It's incredible. It's the 21st century and people still get bent out of shape over how something should be killed or if it's consumable at all?!! Nuclear SMH!!

I'll only favor very limited engagement so we can get good intel and maybe change a few things on the ground.

Like in Iraq you mean? The days of america being the world's police are coming to an end. Can anyone name any one country in recent memory that has been successfully meddled in?

dual U.S. goals of defeating the Islamic State group and removing Assad.

Last week before the timely attack, it was one goal but even before one could crank out the fizzy drinks, the military complex came a calling and now we are back to the status quo!!

I don't know what stuns me most. That people praise the use of stupid force to end conflict in place of discourse or that this only continues to prop trump up!!

People should be open to try various cuisine.

The foods still the same only prepared differently.

Muslims are permitted to consume under Islamic Law,

My opinion on the matter being this is a slippery slope seeing as no one law should be adhered to if it pertains to a religious entity. What happens if the workers feel a need to dress a certain way because the religion says so? Work at certain times because religion says so? At all times just as the state is separated, work must be separated from religion as well.

It encourages employees to finish work earlier than usual on the last Friday of each month and to increase consumption—a soft spot in the deflation-hit economy.

LOL this is some impressive logic, pay me peanuts but expect me to spend on the last Friday of the month. Cheers!!

“Changing how people work and enabling more elderly workers and women to live up to their potential are critical for Japan to solve labor shortages and to achieve sustained economic growth,

Nice, blame the elders and women? This is the stone age mentality that's drowning Japan.

The future of “Abenomics” is seen to increasingly depend on the success of labor reforms.

Yup seeing as everything else going for it has failed. Failure to admit failure is only kicking the can down the road further.

whether we can change our culture, lifestyles, and long-established labor practices,

This isn't going to work. Charity begins at home. Without massive reducation from an early age to revise individual perceptions, this is simply wishful thinking.

Turn the screws on him, dismantle his military, facilitate his demise and try to rebuild Syria.

Please could you kindly sign up at the army offices to assist with this matter?

There sure seem to be a lot of people who want to use this attack to stop looking at Trump & crew's Russian connections.

True. The screws were tightening and he needed this distraction. Same old tired trope used over and over again!!

No choice in the matter abe ol chum. Obey your master!!!!!!

It was a 'False Flag' attack by the US's proxy mercenaries, the 'head-choppers', to further the US and it's cronies' objective of 'Regime Change'.

Careful now Paul, you just might destroy folks collective psyche with this logic. Besides most people don't like thinking outside cnn anyway!!

And guess what nation is most responsible for it?

Smh

Japan is tryng to become a "normal" country on many levels. Such efforts will and are being fought tooth and nail by the opposition parties and people who don't want to give up their Heiwa Boke way of life. Objectively, there's no question that the security picture in the region has changed and Japan has to properly adjust to meet those changes

What a strange way of looking at a very complex situation!! Unless japan's willing to change economic models to start skirmishes abroad ala America, they should and must stay away from armaments!!

The entire country is right wing.

It's a communist dictatorship what do you expect?

Japan on the other hand is supposed to be a freedom loving democracy. That's slowly going down the tunes.

What makes you think he is out and about? That's extremely doubtful.

Doesn't say anywhere he's incarcerated either!!

And as I predicted less than a month ago, the school scandal is something for the historical archives. Opposition? More like career seat fillers. Disgusting!!

Assad is testing Trump to see where his red line is

Seriously? How in the world did you come to such a preposterous conclusion?

I strongly assume that Bannon will be working with (and for) Trump "backstage"!

Well you know what they say about 'assume'

Bannons done, finished . I see no point clamoring to conspiracy when the deeds already done!!

Anyone who could entertain such thoughts should probably go back to coloringbooks.

Logic is lost on most unfortunately. Anyone calling for brute force must surely stand in line to sign up for the cause instead of mashing the keyboard.

the Syrian government is making major gains against the rebel/Al-Qaeda terrorist groups and has ISIS on the run, and the U.S. had changed its policy of removing Assad

That right there was what the parties concerned could not stomach. Nothing gets mob justice revved up than watching innocent people suffer. They know this hence where we are now. As long as there's loads of money involved in anything, scenarios such as these will continue to happen!!

due in part to psychology and cultural reasons, as well as the difference in grammar and pronunciation between the two languages

LOL, excuses will get you everything!!

Well marriage is kinda Stone Age here sometimes. You MUST give me all your money! And I will give you an allowance. You must sleep away from me after we have kidz, and accept it.

Nailed it. I can't begin to fathom how anyone non Japanese can become accustomed to this lifestyle. Respect to the married folk!!

Probably because US government wants to topple Assad and make a Syrian government that is more friendly to US.

You forgot that which shall not be named. Syria as it stands places a huge roadblock to access to European markets to sell the discovered gas in the occupied territories.

Preach Asakaze, preach!!

I don't mind if kids learn about this stuff, but they should also know about Japanese imperialism and military practices during WW2,

If that was the case, opposition wouldn't, you know, oppose!!

lefty MSM needed a cover story to keep Susan Rice out of the headlines.

And they're going to play that tune till the crows come home. Spin doctors are hard at work, and it's just April!!

And this folks is why China and Korea will never let bygones be bygones. And around and around we go!!

It’s their own responsibility, their own choice

So much for that world renowned omotenashi

It's tough maintaining the tatamae as one ages. This was just the honmae shinning through!! Scary!!

The "failure to change" in this case is on the part of South Korea.

Sigh.. Missed my point.

I hear no apologies from Britain for their colonial years and bringing opium to China so they can become the sick man of Asia.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Over 50 and Counting! It's time to stop and move on!!

Totally agree but you forgot to mention move on and atone by completely wiping out any semblance of the violent past through massive reducation and stringent hate laws.

Your reply had absolutely nothing to do with targeting foreign leaders,

Strangerland dude, I don't think I have to spell out the clandestine operations carried out by Empire targeting foreign leaders. That's googles job It's whole history is littered with assassination attempts. Read a little. Will you?

CH3CHO and Smith

Name calling destroys discourse. The issue at hand is failure to change. Yes many people have mouthed words of purported contrition only to renege and do something totally polarizing again. It's absolutely callous behavior!!

I'd you're going to admit wrong, strive to change for the better. Not continue dragging up old scars whenever it suits the occasion. That's it!!

All this whining over fiction makes me hope the entire planet gets colonized by a much highly evolved race of aliens!!

The foundation for the destruction of expression of thought. And round and round we go!!

What? What does that have to do with America not being allowed to target foreign leaders?

Ok baby steps. I'll paint you a picture. My first reply implied nothing has ever stopped empire from doing as it damn pleases. No permission required. That's all!!

The Iraq war.

Oh strangerland, must you always purvey the kool-aid?

America still has boots on the ground in Iraq and recently just increased those boots in syria. Who are you kidding?

US isn't legally allowed to target foreign leaders.

When's that ever stopped it exactly?
