    Leaflets have been sent since the 50s. Not doing anything shows complacency. That is not an option.

    Wow! This happened exactly the same in Canada years ago. The PM stepped down and all of a sudden we had a female PM. There has not been an elected female PM since.

    Sending leaflets in balloons giving encouragement to the NKoreans to revolt is the only thing to do. I applaud the SKorean and Japanese activists. This has been done many times in the past and the activists need to keep doing it. Remember that this is not a governmental scheme so KJI need not blame them... though he certainly will.

    The only way to get shorty is from inside as I have said many times before. He can't exactly send a missile on top of himself. Imagine a NK underground movement.

    For those who say Japan shouldn't get involved have no idea about history. Japan committed more atrocities in the northern part of Korea (North Korea) during Japan's annexation of Korea. There is no doubt NK still has Japan on its target.

    @ YuriOtani,

    Not all SKoreans hate the Japanese. There are many connections with Japan, both familial and cultural. I know many Japanese that feel totally comfortable and have great experiences there. They were probably out to "get" just you. LOL

    Karzai's comments already has him half way over the wall to the Taliban side. Why do we allow him to have his position when he thinks he can't make a difference.

    The vets want to die in peace. So many soldiers that were part of past atrocities, either directly or indirectly, eventual fess-up to what they've done or what they've seen. Most of their fellow soldiers are dead and they don't have to worry about their scrutiny; and they realized too long ago that their emperor was no god. Even the Japanese soldiers know the truth can't be hidden... although some here still deny history and blame the victims.

    Good for Mirai. After the bloody nose during the Olympics she deserves a chance at the lead.

    The Olympics is over and it's back to individual efforts. It has nothing to do with the country making excuses.

    Five meter snake-like fish for food? Count me out. I can barely eat unagi as it is. That's over 16 feet! That's a sea creature I wouldn't want to run into anywhere, let alone look at it!

    I just had to google the image and it's sooo ugly, it's fugly!! I'm staying out of the water for awhile...

    Ahmadinejad isn't about radical islam. He's just a stupid joke for the Iranian people. I'm sure everyone understands why there is a huge dissatisfaction with this poster boy for idiocy. Iranians are themselves embarrassed just like the Venezuelans are embarrassed of Hugo Chavez. They divide the world by inflaming others instead of using diplomacy. There are some things that just shouldn't be said out loud, ie. that almost 3000 dead people of 9/11 are a lie... that the holocaust never happened... that Iran isn't enriching uranium for the purpose of mass destruction. If Ahmadinejad learned to read instead of looking at the Sunday funnies, he would know what a fool he's been...

    The Russians have been trashing Vancouver with how horrible the Olympic venues are in their Olympic website. They have posted an article from a British writer who wrote prior to the games that the Vancouver olympics may be the worst winter games. Not so say most of the athletes! Putin is a bitter and feeble "prince" wearing nothing but a tin crown. Anyway, the Russian athletes gave it their all like any other athlete from any other nation. They just fell short... more money Putin!!

    @ sabiwabi,

    What?! Hamas created by Israel? Then Israel was created by Palestinians as a punching bag! Good ficton!!!

    Hassan Yousef is being tortured? Is that a fact? I remember Palestinian lynch mobs torturing and killing captured Israeli soldiers on their city streets, all caught on film. That I have seen with my two eyes. Your accusation that Hassan Yousef is being tortured is just conjecture.

    If you know anything about Macs, you'll have heard of the Modbook by Axiotron. It's an after market modification of a Core 2 Duo MacBook; it uses a pen/stylus (Wacom). There are many articles about it. I thought of getting it myself but costs almost USD$3000 for the mod... plus the cost of your MacBook.

    This mod was a huge draw at MacExpo and is an extremely positive indicator as to whether a new Mac tablet will be a success. Apple, WHEN they deliver the product to market, will have probably bought out Axiotron and its technology and Axiotron will no longer exist. At least that's my opinion from past experience.

