We strongly believe societies which allow the free expression of ideas tend to be the most prosperous and the most peaceful,

Very true. Freedom of expression in the US is an illusion. The American people only think they are free.

Why did it take 4 hours?

I once witnessed the clean up process. It seems that before any train can move they must account for all the body parts. But indeed 4 hours sure is a long time. Maybe they had trouble finding a part. For most of the 105000…

tokyotom, I agree, but lets keep in mind that there are many cases of police brutality in countries that are in the "club".

Before the creation of Israel there was no conflict between Christians and Muslims and Jews for that matter in Palestine. This is incorrect. There were riots and killings amongst these groups against each other before Israel was established.

I assume you are referring to the riots between the Jews and…

Suicide? It sounds like he dropped it and it went off in the bathroom accidently killing him...

Bringing such a weapon in the toilet at 2:20 a.m, without the safety on, does not seem like an accident. It was a suicide: either he committed suicide or he was "suicided". Speaking…

USAPatriot,

Heck , you been reading some Japanese revisionist history book?

No, written by Americans (and or British), and included statements from American government people of that time (including about the surrender conditions). I'm in no mood to fetch the info for you, but I'm sure you or anybody else…

Wow, so you're saying that dropping the atomic bombs was an act of cowardice and that a full-scale invasion of the main Japanese islands was somehow the brave or uncowardly thing for the Allies to do? That's a new one...

Japan wanted to and was trying to surrender. The US…

But this really should be called the Infidel/Muslim conflict

No, the Palestinian Christians were also kicked out of their land by the Zionists, and continue to be mistreated today. The Muslims are not the problem.

When exactly did Mr. Olmert mass murder innocent people? Where specifically did you see ethnic cleansing?

It certainly wouldn't be just because the man is the prime minister of Israel, right?

No, of course it isn't. But if you truly are not aware of the crimes against humanity this man is responsible for, I suggest you look into it. They are quite horrible and obvious crimes,…
