charlotte 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't like the look of that Aso fella. In fact, I don't like the look of most of them. Abe was rather harmless looking. Of course me not liking the look of them doens't mean a whole great deal. Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 He also strongly supported the US war in Iraq and stated that this was a matter of pride in his last speech in office, part of his legacy. I remember thinking "What a second. Hasn't even the US decided that that was a BAD idea?!" I don't know how the public can stomach that kind of view! Link to post Share on other sites

Beware female politicians. Women politicians often deliver the most conservative, right-wing messages. It doesn't sound quite as bad if it's coming from a woman. Link to post Share on other sites

zebedee 1 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 She was. Looks like that Aso bloke is the one to get it. Is that Ishida guy the son of our favorite Tokyo gov. Ishida? (As extreme as him I wonder?) Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 just a very outside chance. And just so, the Japanese would have a woman leader ahead of the US. Take heed from the Thatch of the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
