Posted in: Cameron says UK still a world power See in context
In fact, historical analysis shows that he Brits had pretty much fallen behind by the 1880s, which is when the U.S. and Germany left them chewing dust economically. hey then struggled in the Boer War against a few Dutch farmers and had to be bailed out by the USA in both world wars, so I 'd argue the Brits haven't been a world power for over a 100 years now.

Dear Mr. Cameron:
There must be a misprint on your calendar - it is 2010, not 1910. Your country really doesn't matter anymore.

Ok, 2 things here:
How do youknow they are Japanese? Could be Korean, Chinese, Japanese Americans, etc.
How do you know they are paying their respects? Could just be curious passers by gawping at the gaijin graves.0 ( +0 / -0 )

Ironically, the only reason these peaceniks are able to freely assemble in Japan is because nuclear weapons were used.

About time Brits. Britain and other Euro nations have been a lazy man's paradise since America bailed them out in W.W.II with money, troops and tanks. Since then, these countries have been able to save massive amounts not paying for their own defense and leaving it all up to the U.S. to do (as usual), while handing out healthcare, pensions and welfare as if there was a magic pot of money. Now the chickens are coming home to roost!

Greatly underestimated President imo. Had the cojones to take it to the enemy and also knew how to talk to the common man. Thousands of European and American lives were saved by his proactive foreign policies.

Sorry Obama, but it was indeed "die for a tie". And the blame lies squarely with Truman for not letting his commanders play hardball when the Chinese invaded in November 1950.

Farming in Japan is a joke, like most of their industries. Has to be protected or wouldn't last 5 min. I resent my tax money going towards maintaining their inefficient production model.
