Ozawa: OK this is our budget. We want more allocated to the lunch fund. We are tired of being fed onigiri and miso soup every day. We also want heated seats on all the toilets. Also we want those little umbrellas put in the drinks at meetings. We are tired of the vacuum you guys created.

Sorry! Not really comfortable with the definition of lumping "terrorism" into a single blanket term under antiterrorism. It is a convenient truth for all politician to create a hostile other. It is a bogeyman if political guerrillas with different agenda as to ending democracy and capitalism. Think about it.

Does this mean the elusive Ozawa will actually show up at the Diet to present the DPJ package? It must surely be time for another DPJ parliamentary boycott, so I wouldn't count on it.

Ozawa and the DPJ are not an adequate opposition party, as they have proven time and again. They will be crushed in the next general election as the Japanese people know full well that their livelihood depends upon the beneficence of the LDP and business leaders.

Scrote, does anyone in the Diet remember what Ozawa looks like?

Ozawa wants Japan to show democracy for the good it is. He doesnt want to be PM, he wants to be right! He wants Japan to win and continue with their 2 party talks, his voice being representative of the people, and their ability to be heard when discussion is bought forward.

A lot of Japanese businesses are chronically unprofitable and rely on government bail-outs, loan guarantees and pork barrel contracts. The LDP aren't helping to fix the economy, they're just keeping it on perpetual life support. I'm not saying the DPJ would be much of an improvement, however...
