I've visited a mate in a Japanese prison and, trust me, they are no picnic by anyone's standards. If you have the misfortune to ever be incarcerated in one, prepare yourself for something akin to the Chinese water torture (and I hope you like seiza).

I'm sorry, but if Israel attacks and the Americans automatically side with her, why shouldn't the Chinese/Russians or whoever side with the Iranians? I'm sick of this right wing American love affair with all things Israeli, and the way the Israelis exploit this misguided love to furrther their illegal behaviours in the Middle East.

Well said Smithy. Whenever I think of how kizuna is being abused to justify all kinds of abuses, I am reminded of that line from Kipling's poem "If": "If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken, Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools"
Knew a thing or two about human nature did Mr. Kipling!
