Though I have been watching Japan's position at the six way talks when it started, I think one needs to go back to when former PM Koizumi brought abductees back to Japan, and reneged on returning them. It was an odd set of events and it points to an unspoken…

Though I harp on this somewhat, it may be irrelevant today as it was during the Red Scare:

US Bill of Rights

Amendment IV

**The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no…

Well, this Administration can concentrate on the Middle East, as w/ the G8 b/c this is the APEC Realm - we are working together and getting the job done. We are kicking the holy crap out of poverty and disease. The past can't be changed, but the future definately can…

Though his tenure was tumultuous, he is on the verge of closing in on the last major remnant of the Cold War - the 6way talks and the DPRK. His Administration will be noted for participating and engendering an important security dialogue which may develop into something more important -…

What is the best way for Japan and North Korea to resolve the abduction issue?

The best way is for the 6way talks to reach a settlement over the nuclear issue. With the settlement, the latent emotions of the past wars can be addressed. The problems w/ the past can…

I have been researching this car situation for a looooooooong time. The deeper the situation is examined, the more it looks too complex to resolve overnight. When Toyota was in dire straits, I gave them advice, and they were able to act immediately. I also know that the people leading…

The six-nation framework is reaching its successful conclusion and Japan would be wise to try working w/ the dynamics involved. The abduction issue is important, but to have the DPRK to have some accountability in it's nuclear development is a higher priority. Hopefully, the last remnant of the Cold War…

I would think going for weeks w/out soy sauce, for some Japanese athletes, would be strange.

To Kinniku:

It's really involved. I'm in a strange situation where I was until recently being fed sensitive info. It's only in the last few years that these govt. people quit talking to me. Surveillance is very tight, it reminds me of the Cold War. I receive no assistance from…

Though I can see some constraints placed on acquiring guns, I love the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I can see the beauty behind the documents.
