“Democrats and Republicans since the end of the war have believed >American security was dependent upon a good, healthy relationship and >alliance with Japan,”
How true. Japan is a tripwire for any attack on the US from Pacific side,
just as Europe is a tripwire for any attack on the US from the Atlantic side.

How does Shieffer know that? Did Obama phone him already? My guess is that
Shieffer will be looking for a new job soon
Japanese access to American markets will be deeply affected by the recession
Obama will have a very different view of the goons in the LDP here and
Also a very different view on military deployment in Japan.
So let's see.

Im sure that Obama's administration is working on improving relations with China. Uh-oh... Will Japan become the over protective jelous ex-girlfriend?
