Freedom, huh? Does this include the freedom to know what's going on, doesn't it? What about these poor Japanese folk wanting to know. Let me pose the same hypothetical question to you: What would you think if America and Japan were embroiled in some kind of an international dispute and the two nations were presenting their respective cases to the United Nations, Japan not being a formal member of the Security Council. So the Security Council has its meeting organized in such a manner that Japan speaks first and America last. Japan makes its presentation, followed by all of the members of the Council. The whole world is watching. Finally, when it comes America's turn to present to the council, the Japanese foreign minister vacates his seat, leaves the chambers and immediately begins speaking to the media outside, this media including all of the major Japanese print and talk media networks. In essence, few of the Japanese people, because of the Japanese foreign minister's press presentation dominated the Japanese networks, would get to hear America deliver its version as to the facts in the dispute. Now, the question: Do you think that's a fair situation for the Japanese people not to hear what America has to say?

These siss-libs are like the guy in a group project that complains about the plan, doesn't do a damn thing to help out and then tries to take all of the credit for the work. We will roll up Saddam in a few weeks... the economy will strengthen, gas prices will plunge and the Republicans will trounce all of the Democrats that were opposed to this action in 04.
