Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).
This year is Mobile Suit Gundam's 30th birthday.

1 can you assumed that they are friends because they walk on one road at the same time?他们走路距离近 你就能推定他们朋友了吗？
2、qiu yu said she had a friend with dark-skin so the attacker maybe her friends? how rediculous the conclusion is.
even babaxiaoqiang didnt point out the man mightbe a friend of qiuyu. so what?
China finds an Olympic hero at last…
For much of the last two weeks its seemed as if China couldn’t catch a PR break around the Torch Relay….
From the picture, it seems a few pro chinese and pro Tibetan protestors walking together.
Nothing to suggest he is a friend of Chinese supporters.
this is just intoxication. Come on!
And Lady Di was killed by Chinese Government too?
Please show some respect.
ridiculous evidence…they were just heading to the same destination.
Please not be so CNN!
I think everybody burst into tears when they saw her protect the torch with all your effort.
Jin Jing defend the Olympic spirit…
We should shame….
NO VIOLENT for everybody….
The Torch Bearers
The ?Boys in Blue?
at the run
formed a scrum
and the ceremony
was filled with acrimony
as the Olympic torch became their bone,
Dobermans showing their teeth to the crowds.
This is America, not in America,
America?s runner screamed, ?They can?t do that to me!?
With the pride of a former slave daughter,
Majora Cartora refused to roll over
and her adopted Tibetan flag was taken away.
Shocked she cried, ?This is America!
Not in America, they can?t do that to me!?
Blessed is the one whose strength
loosens the weighted chains.
Damned are those who for base medal
slip on a dog?s chains.
Kiran Bedi, India?s torch bearer,
Refused to ?run in a cage.?
She carried herself with honor.
It was little Jin Jing,
crippled, unable to run,
who carried the torch.
For China, for the world,
She transcending the nation?s fiery nationalism,
and the Olympic flame glowed
brightly in her cheeks.
Behind the Great Net-e-citizen Wall of China,
spoken over angry nationalist tirades,
during the home coming parade,
Jin Jing spoke not for her country
Or an international commercial company,
She spoke for the grocer workers,
Renouncing the anti-French Carrefour boycott.
The Torch Bearers,
Jin Jing, chipping at the e-wall,
Kiran Bedi, plucky with the authorities,
Majora Cartora?s, thwarted heart,
In them the flame burns,
With Olympic aspirations,
Before the assemble crowds.
