An Upbeat View From the Bank of Japan By REUTERS, JUNE 13, 2014, TOKYO — The Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady on Friday and offered a slightly more upbeat view on overseas growth, signaling confidence that the economy was on course to meet its inflation target next year without...

No, not 100%. Maybe 47%. On balance it's a useful analysis/suggestion of the situation in Iraq ...

Perhaps the Battle of Karbala needs to be re-fought in Karbala. Maybe Ali's supporters will win this time, put aside their hurt, and the Muslim's of all persuasions unite into a glorious Caliphate with the Caliph chosen by a UN administered vote ... The Battle of Karbala took place on...

As long as Pakistan does this, and the people of Pakistan continue to allow it, I have zero sympathy for the pain and suffering that the "blowback" causes to Pakistan. Maybe even the Quran has this sentiment: "You reap what you sow."

The irony of these posts ^^^^ to me is that all of the supposed evils being perpetrated by NGO's in India are ALSO being perpetrated in my country, the USA, by both the same NGO's and by the Democratic Party and the administration of Barack Obama. The underlying philosophy is democratic...

@Hazzy997 Why don't you ask your Boko Haram friends to mention their civilian causalities? Boko Haram rampages unchecked in the Nigerian north By LAURA GROSSMAN, June 5, 2014 This week Boko Haram militants have continued their insurgency across northern Nigeria with little challenge from...

I think that Obama should just challenge Putin to a game of basketball shooting (Horse). Whoever wins gets the Ukraine.......

Civilian casualties, if there are any, are the responsibility of AQAP. E-mail them and ask them to mention them for you, if you really care.

I agree, except with the "full" right of return. Palestinian "returnees" must accept second class citizenship, just as will the present non-Israelis living in the West Bank.. Hamas' philosophy and methods are a disaster for both the Palestinians and the Israelis. As for the continuing...

Japan's Next Big Trend Could Be "Neo Gals" 1 Pink hair. Ripped jeans. Bling. Meet Japan's "Neo Gals," part Americana, part Tokyo, and lots and lots of bleach. P During the 1990s, "gal" (ギャルor gyaru) fashion was in vogue with the nation's youth, with young women tanning their skin, dying their...

I think that it is totally incorrect to think that the USA is opposed to the Japanese changing their constitution to allow them to participate in collective defense arrangements. The USA trusts Japan as an ally more than any other Asian nation (not counting Australia and New Zealand, English...

You can be secular without being "liberal" in the sense of being a progressive or a socialist.

^^^^ I don't post that much anymore. I do like the Japan Support thread that KAL-EL, Kaan and atatwolf keep going. I try to contribute now and then. Mainly, as an American, any time I criticize something going on, someone throws at me a litany of US evil (Hiroshima, native American genocide...
