"Karzai... called on the U.S. and the United Nations to bring to justice those who burned the holy book"
What punishment would Karzai seek? More than a slap on the wrist I'll bet. More likely off with their heads.
"how sick the ideology of Islam truly is"
You mean like girls being betrothed at the age of 9, or...

"the water trade"
Being as how I'm not involved in this whatsoever, I had to look this up. The sex trade. From Japanese mizu-shobai.

Last week or so I said a supermarket near me was selling 1-liter containers of milk for 348 yen, I imagine some people thought I was just spreading false rumors, but it was in fact the truth.

"we might have to give up lives for the greater good"
This is what war is. It sucks, but otherwise the entire world would be enslaved.

Yes, rumor spreading and general meanness should be prosecutable offenses.
"I bought as much as I could take with me"
It was evident that more than a few people did that in my local supermarket a couple of weeks ago.

"Assad inherited power"
Just like Kim Jong Il.
4 decades of Assad... no wonder Syrians are tired of this.

"rejoicing tinged with sadness"
At hanami party:
For all those who perished, who lost loved ones, lost their homes and businesses, are still shivering in evacuation centers - Kampai!
I think hanami parties and parties of any kind should be put on hold until the situation vastly improves in Tohoku.

"because some guy burns a bunch of paper with marks on it"
But that bunch of paper with the marks on it is sacred/holy!

I'll bet the family members and friends of those murdered 4 Nepalese guards and the other 3 foreigners are seriously pissed off at those murderers.
"Death to America"
Because a few zealots in Florida burned a Koran? That's a bit harsh, isn't it?

"Gadhafi struck a defiant stance"
Given his track record, I wouldn't have expected him to strike a conciliatory stance.
"Gadhafi is not a monster"
That Libyan woman I saw on TV who lost her son to Gadhafi's goons would disgaree.
Gadhafi doesn't need all this aggravation, lol.

"he ( 3-year-old boy ) had been noisy that day"

Very nice gesture by the emperor and empress.
The guy's mask is useless in that position.
I hear the emperor has insisted on having blackouts at his place in Otemachi to share the burden.
