Both Bush and Obama have made a hash of dealing with Pakistan. Obama is completely oblivious to the idea that the drone attacks were (are) turning public opinion in Pakistan against the US. Now the ISI will be even more paranoid and probaby exert more influence as well. And why didn't the US get this doctor and his family the heck out of Pakistan before the ISI closed in? In both instances Obama has demonstrated his willingness to let an ally and friend hang. It's no wonder the Pakistani's are upset.
But yeah, it would be ironic for China to start giving arms to Pakistan just to have Pakistan export terrorists to China.

It might not stop the SS guys from taking to the sea again but it will put a dent in Watson's personal fortune, I hope.

OK, enough of the Sky Tree already. There has to be good photos of other subjects. And yeah, I agree that while everybody else is trying to conserve electricity that all that lighting is over the top.

Climbing Everest has become big business in spite of the risks. I wonder if the people involved really understand what they are up against. But it's their decision.

Banning a thing has never solved the problem. It just changes to a different problem.

I don't see anything that Japan can do that is going to change the minds of the S. Koreans who want to castigate Japan at every opportunity. Best to just walk away and let the S. Koreans stew.
On the other hand there is no reason to give up on sanctions against N. Korea. Two different topics, Yuri.

Interesting pic. Must have been a very wide angle lens. Amusing to see the sky tree look small.

Sodesuka is right and, to expand on this, as long as people are willing to pay money for sex, drugs, gambling, etc. there will be crime organizations who are willing to provide it. While legalization might solve some of the problems it will cause others. It's an ongoing debate as to which is the lesser of two evils. But, in this case, slavery is never right.

Has anybody ever seen a big military contract that didn't run way over cost? I would like to see this project succeed but Lockheed-Martian has to have a responsibility to the bottom line as well.

I would view shark finning as a waste and I am ambiviant about whaling within the IWC "limits" but I have no use for Watson's theatrics. He's gotten rich by pulling off dangerous stunts that happen to be illegal in some cases. I have no idea if this case will stand up but we'll see.

Yeah, I agree with Yuri. If Putin is too busy setting up his dictatorship send Biden to meet with Medvedev. A little tit for tat and no mint or wind chimes included.

Jeepers, Putin is starting to have tantrums ala Kim Jong Il. Is he channeling the dear departed pipsqueek? Not that Russia has a lot to offer by the way of help for the Euro crisis and I doubt they want to chat about the missile shield. So now Obama can ignore the lap dog Medvedev and return the snub....

Yeah, there's really no rule of law in China except for the gold rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. This kind of thing is only getting worse as the Chinese leadership tries to hold onto their power. It doesn't bode well for doing business in China.

Oi, how is the technology going to improve if you need a panel to decide if you can tweak something. Sounds like America's cup yacht racing. Or NASCAR. Like watching paint dry....