    It's true when Apple released Snow Leopard (not a major upgrade), they left out something that would make an awesome Mac even more incredible – touch screen technology. Windows 7 (major upgrade) has it, though most of you can't use it without upgrading your screens. I'm thinking Apples next major upgrade will include this. Apple's version of the tablet will undoubtedly have touchscreen technology instead of it being pen-based. It would certainly be easier to type and navigate.

    Therefore, I believe it's the software side that Apple is trying to tweak to work across the board, not so much hardware (since touch hardware already exists in the form of the iPhone, iPod, etc.). This new GUI will allow iPhone & iPod users to hop on the Mac train due to familiarity. Apple's not a dumb company; in fact marketing geniuses.

    There are many speculations from the name to when it will be released, but I'm sure it will be released in 2010...

    Feed the people first, by way of work! The people of Haiti are proud and amazing that they'll work to support their own. That means they'd rather work than be eating handouts!

    There are too many countries already getting handouts that don't appreciate where it's coming from, let alone care about how much people have to sacrifice to feed the needy of their own communities as well as poorer nations.

    Haiti already is the poorest nation in the west, with little tourism (unlike their neighbour, Dominican Rep.). A strong tourist industry will save them. Imagine New York or Toronto having tourism cut off when there is a disaster and people are fearful of going.

    Now, who are these insensitive people trying to keep Haitians from making an honest buck?!!

    We can support Haiti in many, many ways! Donations are one... tourism is another.

    They'll keep the JAL moniker for sure. It's too hard to compete when you're the new guy... or when they don't recognize your name. Why go through another Datsun-Nissan confusion? Anyway, it's an international brand (not that Datsun wasn't) that is too well known and it's not really a crappy brand, just a crappy company.

    The hope for any airline merger like this is for the major asset, routes (not for planes or manpower).... no one can steal that route from another airline. It's like the airport taxis having a monopoly in big countries; a regular taxi cannot pick up customers at an airport without a special airport license plate.

    JAL has been in the game for long enough to own some of the best (and most direct) routes. The new owner(s) will just have to manage money a bit better. JAL bird may be letting go of some droppings, but it's potential fertilizer for growth by other airlines.

    @peachy871,

    I may have jumped the gun since the incident was from a couple of years ago. I apologize, the anti-whalers were not rammed, but boarded the whaling ship intending to deliver a letter stating that the whalers were breaking international laws.

    The two messengers were dragged aboard as soon as they stepped foot on the whaler. The crew tried to first throw them overboard... they were assaulted, tied and detained them for 2 days without responding to radio contacts.

    The two detainees were called "hostages" as the Japanese gov't had to instruct the release, but the captained refused until his ship was guaranteed safety. The Japanese deny any mistreatment.

    There are proper international laws pertaining to whaling. Unfortunately, the Japanese gov't allows whaling for "scientific" purposes, which means higher quotas than for commercial whaling. Why do the Japanese need more "scientific research" on these animal? This is all smoke & mirrors. No other country is killing that many whales. Are the Japanese studying how to make islands floats like whales to make more island airports? Or maybe a new type of sea vessel the size of the Yamoto. I think we all know that they are being slaughtered for food.

    The last time a major clash happened between anti-whalers and Japanese whalers, the anti-whalers' ship was rammed, the crew picked up out of the water by the Japanese whalers and beaten on board the whaling ship.

    I suppose this guy could be Korean, but most old Korean and Japanese men sound very similar when they are speaking English as many others could attest.

    @Altria, Nice that you don't know the difference. It's even nicer you "stole" your Hermes suit. Humour us less.

    These vipers called Taliban are the devil's own henchmen; they make a living out of war and drugs and killing. Power is all that they crave. Al-Qaida is in direct support of the Taliban, which makes them the same vile creatures. Look at yourselves and be proud that you wear other peoples' blood as you will surely be welcomed in hell. There is no place for these idiots anywhere on earth. These clowns have nothing to do with religion.
