U.S. faces bigger issues than hitting Iraq. A former Japanese
diplomat--now chairman of the English-Speaking Union of Japan-- offers
a quintessentially Japanese view regarding the manifest folly of a US
attack on Iraq. (From The Japan Times). Mr. Hanabusa underscores the
formidable difficulty of the victor's creating anything but a puppet
"regime change." Since Japan has had some recent experience in this
regard, his words merit contemplation by those who favor an immediate
attack and damn the foreseeable consequences thereof.
