<p>Koizumi came across as something of a Japanese version of Tony Blair or Bill Clinton. And like his two Western contemporaries, he enjoyed unusual popularity, with his approval rating soaring in some polls as high as 90%.</p> <p>More important, almost overnight he became the darling of the global media, which with the notable exception of Barron's, uniformly hailed Koizumi as a great reformer and populist who could save his party, his country and the stock market. Indeed, during his first few weeks in office, Japan's stock market soared on hopes for the self-styled reformer, with the benchmark Nikkei 225 index hitting its high for the year of 14,529.41 on May 7.</p>

Tonight they will premire a progam that my father lived and fought through. I heard the stories, I knew the man. I wonder if they will give him the respect that he, and his buddies, so richly deserve. I doubt it, but I'll reserve judgemant until I see the presentation. My father was one of those 101st Airborne landed behind the lines on D-day. He was one of those glorious troops that survived the whole war. He won 1 Purple Heart, and a Silver Star, with a cluster during that war. I was 101st Airborne in the Nam. The show ...

Sunday September 9 11:53 AM ET More Data, More Falling Stocks Loom By Haitham Haddadin NEW YORK (Reuters) - Don't expect the clouds over Wall Street to lift this week, when stocks are likely to slide further from the almost three-year lows that the broad Standard & Poor's 500 index hit at the end of Friday's session. The Street will pick apart a slew of economic reports for clues on when the world's largest economy might start springing back from its sluggishness, with focus on the government's report on Friday on August producer prices. Also expected on Friday are: August ...

August 19, 2001 Updated on September 8, 2001 Pierre Rinfret Can a depression happen again? Why not, humans know no limits to their stupidity. Unfortunately, I have to say 'Yes, it can happen again.' The folly of man knows no limits as the bubble that used to be the Asian boom now shows conclusively. It is never the forces of which you are aware but the ones you don't think about that always get you. As an historian of economic and financial affairs if there is one thing I know it is that the follies and stupidities of man know ...

The Secret Files of John Huang Reprinted from NewsMax.com The Secret Files of John Huang Charles R. SmithWednesday, Sept. 5, 2001 U.S. and U.K. aircraft recently bombarded a Chinese air defense system inside Iraq. What seems like a weekly series of air strikes is actually part of a two-year campaign against an air defense network installed in the Iraqi desert by the Chinese army. China's sale of an advanced air defense system to Iraq is a violation of U.N. arms sanctions against Baghdad. The Chinese army has little time for the U.N. Beijing made it clear in 1995 that ...

Greetings again from the World Conference Against Racism. Since I am just downloading these documents from the WCAR website, I am reading them as a jumble, out of order and not sorted by author agency This document is a prepcom document from the UN Human Rights Commission. It advances a number of interesting proposals from the Africa Group. The bulk of the document is just bureaucratic drivel about organizing the conference, but the proposals of the Africa Group are worth noting. Some of the suggestions presented in Annex II: Proposals By The Sub-Committee On Racism, Racial Discrimination And Decolonization Of ...

Danforth Was MIA When Bush Needed Him Former Republican Senator Jack Danforth can kiss the Supreme Court goodbye. Danforth has long been touted as one of Bush's possible nominees to fill any Supreme Court vacancies. Previously, Bush had seriously considered the moderate Republican as his vice presidential running mate. In his new book &quot;The Accidental President,&quot; David Kaplan reports that Danforth was missing in action when Bush's campaign sent out an urgent 911 to him. Kaplan writes that immediately after the election Bush campaign official Don ...

Ildiko Varga, 25, was asking the officer if she could sue the New York Post for writing "something bad" about her, and then showed him an article that said police had been looking for her since May 25, the Post reported Sunday. Varga, an au pair from Hungary, allegedly ransacked the Nesconsett, N.Y. home of her employer after locking ...

Beware of your opinions. They could be hazardous to your life. That's not from 1984, or a warning to the citizens of a tyrannical country. It's more like a word of caution to any journalist who might consider commenting on a black American. Witness what is happening to Rod Dreher, a columnist for the New York Post and an occasional contributor to National Review Online. Last week, the spectacle outside a New York City church for the funeral of R&B singer Aaliyah was Princess Di-like, to say the least. There was a horse-drawn carriage, a release of doves, and ...

The Almost Christian Acts 26:28 -- "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." The chapter, out of which the text is taken, contains an admirable account which the great St. Paul gave of his wonderful conversion from Judaism to Christianity, when he was called to make his defense before Festus a Gentile governor, and king Agrippa. Our blessed Lord had long since foretold, that when the Son of man should be lifted up, "his disciples should be brought before kings and rulers, for his name's sake, for a testimony unto them." And very good was the design of ...

There is a new and long article on the Hunley recovery. It is in this month's issue of the Civil War Times. I don't have any text but you can see it at a bookstore. It contains new details (though nothing major) and photos that have not previously been published to my knowledge. The link still shows the previous (Aug. 2001) issue of Civil War Times for some reason.

Welcome to FReeoples Bar & Grill This thread began in the summer of 2001 when a core group of aggrieved refugees set sail from their old home and washed ashore here at Free Republic, the Ellis Island of cyberspace for those who truly cherish the Constitution. But what began as a mere port-of-entry has since evolved, thanks to the hands extended by so many veteran FReepers, into a true FRiendship Society. Yet immigrants everywhere must soon find a niche from which to develop as citizens. And so it seemed only natural that we should delve into entrepreneurship by opening ...
