Osama bin Laden also reportedly says his group reserve the right to retaliate against countries that are involved in the war, including Britain, Spain, Australia, the Netherlands, Japan, Italy and Kuwait
Japan invaded Korea around 1894 or 1895 and resulted in the Sino-Japanese war and the Russo-Japanese war later. However , that was not the first invasion by Japan.
During the Treaty of Portsmouth, Korea was officially handed over to Japan to be a colony against the will of the Korean people.
During the occupation, hundreds of thousandths of Koreans we re abducted to Japan to become forced labors and comfort wom en. Koreans were forced to give up their culture and languag e, just like what was done to the Okinawan people, and speak only Japanese. Koreans were also looted of their assets whi ch were then transported to Japan. To this date, the abducte d Koreans living in Japan are still denied Japanese citizenship.

Why the prisons, which have lots to hide, would let them in?

なお、元記事 In 1865 a group of 15 Japanese peasants cautiously approached Bernard Petitjean, the first Christian missionary to work in Nagasaki since 1614. Speaking in the sanctuary of the new church, the peasant leader confessed, "Our hearts are the same as yours." He asked to see an image of "Maruya-sama," or the Virgin Mary. It had been a long road for Japan's "hidden Christians," descendants of people converted by Portuguese missionaries in the late 1500's during a brief window of religious freedom in Japan. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/25/international/asia/25JAPA.html

The Cult at the End of the World: The Terrifying Story of the Aum Doomsday Cult, from the Subways of Tokyo to the Nuclear Arsenals of Russia By Andrew Marshall,David E.

>>497 探すの苦労したぜ。苗字より大切なものは.... Joji Obara was born in 1952 to an impoverished Korean family in postwar Osaka. His father had been a scrap collector, then a taxi driver who worked his way into owning a fleet of cars and a string of pachinko parlors from which he amassed a fortune. Perhaps mindful of the discrimination faced by Koreans, when the young Obara—then known by his Korean name Kim—was asked to pen a farewell sentiment in his junior-high class yearbook, he wrote: "Upbringing is more important than family name."
Mark Fields: A native New Yorker with a Harvard M.B.A., he appeared slick, headstrong and inexperienced. At 38 he was Mazda's youngest president ever.
he usually hits the office by 6 a.m. and closes his days with 10 p.m. weight lifting and a two-mile run. He likes to drive fast too. At Mazda he skipped the chauffeur service in favor of a red RX-7 sports car.
And he had all salaried workers attend a two-day off-site, at which they were told that "Mazda must change or die." To keep up morale, Fields instituted flexible hours, on-site day care and time off to care for a family member. Once a month he would have lunch with plant workers to solicit suggestions for improvements. Mazda squeaked out an operating profit as a result of such changes.
At Mazda, where he started as sales and marketing senior adviser, he found a remarkably inefficient bureaucracy. Shortly after arriving, he requested a report on Japan's domestic-car market. Three days later, a tome the size of the New York City phone book, and about as illuminating, appeared on his desk. "Its conclusions were severely lacking," Fields says. "Our investment bankers knew more about our business than some of our directors."

A woman is lured in with a relatively cheap first-time fee of $50 to $100. On that visit, she must choose her "main" teacher. Because whomever she picks will receive an up-front commission and half the take from all of her bills whenever she comes to the school. These are the equivalent of Hostess bars, which have their roots in geisha culture, and are places where a woman can go and be doted on by foreign teachers.
Chika Aoyama, 23, is on her fourth jaunt to a host club, this time with a group of associates from her job in TV. As a leggy graduate of one of the country's best schools, Keio University, she defies the stereotype of host-club customers as dateless losers or low-class nightlife workers. "Just a year ago, I thought host clubs were scary places where men tried to fool you out of a lot of money, " Aoyama says. "But I found the boys are so friendly and unthreatening. In the shortest time, it's gone from illicit to normal."
Despite Kazuhisa Ishii's efforts to revamp his delivery, some in the organization are concerned it won't help his efficiency and he should be traded.
Other clubs also have concerns about Ishii's command, though his contract situation has stirred some interest.
Ishii has a salary of $2.6 million this season, of which $1.35 million is deferred without interest. He is guaranteed $3.2 million in 2005, of which $2.05 million is deferred without interest. The Dodgers hold an option for $3.25 million in 2006, or a $2.2 million buyout, and an option for $4 million, or $1.1 million buyout, in 2007.
Ishii was a 14-game winner as a rookie in 2002 and went 9-7 with a 3.86 earned-run average last season.
"We definitely have some pieces we can move," DePodesta said, commenting only generally about the team's situation.

