I don't want anybody hurt, and I mean anybody.

Don't think for one minute that a psychotic emotional national leader will hesitate to drop a nuclear bomb on a neighbor if conditions suit. Reason has long gone out the door by this point. I appreciate "history" is banned on JT, so read up yourself for example on Hilters's plan to kill off everybody in Poland, Ukraine etc., and fill the place with Germans. But people should never been held accountable for the actions or proposed actions. We just talk about the latest insane tit for tat.

skipethong: Why is it that the large Jewish and Islamic Arab communities live in peace, prosper, go to the football together, and choose not to live in enclaves? All people on earth a valuable, very valuable!

Israel "has a history" of disproportionate actions or responses for perceived self advantage. When they reach the insane point of being unable to resist the temptation to use one on a neighbor, because they always have to go that bit too far, there will be a retaliatory nuclear response from its enemy (within the Islamic world) at some point thereafter. That is the "promise land" promise that has been consistently delivered on Israel over the past 5,000 years and will inevitably follow. Then the matter of Israel will be tragically be just history again. The world will survive from a few nuclear bombs with little impact on the rest of us. It should make front page headlines in the press. Someone will build a museum on the bomb sites. Prayers will be said. The dogs will bark and the wagon will move on.

As much as I don't want the spread of nuclear weapons, the fact is the nuclear gate is now wide open and the nuclear horse well and truly bolted. I would prefer Iran not to have nuclear weapons as chosen by my country, Australia, which has had the ability to produce them since the nineteen fifties, but chose not to. Iran is a sovereign State too, just like Russia, the US, Britain, France, China, Pakistan, India and Israel, all whose chose to stockpile nuclear weapons, two in the tens of thousands. It won't be long before numerous countries have them. Then perhaps every country will be too scared to show aggression.

The young people of Iran will gradually bring it into the secular twenty-first century if just left alone to do it. The person who will most inspire them to do so, is President Barak Obama. A man for the young people of the world. The best orator America has produced.

What is the story? Israel behaving as though it has a divine right to start WW111. Its current behavior is a replica of its last 69 years of aggression against anyone who stands in its way. If it had clean hands until now, the thread of my argument would be different. I don't want to see anyone suffer from what is no more than cultural idealogy and outrageous population growth in an area that cannot support it. The culture has a long, long history of self inflicted destruction. There are 6.5 billion other people battling to survive on this planet, not provoking battles with their neighbors.

SezWho? Israel must know what it is doing. Surely they would not move half the world's 14 million population of Jews to Israel in recent decades and call on the rest to come to this small arid "promised land" while being publicly belligerent to its increasingly smarter and organized near neighbors, thus putting 7 plus million Israeli's at risk, unless they thought they were safe. Yes, I know they have been wiped out in Israel on many occasions in the distant past, the last being 70AD but the Arab world has to learn to take whatever Israel serves up, Remember the the 1940's holocaust. Chosen by God, as was their land of Israel for them and a bit more, their indiscretions therefore should be overlooked. Okay so they flattened thousands of homes in neighboring Lebanon two years ago and recently 14,000 homes in Gaza, they were a bit over enthusiastic. The have to plan for the future. If the 11 million US citizens entitled to move to Israel under Israeli law did, they have to house them somewhere; wouldn't they? Virtually the whole Jewish Russian population has shifted to Israel over the past 20 years, why not the US ones. Yes, it places pressure on scarce potable water supplies and residential land so whats wrong with just taking a little bit of the West Bank, and next year some more. Are you suggesting that crowding all these Jewish connected people into this tiny arid stretch of land is not the wish of God? If Iran fails to get on with its neighbors, and seeks nuclear power, obviously God would call on Israel to do something about it.

If I was an Israeli, I would be careful indeed in 2009. The world is changing. The Arab world will not operate for ever as a dis-organized self interested poorly armed rabble as they did in 1948. I would be suggesting a different, more circumspect and conciliatory course and send the Jewish settlers somewhere else, and just use Israel for a holiday and to be entombed in as they did 100 years ago. Bravado is just a word.

Israel is entirely responsible for its own actions. No one else. It does not seem to care about international reaction to anything it does. Nor does it observe UN resolutions. It is silly to say the US is equally responsible or an accomplice. The US acts for the common world good. Israel only acts for the sole benefit of Israel and those it seeks to attract there.

