Seems like this happens whenever I come back to Japan.

Fukuda. What a name for a politician.

[dfwgator]

Bring back Koizumi.

Was this the same Yasuo Fukuda who was teaching at the old Washington D.C. Judo Club on Florida Avenue in the early 1960s while attending grad school at G.W.?

CNBC analyst says this is a major development.

How serious is it?

Japanese Liberals are firmly in control of the Upper House after the last general election in Japan.They are decidedly anti military and pro Appeasement of China Expansionism.

This is not where the USA would like to see Japan.

But such is democracy.

Japanese liberals do not understand history ( They have not been taught it.), nor do they understand that as we speak, they cause conditions of weakness sure to lead to war with China eventually.

Note the recent registration laws where all foreigners in Japan have had to be ID'd AND finger printed. The Liberals represent fascism to come in Japan, just like they do here in the USA ( Jonah Goldberg's Book: Liberal Fascism).

Political change is on the move in Japan.

Soon it will become a land of hugz, with Hello Kitty stuffed toys wedged into the guns of its defence forces.And that means death, horrible death at the hands of Japans enemy: China.China means to take over Japan. Lock stock and barrel.

And the Japanese liberals finger each other and pretend the outside world does not exist, nor will they understand that loyalty to one's nation does not mean a return to pre WWII extremism.

Very, very sick.
