I think it is good for Japan. Hatoyama and especially his radical leftist coalition partner, Socialist Party of Japan, tried to jerk the cornerstone of Japanese national security. It is not the main reason Japanese voters elected them. They are more interested in rooting out corruption, and replacing hapless ineffective leadership of Liberal Democrats. They failed to decisively act on pension problem and economic problems in general.

However, Hatoyama ended up giving wrong agenda too much focus. I think Japanese electorates were seriously unsettled. He did not make much headway in tackling daunting economic problem, either.

The real benefit about this was watching Fukushima (Chair-B*tch of the SDP) get fired on national TV, and Tsujimoto (another Bolshevik-ette), packing up her belongings and out on her ass as Minister of Land, Communications and Transportation.

To have these people in charge of major ministries was akin to Roh Mu Hyon and his legions of childish, inexperienced leftists at the wheels of power in Seoul. GOOD RIDDANCE.

Probably Kan will take over as PM for a few months, then it will go to Okada, then maybe Maehara. We might even see four Prime Ministers in one year if they really want to screw things up.

Funny thing is, nobody can stand the corrupt LDP, and on the other hand, they cannot stand the Obama-ist DPJ with all their phony "Hope" and "Change".

PS Joke: Q: What does a Fukushima SDP Chairman speech sound like? Answer:"Article Nine...Article Nine...Article Nine...Article Nine...Article Nine..er.uh...blah blah..blah...Article Nine...Article Nine...Article Nine...Article Nine...Article Nine...blah blah blah..Article Nine..."
