'Bout damn time. That's what you get when you promise things you KNOW you won't be able to deliver. If he thought that he would be able to bully the US into moving off Okinawa, he's insane.

Thats the 4th Prime Minister for Japan in the past 4 years...

as long as Democratic party has power, even if Prime minister is changed, it won't change anything...

over 50% of congressman in Democratic party used to be in Communist party...

lol, that's nothing. I went thru 5 PMs and a military coup during two years in Thailand. Japan is rank amateur when it comes to changing governments.  ;-)

Yeah, and German president resigned over remarks made re: German presence in Afghanistan (and elsewhere in the world. It's on CNN but I forgot the link). President spot is mostly a figurehead thing, so it's not a really big deal for Germany.

The Japanese PM thing also isn't so shocking to me. They started singing his swan song a few weeks ago.
