zichi, of course their remains are not at the shrine. The ashes were dumped in Tokyo Bay. What they do is protected under our constitution and while it is not my belief, they should be respected.

yabits, if you are born in America then you are a natural born American. It has to do with the 14th amendment of their constitution. Does not work that way in Japan but it was an unexpected outcome of their civil war. Again we must wait and see what happens. The best possible outcome is the parents get over it and learn to respect each other. I do not see this case changing things.

yabits, she is both but could be American or Japanese. She has a decision to make at 18. Until then she has the benefit of both. Oh I call them as I see it. This fellow is not even a natural American. Oh please do me a big favor and stop referring to me as a him. It hurts me feelings, ok?

Yubaru, am only a Japanese National because the Americans made us such. As to this case I have not seen the evidence and take what is in news stories as hearsay. tmarie, I am tired of constant explaining, you have a very simple world view, very American.

Larry Woodworth, you need to read my posts better. I am Okinawan and not Japanese. All you see is the American view and ignore the Japanese. So if the couple gets divorced in Japan you are ok with the court ruling? Again the culture of Okinawa is not that of Japan. About Americans I grew up under the American occupation. They imposed their laws upon us. In fact they still can today. The SOFA agreement is the legal selling of us by the Japanese to the Americans. So if I seem to be on the women's side you are mistaken. My view is a neutral 3rd party should settle this.

yabits my friend, I am not Japanese. I grew up on an American occupied Okinawa. I have nothing against Americans, they are just so full of themselves at times. Americans hold their justice is better than all others. It is a matter of faith with them. Two courts ruled one in favor of the mother and one in favor of the father. Americans do not want to abide by Japanese courts and Japanese do not want to abide by American courts. Having grown up on Okinawa I understand how the Americans have one rule for themselves and other rules for others. Saying the American process is flawed is not anti American and also I do not see the Japanese process as perfect.

Time will tell now, if he was abusive it will show up. What bothers me is how Americans think their laws and customs are superior to the rest of the world. Worse they are trying to make the rest of the world conform to their narrow vision. Now the non Japanese men are crowing and strutting on the manure pile. All they see is a "win" for their cause and make excuses for the man. I do not see this leaving the news soon.

Another sign of Japan self destructing just like the "happy ending" at the end of a Japanese movie.

flechettes, She is a Japanese national and not an American citizen. She was afraid of the foreign American system, so she headed for home. It is an instinct action when someone is afraid. American men do the same thing when they flee from Japan to America.

What is there to discuss? The former leader is going to become a gross exhibit. Can not think of anything worse than having your body gawked at by hordes of people. Decade after decade until they have the decently to bury him.

Only time will tell, will the new government succeed or fail? The whole mess started when Iraq invaded Kuwait. So if people are looking for a primary to blame they need to blame Husein.

What she did was illegal in America but legal in Japan. There needs to be clear cut laws on jurisdiction, who decides what and when. The "abductions" work both ways. So many posters think American law good Japanese bad. There has to be a way to respect the traditions and laws of both.

Carcharodon,GM still makes crappy cars and trucks. The engine of their Corvette is basically the same as the engines of the late 50's. My friends 04 Sunfire was peeling within 2 years, not covered by warranty. A truly crappy electrical system.

tmarie, sure I can write that and Korea is lucky. South Korea is an independent country and able to make its own decisions. Okinawa is part of Japan with our language and culture being snuffed out. Our language has first become a dialect and then soon gone. Almost nobody under 50 can speak it. Again GET OVER IT!!! Korea was a part of Japan during the war. It shares the same level of responsibility of Okinawa. Japan paid the South Korean government, so they need to ask them for payment.
