    nanda, unless they pay the drone pilot who fired the missile, I guess it's not likely to change hands.

    While I welcome success in fighting armed ciminals, the best way to fight fundamentalism is actually not with missile and bullets, but to make the alternatives look much more attractive to…

    NeoJamal,

    What has home-grown terrorism in Britain got to do with the atomic bombings of Japan? That's totally irrelevant and off topic, and for the sake of a lame attempt at point scoring I think you may be ignoring the subject here.

    Also irrelevant are the rights and wrongs of…

    I wonder if their Japanese hosts will acknowledge the massive death and suffering that the Imperial Army imposed on local populations as they "liberated" large swathes of Asia, and the inhuman conditions that they placed prisoners of war in, working to death thousands of British POWs in disgusting conditions?

    Presumably…

    Looks like Arnie will go the same way as Gray Davis without the "help" of Enron and Dubya lying to support his position. Davis, you may remember, got clobbered for cutting the State budget because Bush's crooked friends forced California to buy electricity at premium rates. I wonder how forgiving…

    ...and Thaksin Shinawatra is a "fit and proper person" to own Manchester City football club, according to the British F.A.! Hilarious. The allegations against this man and his family are numerous and detailed.

    The problem with taxis isn't too much regulation, it's not enough! A sensible limit to their numbers and setting an exam which requires demonstration of proper geographical knowledge of where they are picking up fares would be a great start. Then instead of numerous oyaji taxi drivers with a poor…

    Ha ha - quite right Altria. It's dead expensive when you live in the expat lebensraum of Hiroo or Azabu and you can only get 100 sq.m for JPY 1 million a month in rent. And even Filipina maids to look after Junior are SOOOO much more expensive here... (rolls…

    The U.S. approach to North Korea has encouraged the Iranians to work faster than ever on their bomb programme, because the Iranians know that you get treated with some respect once you can prove your capability. I would be much more worried about the situation in Pakistan, a verified nuclear…

    supuncho and taikan, I think that your assessments aren't fair. You're obviously not aware of the numerous other credible news sites on the web that report scandalous and / or salacious news items, even if their print edition is relatively conservative in its content.

    I think the point here is…
