  Japan has to be happy, from what I saw I am surpriesed that they medaled at all. Last I had seen China was leading, the US in second and Japan in 4th I believe. I guess the US must have left an opening. Anyway, congrats to everyone, but I have…

  Shades of the old USSR I think, the Georgian's should have let this lie as they are militarily no match for their old masters. This is what Russia has done throughout the 20th century starting in WWII where they never returned the countries they occupied during the war. I have…

  Well then China and Japan can play nice together but only when it comes to decieving their citizens. It's touching really, how about a round of Kumbaya after we assure that those who were responsible get out of the dumpling business.

  Hinton feels much as many on the project did after the bombs were used. I'm not sure why she believed the bombs wouldn't be used against humans except maybe at the time these people viewed the Manhattan Project simply as a scientific race something like the x-prize only government funded.

  The quality issue in this day and age is pretty outdated. Reliability surveys do not show a dramatic difference between Japan's big three and America's big three. Where the comment is wrong is on the large and in-efficient part of the equation which has been unfortunately true with the dominance…

  So more speculation than answers JT. Did I miss something or does the article not say whether or not it is the same pesticide found in the Japanese cases? Are they the same dumplings from the same company? That seems to be the implication but it's not spelled out. If…

  Yes, Japan is a western style democracy and is usually aligned in policy and goals with Europe and the United States. Not on every issue mind you but you certainly can't say that Japan is buddying up to anyone in asia.
