Jeez, someone always comes up with something "controversial" to be an ass. This isn't news.
