There are only two ways for Iraq to go, better or worse. I wonder which it will be. Hope for the best, fear for the worst.

Why? Because Japan saw all of its neighbours come under colonial boots and decided not to be colonized. To that end, after the Meiji restoration Japan rapidly industrialized and came the conclusion that to remain free industry was not enough but the means of industry, i.e. raw materials needed to be secured.
Japan needed to be a military power to remain free and needed to use its military to secure resources at all costs.
After Korea was granted independence from China under the Treaty of Shimonoseki and other concessions were made to Japan the Triple Intervention forced Japan to give up most of the other concessions at which time the European powers expanded their influence and seized Chinese cities, ports and Russia grabbed the Liaodong Peninsula.
The humiliation Japan suffered and the behavior of the powers turned Japan away from just seeking economic ties with its neighbours but outright colonization.
The independent Korean Empire created in 1897 was an easy target for colonization and if Japan did not make a move, another country would and Japan would be shut out of trade.

It seems to me Japan only executes prisoners when they get old enough to start drawing a pension or a random choice. I can imagine somebody waking from the justice ministry who cut cut off on his way home from work picking a name out of a hat of the prisoners to be killed the next day.
The biggest "trouble" with capital punishment in Japan is that inmates are locked up for so long under such stress that they all go insane.
It is like they wait until the prisoners have gone insane before they execute them.
Japan needs to cease this barbaric practice.

Let this be a lesson, there are better things to spend a country's treasure on than nuclear weapons. Yes, it is a terrible flood but I will not feel one stitch of sympathy for anyone in Pakistan until they give up their nuclear weapons.
Too bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Israel was thinking of attacking, it will be too late after today. Once the fuel rods are loaded any attack will result in massive radiation exposure over a huge area, spreading to India. It is estimated that at least 3 million people would die within two weeks and 35 million would die from cancer over the following years.

I thought the US deported criminals. Why didn't they take his green card and kick him out of the country.

Funny, if a woman does something like this people run to her defense, "oh she must have serious mental problems and needs therapy," but if the perpetrator is a man people think he is "evil" and want to string him up.

I think "scumbag" is a little string to describe a man who bought pictures of an 18 year old.
