The visit of China's Premier Wen Jiabao to Japan in April will be the first official visit of a Chinese government leader to the country in almost seven years.
It was not long ago that the relationship between the two Asian heavyweight countries had slipped to the lowest point in decades.
The reason was the former Japanese prime minister Junichiro Koizumi's repeated visits to Toky...

What about the fact that Washington, as he approached his execution date, could hear the electric chair being tested, and could see the prison lights dim? Too bad. "He still has nightmares from time to time," attorney Bob Hall told me.
"We don't have any right to insist on an apology," Hall added. "It would be a nice act on the part" of the state.
Indeed it would. Yet that...

A semi-governmental Japanese fund established to provide assistance to women forced into wartime sexual slavery failed to help reconciliation between Japan and South Korea and Taiwan, the fund's executive director said.
The government's failure to pass the fund into law when it was established in 1995 allowed civic and political groups to put pressure on victims in South Korea not to ac...

There are few sports that can match the graceful sensuality and poise of a male/female
figure skating team performing a seemingly back-breaking maneuver on an ice rink in front of thousands of anxious fans.
When you replace the man and woman with Will Ferrell ("Anchorman") and John Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite"), the results aren't quite as pretty.
Nonetheless, the combination ...

Maybe it's because I just filed my taxes. Or perhaps it's because I finally figured out after almost a month of trying to replace the batteries in the smoke detector that it doesn't have any (who's ever heard of a hard-wired fire alarm system?). Either way, my birthday is around the corner and although I'm now just a year and 19 days away from being smack in the middle of my 30s, I couldn...

Sami Al-Arian is one of many dozens, likely hundreds, of political prisoners in the US today but is noteworthy because of his high-profile status and as an especially egregious example of persecution and injustice in post-9/11 America with its climate of state-induced fear and resulting repression with special targeting of Latino immigrants and all Muslims characterized as "Islamofascists" beca...

GWANGJU, South Korea, April 6 (Yonhap) -- In a small, dimly lit room, 81-year-old Yi Ok-seon sits still on her bed, gazing into a corner and whispering to herself that she should have died long ago. She is one of tens of thousands of women forced to serve as sex slaves for Japan's World War II soldiers.
Yi believes she does not have long to live yet insists that she cannot die before Jap...

South Korea today is a success story, but in the early 1900s the situation was different. A traditional, agrarian society partially under the dominion of a weakening China, Korea was overrun by Japan's aims to establish territorial governments in Manchuria and throughout Pacific Asia. Annexation in 1910 ushered in a period of de facto Japanese rule, ended only by the Japanese surrender in 1945...

“I am a child of the Kamalist revolution”, declared 92-year-old Muazzez İlmiye Çığ of Turkey. Ms. Cig, an expert on Sumer, observed in her book My Reactions as a Citizen, that Islamic-style head scarves date back more than 5,000 years - several millennia before the birth of Islam - and were worn by priestesses who initiated young men into sex. As if that was no...
