#1 A little diplomacy is in order. Appeal to the Japanese sense of greed. That is, suggest that now is the time to either build or refurbish the Japanese embassy in Iraq, with maybe an annex in the area the occupied in the South; with a much enlarged and expanded trade mission.

#3 Might also mention that Allied forces are getting extremely valuable counter-terrorism training for its military by being in Iraq - training that can't be gotten anywhere else. That training can't be bought, can't be found in a "peacetime" environment, and will come in extremely handy if things go south in Korea. Japan has this fixation on Korea, and that may just be the thing to tip things our way. Expanded trade will also help.
