#1 It's when things are difficult that you find out who your real friends are...and it's clear that the 30 plus countries in Iraq are those friends.

I'm sorry that I was so negative about Japan in the 1980s. They really are a great people.

#2 I find it amusing that Japan was one of the nations UBL insisted join him in his jihad against America. Now Japan is joined in, but against UBL and Saddam and the rest of these nut jobs.

#3 The recent actions of the NORKs probably helped push the Japanese in this direction.

I like it when a country like Japan recovers from WWII by developing into a thriving economy and democracy, and now has sufficiently recovered its self-confidence to take an active role in defense this way.
