An article in the Japan Times yesterday described Abe as “ideological” while Koizumi is “sentimental”, which I’d say is a pretty accurate contrast. I’m just hoping he doesn’t decide to get ideological about Yasukuni…

At least, he seems to be more flexible on the Yasukuni issue than Koizumi has been, based on him not running on that issue, as Koizumi did. Just found an article: http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501060918-1533514,00.html Interesting read, I guess. Well, Abe come off good, but I don’t know the specifics.

You snuck your comment in there right in the middle of my typing the reply to Agent Wax, sorry... I wish I could compile posts at work, but there are a lot of sites I really shouldn't risk browsing here. Though I have the feeling HD itself is probably among them, heh.

Though I don't see Koizumi as an ass, really - just typically LDP-stupid when it comes to foreign policy. Abe seems to have all the stupid with none of the character, and none of the drive for significant economic reform. I'd say he's a turn for the worse, unless he turns out to be much more of a pragmatist than I'm guessing he is. I can’t add much to your analysis, completely agreed.

I can imagine it would be hard to post three times a day, but it would be oh so sweet to have 2 or the 3 mainichi topics while bored at work. (helps being on the same timezone) Good to seeya back. hope your feeling well and keep up the good work. Welcome back! thought we lost you there for a min!

Or would you rather see someone else lead the government? Personally, it strikes me as an ass replacing an ass ... Abe is too far right for my taste, and he lacks the personal charm of KoizumAss. But I guess you can't be a leftist politician in Japan and expect to get too far... Shingo, what are your thoughts on having Abe suceed Koizumi?

Abe is too far right for my taste, and he lacks the personal charm of KoizumAss. But I guess you can’t be a leftist politician in Japan and expect to get too far…
