How surprised I was to see posters all over campus about a debate being held this coming Tuesday. The debate is entitled "Immigration, National Security, and American Citizenship," and is being sponsored by the only conservative professor-run group on campus. The debate is between Ruben Navarrette and Michelle Malkin.

Anyway, I'm writing this diary in the hopes that one of you can help me. I'm fairly sure there will be a question and answer part of the debate, but I'm not positive on what to ask.

While all of America is waking up to a nice Sunday morning, here in Japan, it's nearly the next day. 9/11 has come and gone here.

This year, 9/11 for the Japanese had more significance: it was election day. I asked several people who they voted for, and although some actually voted progressively (my host father voted for the Democratic Party of Japan - the liberal party), the common response was, "Jimintou wa tabun katsu" - the Liberal Democratic Party (which is actually neither liberal nor democratic) will probably win."

So what's it like in a foreign country with all this stuff going on in America? Read on. Read More

Everyone knows about the troop shortage, and how it's getting worse. After all, most of the troops stationed over there are coming up on the two-year limit, so they'll have to leave.

Yesterday, Hillary and a bunch of other Democrats called to "increase the size of the Army by 80,000 troops," which breaks down into "20,000 troops annually in each of the next four years." The idea seems all well and good, but are these just empty words?

First off, this is my first kos submission (I've been a commenter up until now) so feel free to criticize me and stuff.

On June 22, Karl Rove said that "conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

Consider, then, this article from the AP. Read More
