The people need to know that Clinton is a prominent member of the Bilderbergs, The Club of Rome, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission. ALL pushing for a ONE WORLD GOVERMENT, a ONE WORLD RELIGION, under THE NEW WORLD ORDER. They want ALL the worlds citizens to be microchipped by 2017. They want GMO in the food, they want flouride in the water, both causing cancer! No wonder there is so much cancer in this country. Your own regime is killing you! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

I feel sympathy with U.S. secretary of Clinton for a overseas long journey being too busy to take a rest. Why are she and the U.S. government so busy? It seems because they are too much concerned about foreign affairs. Why do they pay so much attention to and so much interfare with overseas? It would be that, as you easily suppose, they concern so much about their profit that they cannot let the foreign conditions be as dealt by natives. But, there seems exist one more tough reason which strongly supports and defences U.S. policy. I could say it would be their priority of saying 'justice' often thanksfully sheltering them from protest. When Clinton and the U.S. administration take it granted that there are hundreds kinds of justice for hundreds of people, they could be more humble to feel ease and devote to domestic issues . I am sure American people notice that there is no only-one justice accepted whole in the world.

Thank you for your comments. I think we should learn how to act from others ispecially when solving disputes among neighboring countries. The opponent's opinion deserves to be respected as much as own. The difference between them is just only derived from the difference between each of standpoint. We should be generous at least to listen to and hopefully enough to comprehend what others claim one another. I hope every people and government are so generous and patient that holding territorial and other disputes are solved by negotiation among parties concerned to result in win-win.

it is very honest comment, i agree with you very much. because US consider himself as the biggest power in the world(it is truth), and he think he has the responsibility to deal with all the conflicts or disputes between other countries.so he is busiest. if he can become more humbled, maybe it can be better.

US has succeeded in distablising the Arab region, now making a shift to the Asia. Oh, that reminds me of the biblical times the response of Luciffer the devil that he wanders arround the world. What is Lucifer doing, moving round like roaring Lion seeking whom to devour- to kill, to still and to destroy. Is the US today any difference from the Luciffer, the devil's statement and mission? Asia be warned and be wise, just go back to your negotiation tables and resolve you differences. Do not allow the enermy come inbetween you. US is a wicked intruder, that never goes into a region without leaving the region messed. ... leaving Arab region destablised and horrific now Asia. The devil is a liar here.

There is a song in VietNam says: the Western colonized our country and ruled us in 100 years, but the CHINESE invaded our land, oppressed, chased and treated us as if we weren't human beings in 1000 years.

I believe China and Vietnam will overcome the difficulties and cooperate on fighting against USA. In fact, USA used chemical weapons on Vietnam lands and caused thousands defected Vietnamese children, China didnt. I also believe Vietnam is using USA to balance China but never really trust USA just like China never trusted USA but we still want to make money from them, LOL.

To Harry,
China tried to invade Vietnam many times but always failed. China is never a friend of Vietnam. China is an evil country that must be broken into pieces and the world will be at peace.

I like many other Australians dearly want the USA and Ms Clinton to butt out of this region. I object to your big brother tactics, to your war-mongering and to your attempts to destabilise this region of the world to our detriment.

Take a look at these Islands on Google maps: http://goo.gl/maps/uklvC then make up your own minds... closer to Japan or China? Who owns them should be clear.

Over the last century China has proven remarkably benign and a good partner to the region and Australia. America on the other hand has never stopped waging wars.

We don't want you screwing up our region so please, just go away. Stay inside your own borders and worry about Canada and Mexico and your deteriorating, failing economy.

During world war 2 Japan wanted to take over Autralia and attacked USA. Japan does not believe Japan's Class A war criminals of World War II were guilty of war crimes. Don't forget Japan invaded many countries During world war 2 .

Without the U.S., China will want to take over Autralia next. Who helped Australia during world war 2 against imperial Japan. Autralia should be greatful to the U.S. Freedom is not free.

I believe that we are, in the South China Sea, very probably looking at the stage being set for the next global conflict. China is building its military and annually grows more aggressive; it sees the issues of Taiwan and South China Sea oil as domestic matters, and the "policies" of the USA as a foreign irritant. One day soon, all of these matters will come to a head.

Why don't you and Obama keep your big fat noses out of it Hilary. You guys are already trying to stir a hornets nest up in the pacific with your "strategic" deployments. In the last 20 years all you have done is make countries in the Asia - Pacific area despise you even more. Have you any friends left? Looks like those butt lickers, the UK, might be the only ones. Everyone is just so sick and tired of your interference in matters that don't concern you.

I remember it was USA invaded Vietnam and used chemical weapons. Thousands Vietnamese children still surfer from the residual of Agent Orange, and USA never even apologized on that. It is amazing how fast some Vietnamese already forgot everything USA did to their country folks. Is that because you live in US? Pathetic!

Video Volunteers Help Revive LA's Concrete River

The Los Angeles River is a concrete drainage channel through much of its 80-kilometer length. It channels waste-water from storm drains and has become a receptacle for much of the city's trash. But as Mike O'Sullivan reports, the river is slowly being restored with the help of volunteers, who take part in an annual clean-up.
