Restaurants in Tokyo too expensive? I went to a French Bistro in Paris last summer and had some French fries with a steak and a glass of wine. 60 euros!!!

I don't know anymore how to make your penny drop. Maybe you could read Alan Greenspan's book "The Age Of Turbulence" to find out if I'm "just venting BS on the net".
I rest my case.

I guess mikehuntez and Klein2 missed the fact that I did NOT talk about the military operation on the Korean Peninsula by the UN. In fact I talked about the "so-called" help the AMERICANS offered Europe (after liberation) through the Marshall Plan.

Wrong! It was a program of the US. Check it, and you'll see those facts ARE right.

mikehuntez:
And after liberating Europe demanding the countries they liberated to fight with them in the Korean War otherwise they could simply kiss goodbye to aid from the Marschall Plan.
Indeed, another one can be chalked up for the good ol' USof A.

Imagine what would happen if Japan would double their ground troops on said islands let's say next week or next month. Just try to imagine what could happen.

Japan has enough rare earths in stock. Maybe they might be relieved by the fact they can keep it in stock. Anyway, no reason for the government or businesses to feel stressed.

More and more your comments are getting over the top, Smith. At least try to keep some objectivity.

If the second Chinese swimmer wouldn't have taken off too early (the reason for disqualification AND for finishing just a fraction before Japan) Japan would have won as well, looking at the close finish.

But the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing said they respect the way Myanmar chooses it's own way to develop. Funny, isn't it?

In front of those students in Mumbai Obama also criticized the elections in Myanmar as being not free and unfair. It seems Japan is NOT a spokesman for the US of A, as someone else said on another thread. Chuckle.

The Dalai Lama got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. Lui Xiaobo is the first Chinese (although in a Chinese prison because the guys in Beijing think in a different way about peace than people with common sense) to be rewarded.

True, they haven't crashed yet. But they have quite a long list of incidents and accidents. Besides, the only airliner in the world that hasn't crashed? You gotta be kidding, right?

It was the QF32 from London. Could have been the same plane that had problems with its front landing gear last year at Heathrow when the pilot decided to do a "go-around". Qantas had a similar engine problem with a 747 at SFO. Maintenance? The A380 might be a new plane but it had quite some fuel and computer glitches that grounded several A380s. Last November an Air France A380 had to return to JKF because of navigation problems.
