Outhousejt,

Forget about the invasion of Iraq prior to the invasion of Iraq it is estimated that some say 500,000 others say 1,5 million people died due to the embargo.

Yes, and you remember how Madeleine Albright (Secretary of state) said that "it was worth it"!!!

Yes, the guy in the video appears to have a beard that looks like Osama's, and they both wear the same thing on their head, and dress about the same. But that's where the similarities stop. Anyone with decent vision (and honesty!) will tell you that the guy in the…

Al-Qaida has taken credit for the destruction of the World Trade Center which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City in 2001,...

It has? Are they referring again to that video of a funny looking Osama. By funny, I mean that it does not look like him at all.…

I wonder if these changes in ranking reflect changes in the country's currency exchange rate; i.e., if the value of the Euro increases relative to the Yen, so will the relative foreign aid from European countries.

I know 5 theaters that had planned to show the movie canceled, but I thought someone had posted early on (can't seem to find it now) that the movie will be shown in other cities. So I was wondering if that was true and how many theaters will end up…

Does anyone know how many, if any, theaters are showing the movie in Japan? Are the theaters that have refused to show the movie a very small fraction that the media simply jumped on and made a big fuss over?

BTW, good for you actually looking at some information about Yasukuni before posting this time. Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It happens to be very similar to my first post about the shrine (yesterday at 4:22pm). It seems you missed it, huh?

Ummm...no. You told us right above that you didn't even know what the museum was about until Hikozaemon told you.

That was a joke! Or an attempt at one. I guess you didn't get it.

You clearly stated above that I cannot know exactly what the museum is about because…

My point is that you are not basing your 'opinions' on facts. You have not been to the museum or the shrine itself, do not seem to understand the Japanese language to a great extent and yet are positive you know exactly what the museum is about.

With that kind…

Kinniku, And your point is... I never claimed to have been there. Interestingly, you claimed to have been there and your impression is clearly drastically different from others who have been there. So either: 1. You never went and you made the whole thing up (you've done that before). 2.…
