    They look like four mannequins with their arms and hands in bizarre poses.
    Especially Wen Jiabao! Just what is that chinaman doing with his right hand???

    Or perhaps they are all practicing without batons and sticks for a playoff on a Taiko no Tatsujin arcade game?

    Probably because he represents a country that's mistrusted by the countries of the other three leaders.

    "From Left: Japanese..." If left means liberal and right means conservative, do we have the proper spectrum?
