They don't have to, and can't legally, say anything anyway. Other than the obvious, they got attacked.

Boeing is just trying hard to sell off a few of their aging F-18 that nobody else wants. The US Navy is already replacing it with the F-35 which Japan has already invested in as well. The F-18 is severley outgunned by the old F15, and the modern F22, F35, and Euro fighter and everyone knows it.

The US has a Rugby team??? .... just googled, yeah, apparently some bored college kids made a team, lol Maybe if they aired Rugby on American TV, someone would watch it and gather interest. They are WAY too into football now to care about Rugby though.

This is no longer such the case, since Android phones started outselling iphones, the Android market has expanded and more developers are making both versions of their apps. Also, you do not have to ever re-purchase apps with Android. I'm on my 4th Android handset, and you can either back up your apps manually on an SD card, PC, or using an app, or once you log into your market on the new handset, it downloads all your previously bought apps.
All of this network coverage issue will be a pretty mute point once all the networks have their LTE running full tilt. AU won't even start theirs for another year. Docomo's is nearly complete and Softbank's LTE started expanding earlier this year. (LTE is the newest global standard, replacing 3G networks, it travels farther than W-CDMA but still get's penetration into buildings)

^^ fasle, the US's powerplants ARE open for inspection by other countries. It started way back at the beginning of the STARK Treaty during the Cold War.
**Fact ** remains, even with the Fukushima and the much worse, Chernobyl, disasters factored in, Nuclear power is STILL the safest and most efficient method of producing power in our time. There is nothing else that comes close. Hydro-electric is great, but so limited to the locations where it's fesible.

I hope the people of Iran can get the chance to overthrow their dictatorship like the other Arab countries recently. I'm afraid however, he would have them wiped out faster than they could succeed.

There are way too many points you posted that are incorrect NetNinja. YuriOtani is absolutely correct in his statement, like it or not.

Al Stewart is exactly right. He said it perfectly. Also, I would suggest for some of you to actually READ the article and educate yourself on how the world works. It appears some here have this imaginary world dreamt up in your heads where the "United States" is one whole entity controlled by one person who decides everything. If you could even remember your elementary education, you would know there are so many branches and sections of Governments that are unrelated. "Fixing things at home in the US' has absolutely nothing to do with the agency in the Justice Department making crackdowns in foreign countries, it's not their job.

1900m in 30seconds isn't really THAT big of a deal, yes, it's a little quicker than on landing, but it isn't anything "terrifying". When we make landings into Iraq, we make MUCH faster declines than that, and it isn't "terrifying" either.
The original Japanese article didn't use the word "rudder", it only said "wrong control" IIRC.

^^ uh, YES they do
They were always Japanese islands, with Japanese decendents and villages. They are physically part of the Japan island chain, formed from the same portion of bedrock. Russia IS being the bully here, just like they have always been. Japan should shoot them out of the sky if they cross over, call it payback for Georgia.

..for someone with such a username, you are clearly uneducated on the matter. Futenma was already a Japanese base, when the Americans took control of the island, they paid the land owners rent. The entire island was under US control as AGREED to by the Japanese Government.
The US has been trying to close Futenma for over 15 years, it's always been the Japanese and Okinawan Governments that have not agreed on how to do it. The US even offered to move it entirely to Guam, but Tokyo still wanted some of it's capabilities within Japans area, so the current plan, which most people misunderstand, is to only move the rotary portion (helicopters) within Okinawa (Nago) with the availability of fixed wing capability in order to deploy Navy aircraft to the location in time of need. The majority of the current personnel and aircraft however, will move to Guam. Furthermore, the portion that is moving to Nago (Henoko) will just combine with the already existing base there. It's a large base with room to build the runways (they were already started years ago) without expanding the footprint of that base.
The Okinawans had already accepted this plan, although reluctantly, until Hatoyama came in and promised to move it entirely out of Okinawa. This stirred the pot, then he couldn't do it, so he resigned.

I believe he is referring to China's claim to the disputed island near Taiwan which is part of the Ryukyu island chain, but they are trying to claim it as part of Taiwan because of it's close proximity, however, it's part of the Ryukyu chain, which is Okinawa.

No, they don't. There was a show on about a year ago showing the proccess from farm to table for a few places, like CoCo's, Gusto, Saizeriya, etc. It's all from within Japan, but most is put together at a central facility, then frozen, then shipped.

sooo... they only travel with ONE qualified driver onboard per train? Anyone else see an issue here?
Besides that, he did the right thing IMO.
