I think that you are correct.

So, what you are saying is that Brown is preying on the gullible?

Nope. Brown states it is fiction. The publisher states it is fiction. The bookstores have it listed as fiction. Book lists have it as fiction. Seems pretty simple to me. It is fiction.

Damn, this continues to get better and better. The nation agreed that Brown's work is non-fiction? I guess that explains why every book list has it listed as fiction. Brown's website specifically points out it is fiction. It is put in the fiction section of bookstores, except when it is put in a special location and labeled new fiction.

I am doing this from memory, so forgive me. The Japanese and Koreans (North and South) claim Tok Islet as their own. It is located in the East Sea (or Sea of Japan for the Japanese). Last month, the Japanese claimed the island as their own. The South Koreans claim that this (along with the textbook change) are deliberate attempts by the Japanese to justify their colonial rule of Korea.

They need the Americans for money and real estate. They would not exist today if it were not for the Americans. They can try to stonewall Bolton, but it will just make them even more irrelevant than they are currently. Annan wants a legacy and he wants reform to be his legacy. He can use Bolton to achieve that goal.

I disagree. He will shake things up. He is not afraid to tell them what they refuse to admit: there is too much corruption and too little action on important international issues. One of the problems with the UN is that they refuse to address the negatives in their organization. They just prefer to sweep things under the carpet in hopes that they will go away. With Bolton there, they will be forced to address these issues, making the organization stronger. Some people think that he could actually save the UN from themselves and give the organization some meaning. If you send someone less "abrasive," then you will see the UN continue down the same road to irrelevancy.

I do all of my own yardwork except for removal of large trees. Then I hire a pro. Smaller trees I will do myself, including digging up the stumps. It is good exercise.

They are fighting it on all levels of government and are taking the issue internationally. They are also fighting the Japanese on the Tok Islet, but that is a different story. Both broke about the same time and are really pissing off the Koreans on both sides of the DMZ.

IIRC, the flare-up started in Korea before it started in China. Are the South Koreans untrustworthy like the commies?

Because it is fun to see you get your panties in a bunch over fiction. but...but...but...it is not true....but...but...but...he is not telling the truth in his work of fiction.

There are a lot of people ticked off with the new Japanese textbook. Both the South and North Koreans are attacking it along with the Chinese. Not a smart move on the part of the Japanese.

The UN needs reform. You are not going to get it from a limp-wristed panderer. They need someone who is going to shake things up or they will whither away.

Why would I care to read about any of this? You said that the author states this is non-fiction. I proved you wrong. End of story. Fiction is fiction, regardless of how much you want it to be otherwise.

RMPL.

Actually, the author specifically mentions that it is fiction. "The Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction." - Dan Brown Linky Thingy

He didn't need to attend the meetings. He had a "plan" to fix everything.

For now. It will be banned soon.

You cold-hearted bastard. You tenderize them by clubbing them like you would a baby seal.

We can always toss in Kennedy, if you want to stick with the Senate.

That gets rid of the toughness, but does not handle the gamey taste. I am telling you. Go the sauce route.

Yes, but if you make a nice sauce for it you will be fine.
