  Actually RepublicofTexas, there is no Korean maps or documents showing the existence of Liancourt Rocks before Japan's 1905 annexation.

  That's why I said that it is debated as to which island the maps refer to. I never said that I believed the maps said they were Korean.

  I sympathize with Britain's position, but it's not like these sickos are specifically targeting British women.

  Well, US beef is already being sold in Japan. When US beef is being sold in S.Korea - neutrality is achieved! hehe!

  Too bad there's little or no connection to the island dispute.

  This is documented as Korean territory since the 16th century.

  It is debated as to which island the Korean texts refer to. Also, who's to say that South Korea is the legitimate successor to the Kingdom of Joseon? Lastly, who cares even if Korea owned the islands in the 16th…

  To sell them US beef!

  That might explain why the US did it, but it doesn't explain why it's still called neutrality but then again the US gov't rarely makes sense anymore.

  First of all the Japan's claim to the islands i just as good a that of the Koreans. Second, MASSWIPE, who cares if Japan is richer? That doesn't mean the Koreans deserve the islands, neither country is socialist. Third, the US seems to be violating its position of neutrality. How…

  The IOC made a huge mistake choosing Beijing. The city has horrible air quality and now it seems the entire PLA is going to be out in force in Beijing.

  I think that is an unfair generalization. The American people are not anymore selfish than people from other countries. Also every government is looking out for their own interests, so the American gov't isn't anymore selfish than other gov'ts. It just seems like the Americans are selfish b/c they are…

  similar meeting in Nanjing.

  The difference between Nanjing and Hiroshima or Nagasaki is that while the Japanese don't use the cities as a symbol of anti-Americanism, the Chinese use Nanjing to focus their anti-Japanese sentiment. However, if the Chinese are willing to act rationally, i don't see why the Japanese…

  I think they'll be about the same, both for the Japanese people and for the Japanese gov't.
