Certainly, the administration of the Democrat Party of Japan will be more offensive to the USA than the LDP's. However, we the Japanese think the policy will be right.

Japan would be wise to remember it's an Asian country and begin resowing its ties to the Orient while loosening, ever so slowly but surely, its second fiddle status to the suicide pact known as the USA. As we descend into full-blown corporatist socialism and authoritarianism, Japan wakes up. Good for them.
