I think it's great to have an ally like Japan.

Those who seek to trash the United States
for it's efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq
have a clear history to ponder.  Sadly they
ignore all the evidence that shows what we
can achieve when given half a chance.

I'd love to have a Japan or six in the
middle-east from the Arab states.

Asimo in patrol in Baghdad.

Damn! I wish I could forget the Death March. It is a long time to hold a grudge. If they would only offer a sincere apology.

JAPAN OFFERS UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT OF U.S.A. ON IRAQ

Good for the Japanese. I just bought a Mitsubishi HD TV, and D VHS VCR, and JVC audio/video and DVD player. When I get rid of my BMW, I will go Honda or Toyota. I am wondering, however, if it has anything to do with North Korea? I do not have a clue about that, just wondering.

Not really but I'm replacing the French wine in my home with Japanese Sake later toady.

Thanks for posting this article and the address. I will send them a thank you e-mail when I get home. (don't want to use my work e-mail for anything like that). Thank you Japan! The Japanese government understands and knows what its like to have a nutjob just waiting to strike! We will be there for Japan when they need us!!!

This BIG! story has been out there now for about two-three hours.

Is it being carried in the English language press?

CNN interested?

No, I didn't think so.

This shatters their propaganda talking points about "unilateralism". It is embarrassing and uncomfortable.

They will ignore this for as long as they can, like they ignored the nearly 100,000 to 300,000 Koreans who turned out a week ago in Seoul with a MASSIVE US FLAG and many smaller US flags, in support of US-South Korea alliance.

[DoughtyOne]

I don't blame you a bit.

[Poohbah]

F***ing-A right ON!

[Jhoffa_]

Bump for Japan!

[MattAMiller]

Move zig for great justice!

I called that phone number, and a lady answered in Japanese, but quickly changed to English when I asked her to. I told her that we good Americans thank Japan, for being there for us, and I told her we loved them for this. She was shocked (in a good way) and was very pleased, and so polite, and thankful for my call.

"Japan is getting ready for North Korea."

So are we...

[PureSolace]

Yay Japan! Many Thanks!