Posted in: Japan royal couple head to Canada, Hawaii See in context

The Royal couple will be treated with great respect and dignity at all official functions in Canada and the US including Pearl Harbor if they were to change their itinerary at the last minute. Japan needs to understand it is respected in Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and Britain (its old WW1 allies, and its sadly WW11 foes).

There is no need for any Japanese to cringe or fear going to places like Pearl Harbor. To do so is to completely misunderstand these five Protestant Christian Countries. They are all very forgiving. For the last six decades they have all worked hard to assist and support Japan to become the success its own Japanese people made it and a great business partner and ally to all of us.

The best manifestation of Japanese sorrow about Pearl Harbour is for a Japanese war ship to sail in, with its Japanese flag flying at half mast to signify respect for those who died.

The Royal Couple could host a function on board for dignitories, including Presdident Obama and Secretary of State Clinton with some local US servicemen that were there that fateful 7 December 1941 day. The need to say they are "sorrowful" for those who died that day but and "glad" or "happy" for those who fortunately survived. The Americans will understand and respect this gesture. There is no need for another apology in fact it would detract from the occasion.

All young Japanese need to understand the facts and simply accept it was a 15 year mistake, 64 years ago in a several thousand year proud history, and leave it at that. They must focus their minds on getting on with making a success of their lives, being creative and clever and keep Japan a technologically advanced and productive economy.

The greatest gift Japan can give the World is to be an economically strong, enlightened, and creative country, a generous supporter of small struggling Pacific nations, but mainly a major part of the balance in world power to ensure world peace.

I was proud that Japanese soldiers served alongside Australian, British and US soldiers in Iraq, whatever, readers consider the merits of the war are. The thing is Japanese Army engineers, protected by Australian soldiers, did a lot of good work for the local Iraqi inhabitants with little loss or Iraqi lives to my knowledge. The local Iraqi's will remember this as us Aussies do.

Japan has to promote its culture and its natural beauty to the World. Thirty years ago it was dream for us Westerners to visit Japan to experience its natural beauty. I don't know what happened but it rarely gets a mention today. It has probably a lot to do with the overvalued Yen. Japan, you must open up yourselves and your Country to us Westerners, please.

Posted in: The secret to good sex after 45: Bring the brain into play See in context

The real secret to sex after 45 sadly is just "thinking about it" or "talking about it". As for those older guys that imagine they're 20 again with Viagra, it is like a sixty year old women getting a face lift and thinking she looks 20. You don't. You may look and feel better which is good. So all you younger men and women, make the most of every opportunity while nature has you primed for it, within reason and safety of course and not something that will bring regret. A sexual intercourse opportunity foregone, is sex never to be had. So value it and don't save yourself up too much.

Superlib. I thought the people behind stopping Milosevich and the Serbian Army committing genocide on the Kosovars were UK PM Tony Blair and US Senator Bob Dole who convinced US President Bill Clinton to use US airpower to defeat the Serb's. And The US Airforce did it essentially on their own from 38,000 feet. I still picture foolish Serb's standing on bridges holding paper targets above them as they taunted the world and continued their mass slaughter of Moslem Kossovars. If you are going to stuff around with any force on earth, make sure it is not the US Airforce because you will be vaporized as well if their Commander in Chief orders it. The wimpish Europeans did little as usual, except one German radar operator tipped off the Serbs of the flight plan of a US fighter/bomber causing it to be shot down. There was no way the Iraqi's could give up Saddam like the Serbs later gave up Molosevich to get acceptance back into the EEU. Correct me if I am wrong in my facts.

The whole world is entitled to my opinions.

British PM Neville Chamberlain returned from meeting Hitler Adolf Hitler waving a signed letter from Hitler saying Germany would not invade other countries, uttering a mantra "Peace in Our Time". Hitler also signed a non aggression pact with the Soviet Union a week before brutally invading his neighbors and the world found it had to go to war to stop him. 100 million died including 27 million Soviets. The Japanese Ambassador was negotiating a peace agreement in Washington with the Presidential staff, at the very time it made its surprise attack on the US at Pearl Harbor. Stalin starved 9 million Ukrainians in 1932 and the Bolsheviks pulling the strings robbed the Russian people of all their land and wealth and the Soviets gave the world a 68 year cold war. What did it cost Britain, the US, Australia, Canada, NZ etc., to restore freedom to the world and those aggressor countries. The only difference with Saddam was the timing and on this occasion the West got in first. No more "or gee, but" please. The whole world virtually came to the same decision on Saddam in 2003. France didn't want the invasion because it had been supplying his weapons and munitions. Saddam kept his all French built planes on the ground knowing they were no match for the US planes. The Australian SAS captured all their fighter planes at the main tactical airport within the first week. Most of the deaths in Iraq came from an internal religious and race war exploited by Al-queda insurgents. I am happy to have lived for the last 64 years under the protection of the five Anglo Saxon countries. You cannot trust or rely on anyone else.

