Ossanamerica... sorry sport, but you've drifted off the topic. I clearly stated that Hillary Clinton should demand an apology from Japan for insulting remarks about the current global economic situation.

Goodjorb... I respectfully disagree... as does the UN.

How quickly we forget... anyone remember the UN's "Food for oil" program with Iraqs Saddam Hussein ???

Are you freakin serious ??? More evidence that Japan's markets remain closed to any sort of fair competition. For fiscal 2006 VW's North American sales for the year were 235,140 vehicles !!! Here in Japan a pathetic 1,872 cars ! Uhh, lemme guess, no right side drive ? Poor quality…

You say...

"Because the subprime crisis was indeed caused by…

Ossanamerica... I didn't say the talks were "broken off". I said that Japan has made negotiations extremely difficult with it's obsession over a few missing Japanese ! Starving a nation or trying to freeze them out in the dead of winter is shameful behaviour and Hillary Clinton needs to tell…

A bit more nonsense,

"Japan hasn't damaged the 6 party talks. North Korea is the only country that has repeatedly damaged the talks. Not once have the talks ever failed on account of Japan's position on aid."

Huh ??? Japan has been consistently ignored and has been asked to not…

Ossan, if I may.

"US suppliers repeatedly failing to comply with agreed terms is hardly "interference"."

You seem to have jumped ahead of yerself here. Japan's "interference" began with the banning of a scientifically proven safe product, American beef, waaay before any conditions were put in place. Japan just jumped…

So where are the numbers ? Just how far down is Toyota ? Nissan ? Honda ? JT posted more detailed numbers concerning the US market... why not here in Japan ? What I really want to know is how far have Chrysler, Ford, and GM fallen here in Japan.…
