9/19    Here in the US nearly all the korean restaurants I've seen are
        koreak BBQ places.  Or other restaurants that serve a lot of meat.
        Is typical of the average diet in korea?  Or just korean
        food for americans?  Thanks.
        \_ My girlfriend says the preponderance of meat in korean restaurant
           food has to do with restaurants being a sort of a splurge. Food
           at home is dominated by broth, vegetables, seafood and rice.

9/19    Have any one actually read Bush's National Security Strategy?
        It looks like in the name of freedom and liberty, we are essentially
        going to destory any nation that has a remote chance of challenge
        US's dominating position in the world.
        \_ That is untrue.  China and India have more potential to challenge
           the USA's hegemony but we aren't stopping them are we?
           Is your generalization brush a bit too thick?
        \_ That is sadly how the US is. The US needs war to survive,
           we need to constantly find targets or otherwise people who
           backed little bush will not be getting rich. Bush actually
           doesn't give a shit about national security, he doesn't
           even know what it is. What he knows is, he who throw money
           into his campaign, he much pay them back with real hard tax
           dollar. You can bet that if, and when we are done with
           Iraq, we will immediately move on to the next target (that
           in time we will surely identify, anyone remember China
           before 911?) Without war, little bush know he will be
           facing critizm from all over regarding his administration,
           when we are in war, the country is much more united, and
           that's his edge. He'll be in the office for 4 years and
           we'll have 4 years of war. You can be sure of that. If it's
           not iraq, it'll be someone else. Bush doesn't give a fuck,
           he needs war to survive.
           \_ the problem right now is there's no balance in the
              world. The US is too powerful for any nation to
              challenge directly, so we do whatever the hell we
              please, with no regard to consequences or human life or
              whatever. And then you have this war hungry bush come on
              board, bin-ladin gave him exactly what he wanted, a way
              to put america into 4 years of war. What Clinton built
              in 8 years, bush destoried in a few months. The good
              thing is he'll only be in office in 4 years and we all
              hope the damage is not too severe. The same cannot be
              said for the other countries. You'll bet that after the
              war, there will be 100 more bin-ladins in the world that
              will want to destory everything that is about America.

           \_ This kind of shit is unprecedented in our history, pal, at least
              as an open book policy.  What ever happened to the republican
              rhetoric of "we can't serve as the world police force..."  I

                 speeches seem more like NBA/WWF pre-game/match bad mouthing
                 and blustering than serious deliberations on policy. I guess
                 anything more is too much to expect from someone who thought
                 greeks were "grecians".
                 \_ Here's someone who didn't read the new policy.  Come back
                    when you're grown up and stopped watching wrestling.
              \_ The policy is not to be the world's police force.  The policy
                 is to stomp the shit out of anyone that is working on ways to
                 kill us.  If they want to kill each other such as in Africa,
                 that's ok.  The new policy says nothing about that.  Not our
                 problem because we're still not the world's police force.
                 \_ Given this, why hasn't America invaded Columbia? Their
                    government is incapable of handling the drug trafficing
                    trade. Surely ridding America of the death, violence,
                    crime, and economic hardship caused by Columbian drugs
                    would be more useful than invading a country that might
                    have WMD that it could use.

           \_ America != The Executive Branch. I love my country and the

              can't find it there, and it's distinctly american.

              to ur own country will be appreciated based on my past
              experiences.  Cal paraphenelia?
              \_ Actually, a coworker of mine was in Japan a few months ago
                 and said he saw See's candies in the airport for like $35/box.
              \_ we took See's candies to Japan on our biz trip and found out
                 later that they were sick of getting them. Maybe try Godiva's

                 \_ Who's "we"?
        \_ Apples.  The common American apple.  I have it on *very* good
           authority that apples are a rare and special delicacy in Japan.
           Each one raised carefully by hand, a work of art.  And if you dare
           disagree about the price of apples in Japan I'm going to flip a huge
           ass table and run off and mope in the stairwell.
           \_ Apples are expensive because US apples are prohibited from
              import. So if you declare them, they will be confiscated.
              You could always try smuggling them in.
              \_ Fruits in general are expensive in Japan,
        \_ Bring a Michael Jordan signed basketball, or some Native
           American craft.
           \_ Along this vein, how about Dodgers and other sports crap? I'm
              sure they have it there, but it's probably heavily marked up.
              \_ Better off with Seattle Mariners. Ichiro is better known out
                 there.
           \_ Or maybe baseball/etc sports cards?  Just guessing.
              \_ Baseball is the #2 sport there, after sumo.  But I don't know
                 if American baseball stars are popular there.
                 \_ Do they have sports cards for their own athletes or is this
                    an American thing?  (having cards I mean)
        \_ Ivory Tusks or Sea Turtle shells.  Saw it on the news.
        \_ Blonde women.

        \_ French seem pretty arrogant.  I once met a French who has a strong
           accent.  When I saw him reading out some French signs, I ask him if
           he's French, and he replied "Yes I am French.  I'm proud to be

           \_ Wow, that's a great story.

                 drivers or people crossing the street slowly even though I was
                 the only passenger and I don't speak French.