Australia has 21.5 million people and 140,000 die naturally each year. Iraq has 25 million people so lets say 150,000 natural deaths each year. Since the coalition forces interceded and freed Iraqi's from Saddam's family's brutal rule in March 2003 - then 6 years by 150,000 = 900,000 Iraqi's would have died naturally. Official UN records indicate 80,000 died from the civil and insurgent war that followed plus 4,000 US troops. Few US or Iraqi's died from the 21 day war itself. Sadly few countries march into a long period of real freedom and democracy without massive bloodshed. Hopefully, Iraq and eventually Iran will become strong free, democratic secular states over the next decade and places we would all want to visit. It is just a tragedy with us humans that so many have been called upon to make the supreme sacrifice so that others may live in peace. Despots rarely leave without sacrificing huge numbers of their subjects. Hitler would have preferred all Germans died.

adaydream: I am underwhelmed by your comment, "like him or not, I didn't care for Saddam...". Wow! I imagine you wouldn't have cared if Ouday Hussein was running the show now, or perhaps the US hadn't bombed Gaddafi, a secret purchaser of Pakistani nuclear bomb no-how, or if he was still funding terrorism around the free world. Our world is essentially free, thanks to the US and Britain. As they say tyrants prosper, when good men do nothing. You sound like Goody, Goody Two- shoes!

You can sleep tight now and email JP in your spare time. I say thanks to the servicemen of Iraq, the US, Britain, Australia, Japan, Holland, Poland, Canada and all the other countries that saw it through. For those male suicide bombers, I guess it is every Moslem girls dream to go through life as a virgin, so she and 71 others can go to Heaven and spend the rest of eternity married to an pamper a crazy suicide bomber.

adaydream: I guess your psuedonym fits! The American people largely supported Bush at the outset and the war was over in 22 days when armchair experts were saying years. Perhaps if the US Civilian Administrator, Paul Bremmer, hadn't sacked the Iraqi 500,000 strong Army shortly after against the wishes of Colin Powell and the Pentagon things may have been much different. There is never a soft warm cuddly solution when the likes of Suddiam Hussain and his brutal sons, get absolute power, and brutally misuse it on their own people and their neighbors. Who knows where it would have ended if Pakistan had sold him or his sons some nuclear weapons? We don't have to worry about it now.

Recently, a US inventor discovered a means of applying a particular radio frequency to salt water which caused the escaping gases to readily burn at 1500 centigrade. An endless supply of power to run engines, cars, power grids and so on. The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stone, and the oil age won't end because we ran out of oil.

Seems to me the real home of Al-queda terrorism and the billions of dollars for extreme Watanabe Islam was Saudi-Arabia. It is not Afganhistan or Pakistan.

President George W Bush had to play the hand that was dealt him. After 9/11 his main task was to keep terrorism out of mainland US. He was eminently successful. He also played a big part in assisting the rest of the world minimise or block terrorist attacks on their citizens too. I would give him close to 100% for that as well.

Interestingly, it is the same three Protestant Christian countries countries that played such a big part in ending German military expansion in WW1, again in WW11 and now misplaced Islamic extremism and terrorism in the Middle East. The US., Britain and Australia.

When you look at the several hundred millions that either died or suffered unspeakable misery and terror when Japanese militarilists got control of Japan and much of SE Asia, Bolshevik Communism and Nazism got control of Russia and German respectively before the same three aforementioned bastions of western freedom and democracy defeated them in Europe and in the "cold war" at no small cost to themselves, then I wish to express my gratitude and admiration to them. I would not want children or grandchildren living under the brutal jackboot of any fascist or communist.

