Menashi-Kunashir Rebellion or War (クナシリ・メナシの戦い Kunashiri Menashi no tatakai?) or Menashi-Kunashir Battle was a battle in 1789 between Ainu (an ethnic group indigenous to Hokkaidō) and Japanese on the Shiretoko Peninsula in northeastern Hokkaidō. It began in May, 1789 when Ainu attacked Japanese on Kunashir Island and parts of the Menashi District as well as at sea. More than 70 Japanese were killed. The Japanese executed 37 Ainu identified as conspirators and arrested many others. Reasons for the revolt are not entirely clear, but they are believed to include a suspicion of poisoned saké being given to Ainu in a loyalty ceremony, and other objectionable behavior by Japanese traders.
Quite frankly the caller on that video didn't appear to be truly honestly distressed about the savagery.. it was just something in her voice..
And honestly.. the God honest truth.. what if it was taking place? What can we do? Oil embargo? Trade embargo? The west already rejects Iranian oil, the East is their main consumer. War? Send in the troops to save the minority? Worked well in Iraq. Let's say the Iranians are slaughtering their people like animals, what the hell can we in the international community do???? We already knew they where an ultra religious dictatorship.. we already knew the students and enlightened individuals wanted change since the last revolution..
I see no point in airing the distress in Iran, unless it's to harden the thoughts against it's government.

oh wow videos on YOUTUBE
what does that prove? It could be protest in IRAQ or Pakistan or maybe some INTEL agents incite a riot within IRAN
Your arguments bear no weight whatsoever
Usually I'd add you to my ignore list but my 10 slot limit is full of juveniles at the moment but in any event your posts are entertaining to read. Like watching inspector Clouseau trying to find his way out of a toilet stall.
British and American agents are on the ground in Iraq fomenting revolt among opposition groups and potential traitors in Saddam Hussein's inner circle as part of a covert campaign to topple him, senior officials disclosed last night.
The admission, on the eve of a conference of Iraqi opposition figures in London, is powerful evidence of a renewed determination in Washington and London to overthrow the Iraqi dictator.
Although the officials conceded that the CIA and MI6 operations were unlikely to succeed without direct military action, a senior source in the Bush administration said that the world should not be misled by the lack of overt military activity.
"American personnel are supporting the Iraqi opposition and working with dissatisfied elements within Saddam's regime, even though he has killed quite a few of these people. Britain is involved too," the official told The Telegraph.
"We could wake up one morning and find regime change in Baghdad has happened completely unexpectedly. It would be hard to do but it's not impossible."
An Iraqi judge yesterday issued arrest warrants for two British soldiers, presumed to be SAS men, whose detention by Iraqi police and subsequent rescue by British forces in Basra last week has thrown an unprecedented spotlight on Britain's role in Iraq.

Hitler was initially financed by the US, in particular George Bush's Grandfather.
but you'd know that if you studied history instead of tabloids
We could argue for hours about the color of the sky or Madonna's underwear but I've proved my point, you sidestep the fact that you cannot offer proof, only claims posted to blogs and blogs of blogs.
In any event, I've grown tired of your propaganda for one night, there's only so much garbage one can take

The Mullahs are not just gonna take the money and run,y'all what the rebels in Iran are dealing with here are fanatics who with a apocalyptic mindset they will try and destroy the nations infrastructure possibly with help and encouragement from Russia and China they are not about to let a openly pro-western government have a chance to grow.

Hmmm....well I heard this earlier today...and I definitely smelled something wrong. Maybe its all of the Persian women I have known and interacted with in my life...and its been quite a few considering where I live and the circles I grew up in...or maybe thats not fair and its just being in the business of where people lie to you alot...but if there was some truth to this story...there is some exaggeration there as well...which again pulls all of it into question.
Secondly John...what you need to understand about this place.....
Even if the islamic regime has always behaved in a disgusting fashion, most people here think the American Regime has behaved in just as much of a disgusting fashion and we got our own problems.
The reality is that the people of Iran have a much better shot at dealing with a bad regime than the people of western countries have. If it is truly that bad over there than the people have the power and they can stop it themselves. In fact its inspiring to me. Gives me hope.
There is nothing that the US or UK or Russia or anyone else can do to help the problems in Iran. Just like there isnt anything the UK or Russia or Iran can do to help with the problems in my back yard.
So when we see this kind of stuff pushed around here it smells fishy.
But if you truly think what you are doing can help someone, you need to probably find another site because you wont accomplish much here. Unfortunately for you and your cause.
