Joseph, I have to disagree, especially the part about us playing hardball. This is the type of "we know what is better for you" attitude that has no place in the modern world. Look at the disastrous results in the former USSR because Gorby got suckered into destroying a political infrastructure and have nothing to replace it with. Can you imagine if China caved in during the Tiananmen era to this "vacuum" democracy? The world would be in total chaos now. I respect countries like Vietnam, which against all odds, defeated these imperialistic colonists and finally have a chance to run their own country instead of being a puppet to the US. Not that I am an expert but I have tried to think through each of the solutions on the table, be it from Japan or outside pressure. I conclude that there are no immediate solutions. A sequence of events need to occur and if the first steps work, you move ahead. If not, you change your strategies in reaction, hoping to have learned something each step of the way. Regardless, Japan needs to solve Japan's problem. We can react by choosing to work with or not work with them. Ramsey
