The Statement by JAPAN is quite Welcome at this time. The USA really appreciates it.

Of Course, it also says that the Japanese are not stupid. They are smart enough to figure out that the USA will help protect Japan against the even more dangerous (to Japan) North Koreans!

Peace! ........
...........Thru Applied Strength! ([: ^ )

Uh, oh. The liberals are gonna be pi$$ed. They keep saying we're "going it alone", or cry "unilateralism!", as if the Brits are chopped liver or something. Now we've got a nation of 100+ million with us. So much for unilateralism, eh libs?

That phrase "coalition of the willing" really ticks me off, too. All coalitions are among the willing ...... if you're not willing, you simply don't join the cause. If you're coerced, then you're a captive nation, not a member of a coalition. More of the idiocy of the liberal media!

I am aware that the President used the term once but the media latched on to it and put a quite different spin on it.

Btw, welcome to FR ..... and, fyi, this "doode" happens to be a middle-aged grandma ...... LOL! You're far from the first person to make the assumption that you did.

Some ridiculous liberal Democrat congresswoman from Illinois, I believe, was in the audience the other night on "Nightline", spouting that damned "unilateralism" right and left.

Somebody ought to mail this thread to that moron and ask her if it is 'unilateral' for both the Largest and Second Largest economies in the world (not to mention all the other allies getting behind Uncle Sam), to line up eye-to-eye on this one.

Thank you Japan. How interesting it is to contrast the behavior of the two defeated enemies in WWII in the current crisis in Iraq: Japan gives us unconditional support and the German Chancellor gets elected only when he adopts a virulent anti-American campaign.

Interesting, indeed.

Isn't nice to have a true ally. Thanks Japan from the bottom of our hearts.

There's a great picture in the Benihana restaurant in Houston with a very young, smiling GW.

Japan - an example of what happens when we conquer a country we are at war with.

Iraq - an example of what happens when we don't.
