| Shinzo lays out vision for 'Beautiful Japan' |
| 2006-09-30 |
 TOKYO: Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, laid out on Friday his vision of a "Beautiful Country" that can be proud of its traditions and culture while also being respected - and loved - by the world. Abe, 52, who took over this week as Japan's first leader born after Japan's defeat in World War Two, has made it a central part of his agenda to escape a "post-war regime" that conservatives believe deprived Japanese of pride in their history and culture. |

| #8 Japan is rapidly growing old. The young folk are not reproducing in sufficent numbers to maintain a replacement rate. I suggest Abe remind the young of their duty to bred if they want to see their civilization last until the next century. |

| #6 I don't like the sound of this guy. Nothing good comes from a leader who wants to be loved. With his "vision" it sounds like he should have taken up landscaping instead of politics. |

| #5 Kimmie, if I were you, I would request a State visit right now, so you could hustle over and kiss Abe's ass while he's still in that glowing, generous, benevolent mood. However, you'll probably do some damn stoopid thing like trying to detonate your dud nuke or overfly Hokkaido again. At that point, you should just bend over and kiss your own ass. Goodbye! |
