Boy, the Japanese Navy sure is not the fighting force the IJN was in WWII... |

The so-called "coalition" of countries supporting US imperial war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq seems to be on the ropes. Also it has proven politically disastrous for Shinzo Abe, former short term premier of Japan, who resigned suddenly, and now for Australia's John Howard who has been soundly defeated in his bid for reelection. Both of these servile toadies were ousted because they were lackeys of Bush and supported his wars of unprovoked aggression against sovereign Middle Eastern nations that just happened to be enemies of Israel. I think the US is down to a few hundred troops from a scattering of insignificant countries that support the US, not out of altruism, but rather for the mercenary dollars paid in bribery. There simply aren't that many more countries we can bribe, cajole and threaten any longer. Someone once said, "if your'e not with us then your'e against us". There seems to be an awful lot of countries out there that are no longer with us.

Talk about a rabid hater! Did you come up with that vitriol all by yourself? What happens if a republican is elected? Will you leave the country like all of the "movie stars" that said they would and didn't? Or will you be a "saboteur" that destroys factories or throws rocks off of freeway overpasses at the evil symbol of "Americanism", the large commercial trucks... Yeah, no wonder, that you hide who you are, what's the matter, 'fraid to acknowledge your support of moveon.org or your relationship to George Soros??? Respectfully, SUNLINER81 |

I hope you were wearing your bib when you dribbled this diatribe.
It might also help to read, (more than look at pictures), up on other countries politics before you make simplistic statements. Howard and his party lost the election on local Australian politics not the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Also if you do read you will find the incoming party is all for reconstruction, ie current process in Afghanistan.

It never ceases to amaze me when creeps like you make worthless comments, yet have a private profile. Are you scared? |

Migbuster: Seems to me that the pillagers and plunderers of America have been quite active for decades and especially during the past seven years. The primary enemies of this country are domestic rather than foreign and most occupy seats of power in our federal government or are members of neo-con think tanks.
Sunliner: I am neither Democrat nor Republican, nor do I subscribe to the tenets of moveon.org or Soros. I do support Ron Paul and Senator Webb and Representative Murtha though. My opposition to my country's war mongering does not qualify me as a "saboteur" or an agent provocateur. rktactical: Profiles mean little to me. I have posted my profile here in the past, but no longer choose to do so. FYI, I am retired from the US Army, served in Vietnam, and am a DAV. I served six years in Korea and five years in Germany, and even served in a NIKE HERCULES battery, although my unit never busted any MIGs. |

I was there for a year and never saw any evidence of the Japanese government. Although I admit I never got to see a body of water that would support a ship either. There are an awful lot of Corollas being used as VBIEDs though. You'd think a country that has had their subway attacked by terrorists would be leaning a bit more forward in the foxhole...

It appears that you guys have just been told that he is a disillusioned former member of our armed forces. He appears to have no political affiliations because to do so would place him in a group, which he obviously despises. He has settled in comfortably supporting politicians that share his public views because then he can always say he never supported either major party when one or the other (or both) screw up. He probably used the GI Bill to get an education that has given him an excellent vocabulary.
There a a million of these guys out there. All I say is thank you for your service. I hope your disability allows you to enjoy some aspect of your life. Have a great holiday if you do celebrate one.

Sad, sad, sad. The misinformation and the mud-slinging. Afganistan operations are a part of the United Nations! It is not a USA "go-it-alone" operation, like it is in Iraq. Japan was there to support UN operations, not USA ops in Iraq.
Everytime another country changes it's political course, the "Bush-haters" and pacifists jump on the old bandwagon and start yelling "told ya' so!". Anything to justify their hatred and their warped view of the universe. This country is at war! Right or wrong (in your opinion), the COUNTRY is at war. Not just the "right" or the "left" or the "I'll straddle-the white-line" folks. All of us are at war! And yes, there are lots of bad-people out there that really do want to kill everyone of our dumb-asses! So get a grip, suck it up, and quit acting like an innocent by-stander at a riot. Sheeeesh! |

The Japanese have made progress in stretching the boundaries of their "pacifist constitution" which we pretty much imposed on them following WWII. These support missions in Iraq and the Indian Ocean have been opposed from the start. Not only the Japanese people are wary of a resurgent military, so are most of their Pacific and Asian neighbors. If they aspire to be a significant world power, they have gone about as far as they can using strictly economic means. Now they must play a larger role on the diplomatic front, and as everyone knows, diplomacy is good but diplomacy backed by a fleet just over the horizon is much better.