I know teacher at NOVA who had coitus with every one of his four female students (two of then were best friends a la 3P) and five out of the OLs employed at the office, including the manageress.
Let us get our nomenclature correct. NOVA is NOT an English school. It is a financial loan organization. Any foreign language teaching that happens to take place there is superfluous and not part of the core business. English teaching there is a sideshow; which is why they pay bottom-of-the-barrel wages for bottom-of-the-barrel teachers. Any dispossessed bum in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, (including non native English speaking Qubecquois) or the UK, with a Chinese forged college diploma can land in any one of the NOVA loan offices throughout the land.

One day earlier, a reporter joked with Matsui about hitting a home run on opening day and he responded, "No chance." Instead, he became the third Met to homer in his first major league at-bat, the first player since 1938 to hit his first major league home run leading off on opening day, and the first player since Dwight Evans in 1986 to homer on the first pitch of the season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
This was the same guy who hit .192 in spring training, led the Mets with 19 strikeouts and became the subject of concern from New York to Japan. Amazingly enough, he was 3 for 3 with three runs batted in in his regular-season debut, reached base all five times, and ripped a pair of doubles to right field.
Before the opener, Mike Cameron had told Matsui to close his eyes and pretend he was back in Tokyo. That piece of advice worked, in a way, for everyone.
Amnesty International's report revealed that China, Iran, the USA and Viet Nam accounted for 84 percent of the 1,146 known executions carried out in 28 countries in 2003. In China, limited and incomplete records available to Amnesty International indicated that at least 726 people were executed in 2003, but the true figure was believed to be much higher. A senior Chinese legislator suggested in March 2004 that China executes "nearly 10,000" people each year. At least 108 executions were carried out in Iran. Sixty-five people were executed in the USA. At least 64 people were executed in Viet Nam. http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGACT500122004?open&of=ENG-392

Rumours could cost brand Beckham its US earnings, say experts -------------------------------------------------------------------- The rumours and allegations about the Beckhams' marriage could cost the couple a lot more than their private happiness. The welter of tabloid headlines is going to hit their earning power as well, marketing experts said yesterday. The Beckham brand is said to be worth some £200m, thanks partly to the careful presentation of a happy private life. Along with sporting deals, the couple also endorse Marks & Spencer, Vodafone and Pepsi.

To prosecute charges of genocide and crimes against humanity, the UN needs proof that the bodies found are those of non-combatants. This means answering two questions: who the victims were, and how they were killed. The only people who can answer both these questions are forensic anthropologists. Before being sent to Rwanda in 1996, Clea Koff was a twenty-three-year-old graduate student studying prehistoric skeletons in the safe confines of Berkeley, California. Over the next four years, her gruelling investigation into events that shocked the world transformed her from a wide-eyed student into a soul-weary veteran -- and a wise and deeply thoughtful woman. Her unflinching account of those years -- what she saw, how it affected her, who went to trial based on evidence she collected -- makes for an unforgettable read, alternately riveting, frightening and miraculously hopeful. Readers join Koff as she comes face to face with the human meaning of genocide: exhuming almost five hundred bodies from a single grave in Kibuye,

