# Hi...From the Far East

Are you British? If you were, you must have got something different view from American's.

We're now seeing the drums beaten again in an apparent march to war with Iran. -squiggleslash

You think so? I'm not entirely certain it is so. And for reasons I used to make a comment, I am dubious whether Americans're seriously thinking of it.
Do you have any idea how to make the role of UN more viable?

Thank you for the quick reply. I figured out that we shared the common consciousness toward world affairs in line with the Middle East. I'm going to read what you assigned to me, sometime after you wrote another journal, I would like to write about it besides all of them.

I felt sorry for using your nickname while I was corresponding with other slashdotters, I used your name somehow in order to justiufy my position on war on terror, I knew it's not a very good thing, sorry.

Two points I disagree with you is about attitude towards Kyoto protocol and Bush Administration. Though it was held where I used to live, I am opposed to ratify Kyoto treaty because of various questions I previously posed. Especially deforestation sounds like an bad excuse for already developed countries. Developping countries need to cut timber just to make a living. Centuries ago America was covered with forests, you know?

Unlike many liberal's attitude towards Mr Bush, he is popular to Japanese in general because of his liberal position to free trade and allied countries, those are essentially important to us. So his evaluation varies and depends on countries. I myself feel he's agreeable.

But if you believe that, you can also rationalize virtually any system used to bring it about. -squiggleslash

If you described are all true, you could claim the war on terror in Iraq to be bogus, but I don't think the situations there are not as bad as you mentioned, believe your country, your men -soldiers.

but it's unfortunate that, by and large, we're dealing with a group that cannot admit it fucked up. - squiggleslash

In the end, you are right. We have to be realistic. Irrelevant to whether we like or not. - I will keep on reading your articles with much pleasure, so sometimes I hope you browse my articles, please make a comment, any comment welcome, take care!
