Hello Tekuboi-san. Gideon Rose is holding a hui soon, care of the Noo Yawk Times. Submit your questions. It's today at 4pm, Eastern Time [Eastern USA, not far eastern]. forums.nytimes.com@@.f4a5ed9
Of course, the question which matters is: Will the USA support and organize a United Nations reconstitution conference to change the UN from a World War II Victor's Club to a New United Nations which is actually representative of We the Sheople? Not that France was a victor, but they got into the Veto gang anyway, presumably because they were once upon a time a major force in the world, full of Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite. Even giving a replica of their little statue by the Seine to the USA to welcome the surging tide of refugees from warring, feudal, Europe.
Having Syria and Libya as 'real' countries, with a comparable vote to India, Japan, Germany and Mexico is absurd.
So, come on mate, ask the real questions, cut to the chase and abandon the quagmire of feudal warring nation states. We've seen up close and personal, over millennia and now in our time, what a mess that makes. It's the Arabian Nights writ large.
My email's on the blink on my notebook computer and it's cold upstairs, so maybe somebody would kindly deliver my question. [I'm lying in bed at 7.20 am with wind and rain and winter outside - brrrrr ..... oh for a European heat wave and some serious greenhouse effect = let's get that NUN organized and get the Iraqi oil out of the ground and get Iraq on its feet and the the Cow troops home to their villages].
From the sidelines,
Mqurice
PS: Did you see Hu Jintao is coming to Kiwiland in October? He might be nicer to us than the mean old USA which keeps giving us a boot because we don't like Weapons of Mass Destruction or noocular power plants [especially in our harbours]. Maybe I should click my mouse and invest in China instead of the USA.
<At 4 p.m. ET today, Gideon Rose, managing editor of Foreign Affairs and an expert on national security and terrorism, far right, will answer readers' questions about yesterday's bombing in Baghdad and the United States occupation of Iraq. All questions must be submitted in advance.
