  1. That was one damn fine and scary article. Crazy how countries are willing to go to war over a couple of acres of rock. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow! The US spends about as much as percentage of GDP and has a similar percentage of the population in the military as Burma and Burma is considered a hard core military state.

  3. I'll say the inevitable "think how the country would improve if that money was spent on education, healthcare or lowering taxes"

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
