The Bush Administration could have used other means to achieve the security. The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights were written for the average person to read and understand - the meaning is clear and direct. It is not vague, and the oath is taken by MANY. Although I…

A summit meeting of the leaders from Japan, China and South Korea is being planned in two weeks time. And a trip to China will be followed by East Asian summit talks in Thailand in late October, Obama’s visit to Japan and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum—both in November.

I find the bilateral relations between Mexico and Japan as "unique". They are very compatiable in many ways, and can help each other in soooooo many ways. Those two economies can be a bridge across the Pacific, each helping each other to understand differences in culture. I see them as…

I sorta understand the Hatoyama Delegation's situation. The DPJ policies are different than that of the LDP, some are "contentious", thus it is more important for the Hatoyama Delegation to get a feel for these types of international gatherings. They have been in office for less than a few days,…

My analysis is more from another era, but may be relevant to someone. I would commit at least one month, having both Sec. Gates and Gen. McChrystal to appoint two top shelf staffs, each representing the Sec. and Gen. respectively. The question is: is there a third option? All or…

I personally don't approve of the methods being used in the US, but it is a method that's been institutionalized and established for a considerable amount of time. It is a violation of the privacy clause and freedom of speech in the Bill of Rights, but it is a de…

My warning of caution comes from an article I had published in the 1980's concerning developments in the Asia Pacific. The analysis has come to pass, but the reaction was dangerous. In the same vein, the article in the Wall St. Journal by PM Hatoyama has evoked the same atmosphere.…

A word of caution to the Hatoyama delegation:

Prior to leaving for the US, given the short time assessing the present circumstances, it would be best to script all comments, then have all notes proofread by a veteran professional. The atmosphere in the States is unusual, and careless remarks may…

I guess it depends on who she is trying to appeal to.
