    There is no question that the regime in Burma has got to be overthrown and the military scum responsible for outrages against their people should be given fair and impartial trials and if found guilty executed as humanely as possible so that they cannot ever have a chance to get…

    Pronoucements like these show that McCain is a doddering idiot, a Vietnam Era fossil, a Cold War dinosaur. Worst than that he is an extension of George W. Bush's and the Neocons' destructive view of foreign policy.

    Yes, by 2013 all will be well. In your dreams.

    First question: How does McCain know victory can be won by 2013. Next question, what does he mean by victory? Third question, at what cost? I am asking this from what I would imagine to be an American perspective.

    My not American perspective is that this guy sounds like Nixon…

    Stallone is nauseating, as is his character Rambo.

    Rambo is the product of sour grapes: the American defeat in Vietnam. The Stallone argument is that the Americans did not kill enough people in Vietnam, which Rambo attempts to do alone. And that is the Stallone solution to everything. Kill enough…

    Thank you Dan Manjt. Note that the that the first quote is from 1927, when Hitler was fighting for power. The Socialists were a strong and popular power. The reality is that Hitler was not an enemy of capitalism after all. Certainly not in relation to his own finances. Hitler…

    Oh yes, I also agree with I rock. The poster who begins his posting with, "Mr. Scott.....what's the deal?" is unfortunately typical of the sort of bootlicking Japanophile that this country and this world could do without. What's the deal? indeed. The man was socked in the face.

    I was assaulted twice, not seriously thank goodness, on Japanese trains. Once in Kansai and once in Tokyo. Overcrowded trains are easy breeding places for violent behavior. The good thing is that they are not as violent as they could be.

    By the by, editors, you forgot to give this…

    Where did Hayek get that quote? And what is the context?

    Hitler said a lot of things. One thing he said (I paraphrase from memory) was that National Socialists and Marxism differ in that the former believes in private property and and the latter does not. True socialists, said Hitler,…

    Sucks. Blew the last sentence, which should read "As such, he is a cancer not only on the US but the world as well."