日本人好きの変態外人が帰国してから行った犯罪 Rapists bet on victims' silence and lose Seattle Times On a cold, clear morning last November, three Japanese teenagers waiting at a bus stop accepted a ride from a smiling American woman in a maroon Subaru. What happened next is called by Spokane Police Chief Roger Bragdon "one of the most despicable crimes" he's ever dealt with. The driver picked up two men waiting nearby. The students were handcuffed and blindfolded. One woman was driven a short distance and released; the other two were brought to a Spokane Valley house where they were raped over seven hours. The assaults were videotaped and photographed. The students were informed that if they told anybody what happened, the videotapes would be sent to their fathers. A week later, three locals were charged with multiple counts of kidnapping, rape and witness intimidation: Lana Vickery, 43, a clerk at an adult-novelty store; David Dailey, 38, a former carpenter who had been investigated in previous sex offenses; and Edmund "Eddie" Ball, 40, a leader in a local sadomasochist sex club. The rape victims, 18 and 19 The leader was Ball, a former truck driver and a devotee of bondage and sadomasochism. He co-founded the Spokane Power Exchange, or SPEX, a sex club of about 200 members, which met regularly for sex parties and bondage workshops.
Debatable: An evil deserter or just an old man? By David Steinkraus
When Charles Jenkins set foot on Japanese soil Sunday, he risked arrest by U.S. authorities who say he deserted the Army and went to North Korea in 1965. The question is: Should we bother with a 64-year-old man in ill health? No Jenkins left the Army a long time ago. He hasn't lived in the United States for years, and likely he won't ever do so. His Japanese wife says the family wants to live in Japan. The evidence against him is far from convincing. Here was a 10-year veteran of the Army with a spotless record. The government says it has notes which Jenkins wrote and that indicate he deserted the military, but this evidence hasn't been released, and Jenkins' family has questioned the authenticity of the notes based just on what they've been told. Jenkins is not a Nazi concentration camp guard who was involved in mass murder. He is not an escaped criminal who has been tried and convicted. He may have been kidnapped, as his wife was. He may be a deserter. But he is no danger to anyone. http://www.journaltimes.com/articles/2004/07/19/local/iq_2996841.txt

Korean massage parlor http://www.worldsexguide.org/stamford.txt.html My choice was a thirtyish korean lady with a very shapely figure (artificially enhanced I'm shure). After that we returned to the bedroom and she proceeded to give me a very good massage with a few erotic touches like rubbing her breasts on my back. After I was totally relaxed and somewhat aroused she asked me if I wanted 'that' (pointing to my erection) taken care of and when I said I did she asked how and I asked for full service and offered $100. She accepted and I gave her the money. At this point she left the room for a few minutes to get some supplies. When she came back she proceeded to very vigorously (too vigorously) give me a hand and blow job for a couple of minutes. She seemed to feel that it was her job to get me to cum as quickly as possible and did not seem to realize that even a penis has a pain threshold.

'I'm sure China will try to wind us up and but we won't react,' he said. 'They can overheat if they want but we will stay cool.'
China coach Arie Haan refused to collect his runner-up medal in protest at the officiating of Kuwaiti referee Saad Kameel. "The first goal was from a free kick to Japan that should have gone to us, the second was handball and the third was after a foul on Sun Jihai," fumed the Dutchman. "I didn't feel ready to take the medal. How can you win when this happens? I will say Japan have more experience, experience to make fouls the referee does not see." A bus carrying delegates was attacked, with bottles and garbage thrown, Meanwhile, around 2,000 Japanese fans, heavily protected during the match by security officials, were locked inside the stadium for over almost three hours to save them from being attacked. http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/200408/s1171325.htm

The couple spent $2,500 to travel from Japan to Diamond Valley Lake near Hemet to catch the fish that could change their lives. "For me it is bass or die," says Suzuki. "I have bet my life for bass." This is not as singular a passion as it might seem. Each year hundreds of anglers like Suzuki head for the other side of the Pacific to Bass Central. They know U.S. fishing hot spots as well as they know Disneyland and the Grand Canyon: Lake Fork, Texas; Lake Okeechobee, Fla.; and Lake Casitas, northwest of Ventura. They come alone or in groups, sometimes with family or on a honeymoon, always with big dreams and pricey tackle. 続はサイトで、1週間以内なら無料 http://www.latimes.com/features/outdoors/la-os-japanbass10aug10.story
