Perhaps in future, US troops could just hover over Japan until needed.

I can't believe the nerdy comments above. Of course the question means 'an android phone'... JT…

Amazing opinion. No wonder men think they can get away with it...Girls or ladies should just stand there and just "pretend like nothing unusual is happening"?

I would think her last minutes (and seconds) would have been very horrific. How could they have been otherwise?

and name like Gingrich and Romney don't exactly inspire confidence either. I hope the Democrats stay in power until at least 2020.

I'm with you. Just hearing the names Bush, Palin, and McCain make me realize how messed up the US is...the fact that such people can become nominated for the presidency in the first place is absolutely shocking.

You obviously have no idea what Peace Boat is all about. Their main thing is 3-month trips around the world for young people (generally) and the itineraries are really interesting. Israel, Libya, North Korea, Easter Island, Kenya, Vietnam and so on. The idea is to increase awareness and understanding between cultures and that is a good thing.

I guess he means that even if victims have cash, it doesn't necessarily mean they can buy and cook what they want because there is still no gas, electricity and water in some areas. Especially kids who have lost parents and elderly people who can't manage on their own. That is why Peace Boat needs money to be able to cook meals for these people and cover their transportation costs. Makes sense to me.

Not really into the death penalty but in this case it's pretty hard to feel bad about Bin Laden being gone. If he had been taken alive, I wouldn't want to have been his defense lawyer! Pity that it couldn't have happened much earlier so the Iraq and Afghanistan situations could have been avoided. But kudos to the guys who finally got him. Hopefully it is all true.....the "buried at sea" bit worries me a bit.

Shocking double standards by NATO and the U.S. Nobody is rushing in to stop the leaders in countries like Sudan and Congo from massacring their own people in huge numbers compared to Libya.

Amazing how everyone seems to have forgotten that this all started as just enforcing a no-fly zone, not an invasion which it seems to have turned into. Big difference between a no-fly zone being enforced than repeated bombing of a sovereign state... I thought Obama had said the U.S. would never attack another country (Iraq-style) unless that country attacked the U.S. Very disappointing. Oil speaks very loudly.

It's a greart pic. Kim is just showing her disappointment at not winning. Nothing strange about that if you consider they practice for hours and hours every day. Of course there is a lot of pressure on her to win. Simple as that.

"Never underestimate the stupidity of the people who gave the nation George W. Bush. They're out there in droves."

Blame the writers in the media who have active imaginations and need sensational titles in order to be noticed and make money. Likewise for the newspapers and TV channels who lap it all up and sell it to their audiences.

Yes, the title is a bit misleading. The optometrists are saying that the Nintendo 3DS could actually help diagnose kids with eye problems but some ophthalmologists are saying otherwise.

He still creates waves and stimulates debate wherever he goes so, like him or not, he is relevant to any discussion he decides to take part in. I respect him for his anti-gun stance and for contributing to the debate on the US health insurance system.

It has always surprised me that people can still get into so much trouble (legally and otherwise) by just mentioning the Nazis and Hitler. There have been many other cases of massacres in history but only the Holocaust seems to be off limits. One wonders why some seem to get tempted to have these anti-Semitic rants...What is the underlying reason?

It is very sad and unfair. The poor baby was born just 17 days after the first strong quake in Christchurch in September. Too little to know what happened but far too young to die. He was just getting started on this short trip we call "life"...

It's very similar to the US media. I recall a scene on CNN where parents' children had been killed and they reporters would ask questions like, "Could you tell us what it feels like to lose a child?" and so on. Unbelievable but that is the way the US media is. I guess Japan isn't far behind.

If they were airplane pirates (i.e. hijackers), guards wouldn't hesitate to shoot them. Of course, if the cargo is oil and the pirates have rocket launchers, that does make it trickier to stop them but I guess they actually have to get on board the ship in order to hijack it so put a couple of well-armed, well-trained Steven Seagal-types on each ship.....problem solved!
