| #4 The Japanese are not stupid - and there's not one Japanese politician on the planet who would make the comment to the Predident of the United States "Look, the sun is rising." without having a clear intent that that comment had powerful and monumental connotations. Of the entire article that's the single biggest statement that struck me. It's tantamount to a Japanese declaration that the Empire was back IMO. |

| #3 Couple years ago Japan announced it was missing about 300lbs of Plutonium. Just assumed this was their way of letting people know they'd already gone nuclear. |

| #2 China's anti-Japan campaign on "history consciousness," as they call it, is not about indulging an old grudge. A communist dictatorship is a lot smarter than that. Oh? |

| #1 I should have posted this short clip with the article: Koizumi's Foreign Minister Taro Aso declared to his host Dick Cheney, no less, "Japan must also be nuclear armed." He could not have made the remark, let alone leak it to the media, idly. |
