RE: Canon shutting down 3 plants in China due to anti-Japan demonstrations and violence... see this is why the US = world police. If we step down, guess who gets the job.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    I have to completely disagree..
    America can be very nosy, almost always.

    Problems in foreign nations are not problems of the USA.

    In theory I agree. But if we don't do it, China will.

    I used to agree with that line of thinking..but I would like to go for a while without "helping" anyone else.
    As for the plants I just seen a list of company's in the same boat, and it was pretty long. After the power shift in the china government at the first of the year things will be back to "normal"

    Me too. We can start by cutting off the $1.55 Billion a year in aid to Egypt. But who will be there when China attacks Japan? When N. Korea attacks S. Korea? When Iran attacks Israel? We will.

    Lets not turn this into something political... everyone has differing views, so be it.
    I don't agree with many foreign affairs that US is involved in, but others may!

    Regardless.. It's like Japan and the S. Korean island of Dokdo, very controversial and two sides sees it completely differently. It looks like what's happening with China is just another land dispute from Japaneses' point of view.
    You can't help either China or S. Korea to feel very emotional about a land that was historically theirs, that Japan is claiming of their own.

    I'm from S.Korea, btw.. Laughing.gif!

    I think the problem most people have with Team America is that we abuse our police powers. Those are all legitimate reasons for intervention (I think) but when we waste our time and resources invading Afghanistan and Iraq, not only does it hurt our image but it makes it difficult to address real threats. Had China attacked when we were fully invested in Iraq and Afghanistan, we would have been in a pretty rough spot.
