Her ex-husband in US will be arrested if she/they did not apply the marriage report to local government/city hall of her town in Japan. If not, he will be another wacko under Japan's law. This is completely different from NKorea abduction case. As long as she ignores the US court order and also they keep staying here, there is not much about it. the American court order will be not effective in Japan.

America easily bankrupts such companies, but Japan not easily bankrupts them because Japan is rather socialism country and it is capitalism as well. America is 100 percent capitalism, like stronger easily kills weaker and poorer

I think that taxpayers' money should not be used to bail out JAL. The government used to support lots of money for JAL for many years in the past and also Japan Airline is a symbol of Japan. It seems to be not easy to let JAL bankrupt. If JAL were bankrupted, ANA would raise fares of tickets exclusively, eventually no more competition between JAL and ANA.

In the future CO2 of the US and China will doom all people and animals if they don't reduce CO2 as much as possible from today as long as there are not targets of emission cut of CO2.

It is very easy to say that Hatoyama could not make it to reduce 25 percent by 2020. But we must do it from now, otherwise we will be surely ended much shorter than dinosaurs age. Are we humans smarter?

I don't understand why people don't like Obama's health care plan for all people. All people can go to hospitals if the legislation is passed. It is very amazing that 47 million people do not have health insurances in America. Here in Japan all people have national health insurance, so they can go to hospitals. They pay only 30 percent of total medical cost and government will take care of 70 percent of it. I'm happy about it.

Hallways seem to be comfortable place for homeless people to sleep with papers. These should be available for them.

No countries even the US could extirpate all radical, extreme Taliban if we think those people are problem to plant a stable peace and a democracy among many Islamic tribes in Afghanistan. Radicals do not want such a peace given by western countries. They want to get organized Afghanistan by their own way and want to make a peace there by their own way. Taliban say that Afghanistan used to be a poor country but a peaceful country before invasion of Soviet, the US,,,,.

Around 1980s Soviet tried to conquer Afghanistan. The US supported a lot of US weapons to Islamic Taliban. Bin Ladin was a very good friend to the US. Finally Soviet failed and all troops returned to Soviet. Why the US is doing same mistake? I think the best way is let Afghan people handle their own country from the beginning. Why the US has been sticking the nose into Afghanistan? Because of 911? Bull! Much more people are still dying than 911.

Is there worth fighting and dying there in Afghanistan for more years? maybe forever? I think Taliban will never accept American democracy.

I think that Afghanistan would be another Vietnam. Think how many young American soldiers died for nothing in Vietnam for many years. It does not matter whether Vietnam people like Americans or not today. Think how many US soldiers will be died for nothing in Afghanistan in the future. I just wonder how long and how many there. Your number will be up sooner or later.

Japan has been infiltrated democracy of America enough for decades. Mr. Hatoyama used to be a member of LDP. To me, LDP and DPJ are basically same, but the ways they are doing are different. DPJ thinks Asian countries especially China are more important than America. That seems to be different from the point of LDP's view.

Japan will not need such too large US Bases and too many soldiers there, but It needs little for US-Japan alliance.

Vietnam war was a long fight there for 8,9 or10 years? I wonder how many US soldiers died for nothing/in vain? Look at Vietnam today, Much much better than before without intervention of the US. Now the US tries to look to Vietnam war experience for today'US war. It seems to be too late, I wonder how many soldiers have died for nothing there so far? In the first place, why American soldiers are fighting there anyway? Are they international police? Or saviors?

NKorea will get much food from the US. That's why 2 journalists were released. There were no negotiations about nukes, 6 party talks, etc. NKorea just wants food as winter will come soon.
