Thank you, Japan!

Belated thanks, but thanks nevertheless.

Despite - or because of? - the japanese hostages taken (and released) in Iraq, despite the sorry example of Spain and Honduras, despite the constraints placed on the Japanese military from old WWII treaties -

Despite all this, the Japanese people re-elected Mr. Koizumi and are hanging in there in the WoT. The famous Japanese honor still stands tall.

God Bless Japan.
