The chief job of the U.S. Secretary of State is foreign relations. Not sure if Hillary is the best choice for the task. But other countries may feel we have stepped back about 8 years on our foreign policy, and I cannot see that as anything but good.

My feelings…

mcheeky, The Japanese government needs to make amends, that is without question, but to be told that by a bunch of hypocrits will just get their backs up and, therefore, make them less likely to move on the issue.

Dualta, the Japanese have had more than sixty years to move.…

And the British Government shouldn't stick it's nose in other peoples business.

I would not consider having an opinion and voicing it to be sticking one's nose in other people's business. Passing a binding resolution to force Japan by means of some punishment to apologize, now that would be sticking…

Ditto for my work; it requires enormous concentration that would be impossible to maintain if I had to be ready to respond to some moron bursting in with a gun on a moment's notice.

So this idea that bullet restriction is somehow responsible the low gun crime rate doesn't hold water. But nice try.

Then why don't YOU tell us why and tell us how you plan to apply that the the U.S.?

But, but, but....I thought Taiwan was part of China! Well, so much for that theory. China has just admitted Taiwan is a separate country. Oops!

Laws restricting guns in society only apply to law abiding citizens and does little in taking weapons away from the criminally minded.

Its not so much those who have guns right now. Its about those who will get them in the future. If the legal sale and manufacture of guns…

the founding fathers were stupid not to put in stipulations that prevented what has come to be today

Don't blame the American Founding Fathers for failing to predict over 200 years ago what can easily be seen today. There are plenty of amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as the Founding…
