  Sarge: "Is this the failed invasion that has brought to justice the awful dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and provided conditions for free elections resulting in a government that doesn't threaten its neighbors?"

  1. The original mission was to rid Saddam of WMDs...not playing the hero by violating international laws…

  I see nothing wrong with her comments. She simply expressed her opinions on the character that she plays, not disrespecting any victims.

  It is more surprising that she won the award despite her nationality - kudos to the organizers to award the prize based upon merit.

  If she grew up in Japan, writing eloquently in Japanese shouldn't be too much of a problem. There are plenty of people in the world that…

  I think Raj is trying to say that the common link between billionaires is "talent". Otherwise, the statement is completely ridiculous.

  "Let 'em starve"...nice way of separating the government's actions from it's people. What did the NK citizens do to deserve such scorn? In most countries, people do not have a direct way of influencing their government's decisions. This is especially true in the case of NK.

  I don't see the harm in discussing it over "cookies and milk". She may have had tunnel vision, and not see or think clearly because of it. Not knowing her family or school situation, it's hard to say one way or another. But most seemingly insurmountable problems your average 16…

  This situation brings up the old adage about teaching a man to fish vs. giving him a fish. The "best" way to help develop the continent is not going to be any one single solution but a multi-pronged solution that addresses several deficiencies at once. Chief amongst these solutions would…
