  What judoka Tanimoto showed the world was real judo. Not this pushing and pulling and 'sekoi' thing which has become so common in international judo. She is great and like Flammewerfer I like her not only for what she achieved, but also, maybe even more, for her character and spirit.

  Russia is aiming at hegemony in the area. Georgia's actions gave Russia the excuse they needed. Old habits die hard.

  Bush should shut up. All he is doing is creating more resentment from the Chinese in the last days of his 'leadership'. You can't just dictate US rules to one of the most ancient civilizations in the world. Thinking you are justified to do so is inspired by pure arrogance…

  Tani should be allowed to retire to spend more time with her family. She has a very impressive record in judo, but now it's time younger judoka take over.

  Rules change, textbooks change, history changes. People affect these changes if and when they see the need to. If it results in more convictions of the guilty and fewer of the innocent then that is the way to go.

  The growth will be restricted to the steely heads, if you believe in hair growing on steel.

  Womanizing, infidelity and concubinism (I coined this, sorry) has been part of the culture for a very long time and subsequently been condoned, but times are changing now, for the better.
