"but how can the man have been responsible when he had been on the job only ieght months before it occurred, when his predecessor had been on for eight, had the chance to get bin Laden, and let him go?"
Now he has been eight years like his predecessor. Bin Laden is still invisible as smoke. He failed like his predecessor.
President Bush has been a worst President of the USA. He lied, exagerrated & cheated everyone including Collin Powell.The USA and the world, are broke & bankrupt now because of him.

It is true that some Asian nations are apprehensive about china naval expansion. In the reality, their navy has a long way to go. For building air craft carriers & Sub marines require massive amount of billions & decades. China's raders, sona sounder & sattelite navigation are inferior. They do not need to spend the fortunes for unreliable navy. Missiles are faster & more precised than air craft carriers.
MITRIV (Multiple Indepently Targetable re-entry Vehicles) are more useful than carriers. If they are wise they have to invest in cheaper & more efficient alternative. Not to bankcrupt them selves for unpreditable naval force.

UN security council is impotent with Isreal. The reason is big brother is protecting & pampering the small brother. It is a double standard & biased. First Israel did air strike to UN school.
The latest news is UN truck driver for delivering aids was killed by Israel. UN suspended delivery of aids now. The truck had UN flag & UN symbols clearly displayed. The meaning was Isreal is not only fighing with Hamas. Red Cross, Humanitarian organizations & all UN member nations too. UN will always forgive Isreal even all of the staff have been killed.

More whaling will increase more marine reserves.Japan is a victim of negative publicity, unbalanced & unfair treatments from posters. Japan was discovered by whalers if they were not whaling, they will not disover Japan. One Ainu native(non japanese) from Hokkaido told me about that.

You do not realized that Whales are fighting each other too. Why did whales come closer to the costal area like beaches. One is chasing the comfortable temperature. One is fleeing away from their competitors. One is loneliness without the partner. When Wharles are chasing their mate, they produced whale whisper. They said "please do more reserach for us. We needs some scrafices for science".
Moderator: Readers, please stay on topic. Your comments should focus on what is in the story.

Whaling is not only for commercial purpose. More understanding about their habits, movement, life expectancy & fertility.
"Name one species that humans have saved from Nature that wasn't/isn't threatened by human action in the first place (over-hunting, pollution, urban development, global warming, etc)"
More than one for that! Whales, Pandas, salt water crocodiles belongs to this category. There are some human intervention for those species. Such as relocation of whales from beaches.
Some species will extinct whether human save them or not. For Whales, water temperature, polluted sea & competition for territory for each whales are major factors. More scientific research required for sustaining this particular marine species.

Whaling has been existed for centuries. For Norway & Iceland it was their heritage. Vikings like whale meats. You said..
There's also a market for whalemeat, horsemeat, dogmeat, catmeat and fois gras. Your point being...? Remember if I ruled the world there'd be no market for any kind of meat.
For God forbid, if happened pls happen after my expiry date. I like meats.

Sea Shephard men do not look like sensible people. They jumped into the ship like pirates & try to harm the crew. Otherwise, crew will not capture them. If they are real conservationists, they have to sustain all of the rare marine species. Not only this particular stock.
It was just a stunt for five mininutes fame. Besides that Japan is not only whaling nation. If Norway, Demark & Iceland are keep whaling, what is the point for Japan to please those genius people. In the reality, there will be more restrictions for fishery stocks. However I do not think no one or something can stamp out the whaling. It has been exsited for centuries before we were born.

It is just a diplomatic gesture. Conservationist will not care. It will be fruitless.
"It is the whalers who are using violence."
I have watched the TV footage before. Green Peace Protesters threw the acid bottles into the whaling ship. A few of them even went inside the ship. It was not a peaceful protest. It was a confrontation using the force.