It is amazing how happy happy and peaceful Iraqis living in the US and Australia are. Why not in Iraq? I believe they will and good on them.

northlondon: For your edification, because I am missing the humour somehow in your comments, a non-discrimination policy is one in which we take people from all nations, creeds, religions etc. It is not an open door policy. You seem confused. There is also a long que and many try to que jump others. Australia takes about 15,000 refugees a year plus some que jumpers. What is more, all these different people (180 different nationalities) get on really well with little racial or ethnic tension. You may not have noticed but we have the Union flag in the top left hand corner of our flag and that design has about 99% support in Australia. We voted a decade ago to reject a Republic for the existing Constitutional Monarchy with the Queen as our head. We love Great Britain here and all it has delivered to us.

Zurcronium: I probably lost you with facts mates. The 1917 revolution was the Bolshevik Revolution. The proponents and almost all operatives Jewish, many Russianised their names. It is not a racist comment, it is what happened. Their communist theory was to dispossess people of their land and assets and introduce collectivised state farms and factories. Tens of millions were stripped of their wealth and millions finished up starving. The system was a failure of gigantic proportions. Eventually the whole system collapsed in 1988. Our Western system was introduced in Britain in 1691 and protects private ownership of land and assets with courts and laws to back it up. It has made Britain and the countries that flowed from it the freest and wealthiest on earth. Our economies are mixed economies with some planning, some public ownership and a lot of private ownership and a free market. The mistake the Americans make is to associate "Socialism" with the former, not the latter as it is practised around most of the advanced western world.

Zurcronium: It seems you are confusing socially beneficial activities with the brutal Jewish 1917 "Bolshevik" Soviet communism that dominated Russia and its neigbors until 1988 and the genesis of the far more genteel kibbutz in Israel. They were misplaced experiments of an earlier age. They failed because they involved the destruction of private and individual property rights. Something that is not envisaged by anything President Obama promotes. President Theodore Roosevelt as long ago as the 1890's, a enlightened man of enormous inherited wealth, saw the benefit of public infrastructure, services and utilities and introduced them in NY State. 100 years later New Yorkers were selling to the world the benefits of privatising public infrastructure and services for personal gain. Obama had little choice with his big spending as the US is publicly bankrupt from borrowing for stimulus packages to benefit private entreprise and tax cutting at the same time. The alternative is a financial collapse for say a decade or more and widespread and absolute misery in the US. Guys you have to start doing it better!

ninjaninaritai: Japan has benefited enormously after its misplaced former militarialistic past ended in August 1945 and the West ensured Japanese Society was rebuilt on a free, democratic, secular basis and poured in enormous economic Marshall Plan aid to underwrite it. You and the other young Japanese today have only known peace and prosperity in your life times which otherwise would not have been the case. Be grateful for it as am I.

None of Russia, China, India, the US, Britain, Indonesia, Germany, or virtually any country on earth is still whaling. Just little old Japan along with insolvent Iceland, and intransigent Norway who only do it to sell their modest catch to Japan.

If whale meat was actually popular with the 127 million Japanese as your officials represent it to be, it would be dearer a kilo than bluefin tuna. Mate, they are just not queing up to buy it. That is why you stick it in freezers with doubtless much secretly getting dumped.

Japanese youth know that by developing a whale watching industry around Japan's unique and beautiful coastline those seaside resorts would develop micro economies that would dwarf that of the primitive and treaty breaching whale slaughter industry. But then Japan is dopey enough to think it is fine to manufacture motor cars and export them to the US and elsewhere at secretly way below cost and undermine other country market based motor industries. We call that mercantilism! It is evil. As a result you have the worst level of public debt in the world. 200% of GDP and rising. Japan is not running up real trade surpluses - it is going bankrupt pretending it is. Like, hey, we really love having a whale meat snack with a Saki while watching TV.

Your fight on the whaling issue is one of blustering jingoistic nationalism first, rather than just going along with the 6.4 billion people on the planet who oppose it and just may be right.

The fact that Japan buys off a number of tiny little poverty stricken states to get their whaling vote is reflective of the same insular, self centred, dogmatic militarialistic approach of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. A real Socially aware country would channel aid to those countries that had lonmg term economic social benefits. Not just an annual drip! It is why Russia was given the Kurile Islands back at the Yalta conference without firing a shot at Japan in WW11, and won't give them back to Japan now. Russia doesn't need them.

