It will be interesting to observe how the new Japanese government responds to this international pressure for basic hunan rights, something that was sadly lacking under the old LDP government for 53 years.

I hope someone builds something bigger somewhere - this reminds me of the Tower of Babel. Ridiculous!

HJapan is welcome to keep its "culture" of eating wierd things like dolphin,whale and natto. The rest of us neither want it nor need it. However the issue here is not one of "culture" and I am disappointed with the Ministers comments - he sounded more like the LDPs raving…

Roll on the day we dont have to make that hideous journey to Narita airport anymore. Narita is a backwater, and maybe it will become a dead duck - just like the LDP who built it and wasted our money in doing so.

What a wonderful new government Japan has! I am really happy. Things are starting to change, and so far, ita all good. Keep up the good work! No wonder they have over 70% approval rating! This news about Haneda Airport is fantastic!

I cant believe that President Obama won this prize. But then, that other nonentity Al Gore won it also. I think the Nobel Organisation has lost its marbles. Obama has done nothing to deserve this. Nor will he.

What exactly has Obama done to deserve this award? NOTHING. Before he became President, he arrogantly stated that he would "save the world." From what, God alone knows. Personally I think that the world, and America in particular, needs saved from him. This award of the Nobel Peace Prize to…
