So? Irrelevant. Tokyo is imo in the top 5 cities in the world.

Japan sits on a mish mash of plates, we can't hope to properly understand it. The 2011 may have alleviated some of the pressure. I do believe yellowstone is also 'overdue' an eruption. Doesn't stop people from going there. Life doesn't stop, where would you like the games to be held?

Istanbul also sits on a fault line. The UK was also in a downturn when it hosted the olympics. The radiation has been contained in a small areas and there are plans to deal with it.

You have drills to simulate nuclear war? How very paranoid. Such a shame that the youngsters are slowest. They will be your future after all, no doubt the girls are even slower. It would seem your breeding population would be hardest hit.

Everyone will die... It's like you want a war so you can prove you'll survive? I am sure you'll enjoy living in your irradiated, icy hell-hole of a country. Failing that you can live underground in some dark, concrete bunker for the rest of your life. Some victory.

Best choice by far. The Japanese are efficient, organised and have a bit of money to spend. Should make for a good games.

Big talk. The reality is that the entire middle east would become an even bigger hole and Obama and the americans will continue their lives of relative luxury.

So much casual racism here... Gene pools? **** me, grow up.

I thought perhaps this thread would have some meaningful content. The article contains no facts or figures just a remark made by a comedian. The subsequent replies are mostly in broken english utilising their limited repertoire of anti-american words. Amazingly just 2 pages in 'lightningbolt'...

I know I read that. My point still stands, more people would want military action if compelling evidence that the gov. used chem weapons is found. Where the hell are the Russians, the Iranians and the Arabs in all this?

He'll look less stupid if the regime is shown to have used chemical weapons.

It really isn't in ruins. But another conflict would be the last thing we need. To be fair to him, he lost and took it well. There is to be another debate after the UN report, with military action now ruled out I wonder what it will involve. I wonder what the Americans will do now...

He makes some good points. Most of his concerns were raised by other MP's although not so graphically.

House of commons debate was very interesting. No action will be taken until after the report.

Hardly. Vienna has a great history, far better than VC which is a relative newcomer. Vienna is also a capital and so probably has more hq's, embassies etc. Besides this isn't about prestige, otherwise the likes of NY and London would be at the top.

The people of Britain are rather better off than the people of Syria. Who will look out for them in a civil war? For peace? The main goal is to stop them from using chemical weapons. What would you like to happen?

Haven't Turkish jets already been shot down? An attack on one Nato member is an attack on us all. This war has to end now. As for the countries who do nothing and remain indifferent. They should be ashamed. They are the kind of people who would happily watch a man get mugged and justify it by...

No hard evidence yet, but a number of factors e.g the delay for the inspectors to visit the site. The scale of the attack, would the rebels have access to that much, did they have a delivery system? etc. There is an element of game theory. Did assad feel safe in using the weapons because he...

Wow, I was just working on the assumption that Assad used the weapons, the report is yet to be released. I will make my mind up fully when that report is released... Hardly brainwashed. If you read the thread you will notice my distaste for the rebels.

He'll only take action with the support of the MP's (which he probably has). To do otherwise would be political suicide. You're probably right, but France was the first to go into Libya so it can happen. We're also well positioned with our base in Cyprus.
