...but where's the forum on Asian Politics? We have US, Europe, and the Middle East, but no Asia? China, Japan, both Koreas...?

Good question. I'll nudge ubuntu-geek and see what we can do to fix this.

And I don't know where else to put this, so I figured out it might as well go with another (previously) homeless comment. I'm a postgrad in a political science and international relations department, and was a bit surprised by the way the topics were divided here.

So few issues are rooted in a single geographical region these days...for a lot of the most interesting/controversial discussion topics, for example Iraq, you'd have a hard time picking whether it was a matter for "US politics" or the section on the middle east. And of course the same could be said for environmental or human rights issues....

I'd say discussion about the Iraq War itself belongs in the middle east forum, and discussion about Congress's latest bill regarding the war or the President's "mission accomplished" proclamation belongs in the US politics forum.
