The legacy of L Paul Bremer III and his cronies, who destroyed the structure of Iraq far more effectively than Saddam Hussein and the coalition forces.
Nice one Paully.....

Weren't Honeywell the maker's of the instrument flight database that nearly landed a UA 747 in San Francisco Bay a few months back? The pilot aborted the landing when something didn't feel right, and he suddenly found the plane out over the water. Turns out that corrupt data had been fed into the system.

They've managed to suppress the existence of 'gachanko' up until now, but it seems only a mater of time until someone admits to it... I wonder then if the tabloids and 'wide-shows' will counter sue the JSA for lying, and get their libel money back?!?!

The word 'terrorist' is being used a lot on this thread. Is what Bethune did really terrorism? It seems that any time governments want to silence a protest group, or aggressively control some people against their policies, they label it 'terrorism'.
Terrorist - a much abused and very over-used word.

Sepp Blatter is increasingly getting to be an embarrassment to FIFA. First his continuing reluctance to adopt modern technology that other sports such as tennis now thrive with, and secondly for his handling of the hotels for the world cup, mismanaged by a company owned by his nephew...

Just because they are a graduate of Todai, doesn't mean that they have any business acumen. There is a big difference between "making some interesting research" and developing products that make money for a company.
Corporates pay the money for what you can do, not from where you graduated...

ANA have a lot of self check-in equipment at Narita airport. But always there is a staff member there to manage it for the passenger. No-one seems able to use it on their own, it's menus are not particularly user-friendly.
Interestingly, the Immigration department have also set up electronic self-check devices, but you still have a human screening the passenger at the end. Again, I saw only one person using it, assisted by two officers.

They have the "salaryman" spirit of circulating memos for everyone to put their approval, vis a vis passing to each other all the time, with no-one will to take responsibility, i.e. take a shot at goal. Might work in a company advertising pitch, but not on a football pitch.

Surprised not to see a Japanese 'tarento' hanging around with them, as usually happens.
Guess Mona Yamamoto and Aya Sugimoto must have both been busy last night!
