He's got a pacifist upper house controlled by the opposition.

maybe I’m pronouncing the name wrong, but if a public figure over here had the name “Fukuda”, it would raise a smile or two...

But I thought the entire international community is opposed the US over ‘Bush’s war in Iraq?’

“Among issues expected to top Fukuda’s legislative agenda is the extension of an anti-terror law that has enabled Japan’s military to operate refueling operations in aid of U.S.-led forces in the India Ocean.”

Fukuda will formally announce his cabinet Tuesday and is expected to retain many of Abe's appointees...

With that he'll be out in 6 months, and so begins a new revolving door of Prime Ministers.

Taro was by far the better choice (out of a bunch of bad choices).
