In Ireland we say of the British that it is better to be their enemy than their friend, as they'll buy off their enemies, but sell out their friends. I'd say the same for the USA and counsel the Japanese to take heed.

I also think that a lot of the comments on many of the threads on this forum are way overboard about Japan. Of course the place has problems, but where doesn't? Certainly, I'd prefer to raise my kids here than where I grew up. Some folks here should cut Japanese…

As soon as I heard about some black guy called Barack Hussein Obama making a serious challenge for the White House, the first thought that came into my head was, "Someone in the USA will want him dead asap." Sasagawa has only said what millions are thinking.
