The ironic thing is that the Chinese Defence Ministry okayed the C-130 flights, and it was the Chinese Foreign Ministry which nixed it cuz of the rabid PRC internet hordes. Chinese bloggers sure aren't doing much to improve their country's image, but then again that's pretty universal.

What matter is…

I can think of a number now..

'Lonely Highwayman'

Bono: I would like to dedicate this song to all the Highway Booth workers in Japan who are hated on for collecting tolls for an already paid off expressway, but are soooo un-appreciated for their role in reducing polluting cars on…

I think the the Japanese think tanks needed some time to finish the calculations.

Japan doesn't need tanks, E-3 grade personnel armed with cheap katanas or bayonets are more than enough to serve whatever purpose you think they are trying to fulfill.

Ask yourself, what would Ghandi do?

Gandhi would ask the Court for the fullest extent of the penalty carried by the offense and dare the judges to deliver that sentence in the sincerest light of minimum standards of justice or justify it within the context of a free and democratic…

Now if only the Japanese diet would vote to kick out the emperor and funnel the billions of taxpayer yen it costs to support him and his offspring into education, health and the pension system...

You would need a constitutional crisis for that to happen anytime soon, like the Emperor…

NeoJamal, I dont think you understand how the world works. Japan has always had the "military capabilities" of even this level. Just because they are actually doing it doesn't incite war, let alone during a time of strife. Something that originally the Japanese offered, then the Chinese thought about and…

Wow, the most contrived analogy made by the most dillusioned President in US history. The factor of contrivity could lie almost as much as J-nationalists purpoting that Japanese imperialism liberated Asia. I wonder how many people on JT will defend the analogy before the end of the day. In the…

why so many suicides in Japan? Forseen indigence or un-treated mental illness. Japan is neither a welfare state nor have adequate psychiatric healthcare at both public and NGO levels. Friends, family and the closer community at large don't take those inflictions into consideration beyond gossip behind the back of those…

Why should western governments encourage investment in creating manufacturing jobs in Africa that would mean loss of existing or new jobs for its voters employed in the secondary sector?

Also Fukuda and his LDP cronies know that African governments can't use aid money effectively to build industry but aid does…
