The best thing for the US is to look at its long-term strategic goals and figure out if they outweigh the cost of staying in Okinawa.

They copy what some workers wear when they work around totaled nuclear power plants.It might just be a way to stay safe from Fallout.

People can get their music fix elsewhere such as youtube,I assume downloading a video from there isn't prohibited yet.All it is going to do is kill exposure to media that isn't widely available.

Good on New Jersey.

Maybe there is hope for the States yet.

Bear in mind that when it comes to counterinsurgency warfare;you need a certain amount of troops vis a vis the civilian population.

Apparently the Afghan troops are considered part of the solution when it comes to dealing with the Taliban.

If you're(from a Washington view)counting on the locals to maintain security in order to win and said locals are killing Western troops for the hell of it.

He is not going anywhere near my trash or my dog.

Someone explained the whole Iraqi situation as a Parabola,as the number of US troops and the amount of militias "bribed" into supporting the government stays steady;things work out.

When the number of US troops decrease and the locals can't find jobs doing security for the government then violence starts to increase again.

It is not about winning or losing;it is just the math.If the US wants "victory",it is going to have to occupy Iraq(with a lot of soldier) and spend money making sure every Iraqi with a gun has something going for him.

Best thing to do at this point is dissolve Iraq and let Kurdistan and the Sunnis go their separate ways.Only thing worthwhile that can be done.

What goes around comes around.

I want one but it just can't be blue.

You can't trust cops.

Back to square one.

I guess watching Iran getting shredded by terrorists could be considered a silver lining to this whole debacle.

So I don't see what he is complaining about,I am sure he is got some black ancestry at some point.

That is one place that isn't changing anytime soon.

I am X-Box 360 man myself,I like consoles in general but I've am not impressed by the game section for the WII.

The PS3 was alright.

Blaming Africans for HIV infection makes sense except that they don't come from Sub-Saharan Africa-they usually comes from West Africa where the rates are nowhere near as high.

It is got more to do with local sexual habits then anything else.

Reminds me of the Monterey Aquarium.

Knee deep in the dead.

By staying out and letting America keep sorting it out;the way it is been sorting it out.

20-30 million yen in debt?

They should have left the country when they could.

It is a very nice idea,an unworkable idea but a nice nonetheless.

Neither of these cities have the clout or the prestige to actually push this through.

Mormons ought to make quite an impact in Japan.

Too many people.

Spread them people out.

It is game over in Afghanistan.

Even a small tsunami can result in some serious incidents.

Suicide is too common in Japan these days.

Chicago isn't getting any love from anyone.
