			    <title>Annoying Grudge</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;But between smiles, Wen gave some hard reminders that China remains wary of Japan's handling of legacies from its bloody occupation of much of Asia, including China, up to 1945.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Get over it China! That was over 60 years ago and Japan has apologized repeatedly for their past leaders behavior whom are long dead and gone.&lt;/p&gt;

			    <title>FINALLY!</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;Robert Gates! Finally a man with cojones and a sense of principle in our government! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am very interested to see where this guy leads us. I just hope we get a similar decent administration in the next election.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			    <title>This is scary</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you think President Bush and his administration know what they are doing? I honestly think not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Going after terrorism on the offensive seems to have made things worse despite what the media will tell you. He has turned Iraq into a mass terrorism recruiting ground while killing thousands of innocent Iraqis (collatoral damage they say).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Iran and DPRNK see this and think US will come and do the same to their country, prompting the development of Nuclear weapons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Iran has Israel to worry about too since they(Israel) has nuclear weapons. However, Iran says they are using nuclear for energy, but the press says otherwise. Theres never been any shred of evidence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wasn't it Israel that provided the false intellegence to US that Iraq had weapons of mass distruction? I think this may have been Israels doing from the beginning. Israel has shown symptoms of an evil government - take their handling of the palestinians and Lebanon for example.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All this Nuclear activity is prompting other countries to consider building their own nuclear arsenal to protect themselves. Is this the cold war all over again?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;U.S. is the sherif in this global community and they need to respect that. They also need to respect the fact that other countries have different cultures and cannot always fit in the democratic model they so love to force on them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I not saying USA is the bad guy, but I'm not saying they are the good guys either. Their seems to be no good guys in this playing field. They've all done their share of gross atrocities towards innocent civilians.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I feel the Bush administration is either making mistakes repeatedly or theres some greedy ulterior motive for their stupidity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			    <title>Such a Shame</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,71724-0.html?tw=rss.index&quot;&gt;http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,71724-0.html?tw=rss.index&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's just a shame that we as human beings can be stupid enough to create such a potently fatal material that cannot be reversed to the point that we have to take such great lengths to discard it miles underneath the surface.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			    <title>Spam spam spam</title>
			    <description>&lt;p&gt;Ah what can I say except, ARGG &amp;amp;&amp;amp;*#%$ spammers!!!  Excuse my french...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There seems to be a huge increase in spam email lately and I'm sure you have gotten a few of those viagra, rolex or much needed &quot;enlarger&quot; email ads.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Usually when I get them I am speaking fluent french as I delete them one by one and thinking how I would twist off the spammers head if I ever met one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BUT... I got thinking about it some more this week and thought to myself? Why do spammers spam? Because there is $$ in it... Lots of it. So how do they make that money? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So spammers themselves are only HALF the problem. We are unwittedly the other HALF! Take away one half and the other will falter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are many people actually paying attention to these emails and actually ordering some Viagra so that they don't roll off the bed at night!!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;STOP!! When you get these emails - HIT THE DELETE KEY!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