The world see the four Japanese representatives sitting at the front row there of the World Whaling Conference like four stooges and it gives the rest of the world the Sh..s. It is not an issue worth Japan losing national reputation over. The economic value is tiny as is the number of people employed in it. Japan loses money doing it. Now that is what the rest of us call plain stupid. Then they get people like you cheering for it.

The reason why Americans fear Socialism is because from the very start they developed a severe cultural distaste for paying taxes. That is why they went to war against Britain. It was over a tiny little tax to assist mother Britain fund a war against hostile France at the time. Their was nothing heroic in the Boston Tea Party or the War of Independence in 1776. Australia started off as a British colony in 1778 and like the early US was heavily subsidized by the British. Every request Australia made to Britain for self government was always promptly approved. A decade ago we voted overwhelmingly to reject a Rupublic and remain a Constitutional Mornarchy with the "Queen" as out head. A wonderful system that has made us the wealthiest and freest people on earth.

We started the eight hour day and numerous social reforms as far back as the nineteenth century. 96% of Australians have voted at every Federal election since 1926 because it is compulsory. That means all Australians take a real interest in public policy. We don't have self serving lobbyists distorting our development as the US does.

We have had a fabulous publicly funded health system since 1975. No one in Australia fears losing their savings or their home if the get sick. There are very few law suits against the medical profession. Melbourne has the best hospitals, medical research and doctors in the world and you get treated free! The most serious always go straight to the head of the line. People bitch because they have to wait 12 weeks for a free hip operation. We attract the best medical brains in the world here!

We took the future of our medical system out of the hands of the doctors in the 1970's and put it into the hands of health professionals and the Parliament. Our health drug system ensures people get access to the best drugs at a very competitive price and effectively free for the less wealthy.

Australians if given a choice between a tax cut or better public services, will take the latter every time. They go for practicable things and are not trembling in false fear of silly labels like "socialism". It is just a word, and a word that hardly gets mentioned here. FEAR is an acronym for "false evidence appearing real".

America is almost broke now it is drowning in $13 trillion of the giantist "ponzie" scheme of all time. Federal "Public Debt" is so big in the US it cannot even service the interest on it for goodness sake. Australia on the other hand is just going into a "minute" amount of public debt to assist its people from suffering from the world financial crisis started in the US. Our economy is actually now out of the financial crisis and doing very well.

Like most "Aussies", I really love America and Americans. They are on the whole great people and the greatest force for good of all time in the world. We are forever grateful for what our big US brother has done for us . But guys you Americans have an elite that only looks after the elite and that is bad for your Society. Our elite and Parliament put the interest of the whole society first. We have never had a national leader sacked for improprietry or accused of not putting the whole nations interests first. We would demand sacking of a PM if he was late returning a library book!

We have learned a lot from the US, but now the US population might have a look across the Pacific and see what why its little brother down under is doing so well and abandon those stupid self destructive labels.

Obama is a great force for good in the World. Wed could show him how to solve America's financial, health and democracy problems in a few days.

If you read the 600 page official court list of Madoff clients, they almost to as person had Jewish sounding names. Eye for an eye with them!

If they had have have been Christian, they may have been prepared to "turn the other cheek' as it were, and let him off and give him a chance to do it to them again with a suspended sentence.

Interestingly Madoff's chosen list of clients thought they were getting a remarkable fixed 20% per annum exponential growth, year after year, though the rest of the market was going up and down like a roller coaster. Seems they deserved the outcome from being so stupid and greedy.

Madoff should get an award for proving how gullible people are when it comes to money. But then didn't some NY politically correct fancy pants liberal group have the word "gullible" removed from the Oxford dictionary claiming it may have racist, sexist, insulting or particular culture overtones. Perhaps they will have to reinstate it.

Then what about the chiefs and boards of the big NY based banks, investment banks and rating agencies for their giant "securitized" ponzi scheme. 1000 years gaol for them I expect. Then we can have a look at the lunatic US Federal Reserve Board also based in NY. I would give the a couple of thousand years each for their daddy of them all Government bond Ponzi scheme with US$12 trillion (90% of US GDP) in "risk free" public debt. Then we may as well go all they way and go for the Japanese Central Bank with their US$8 trillion of public debt - a Ponzi scheme twice Japans GDP and twice as serious as that in the US. And President Obama talks of closing down Guantanoma Bay - he is going to need a couple more at least. I have to go, their is a surviving "financial planner" on TV giving advice. I think he is only alive because of a life support system. His face seems to be covered in bandages and blood!
