Lets talk sacrifice - How many Iraqi civilians have paid the ultimate price? Bet it beats the number of US and coalition troops.

I also agree with both Ossan and Smith (your arguments are part of a larger problem). True the Iraqi's didn't ask to be invaded on the flimiest…

Lot's of ALT jobs now are very very cheap. The salary for that kind of job hasn't increased in 15 years. People 15 years ago were making 200,000 to 300,000 yen a month. With skyrocketing prices, teaching will be given back to the Japanese market with a few western faces.…
