From the Wall Street Journal...Obama Praises Japanese Partnership
In brief remarks, Mr. Obama underscored the continuing importance of the alliance between the U.S. and Japan.
"It is for that reason that the prime minister is the first foreign dignitary to visit me here in the Oval Office," Mr. Obama said. "I think it's a testimony to the strong partnership between the United States and Japan. … It's one that my administration wants to strengthen."
In response, Mr. Aso -- seated to the president's right by the Oval Office fireplace, and speaking in English -- said that the U.S. and Japan "will have to work together hand in hand. And I think we are the only two nations which can offer enough to solve those very critical, vital issue[s] of the world."
U.S.-Japanese cooperation will be important to Mr. Obama as well, particularly as some in his own party push for a tougher trade policy toward China.
President Obama, have you given any thought to why is Japan such a useful ally and trading partner?
The only reason we are able to have such cordial relations with Japan (and Germany, and Italy) is because of the tens of thousands of American and Japanese lives that were lost, including the only use of atomic weapons on a civilian population, which liberated Japan and enabled her to become a free country. Exactly the sort of thing we are doing in Iraq. But in Iraq, the money spent is “wasted”. The lives it costs are “wasted”. The war is "illegal" even though it was authorized by Congress.
Good thing Democrat President Roosevelt didn’t have the same disregard for human freedom that today’s Democrats do. If he did, we might be dealing with the descendents of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. Instead of cooperation with Japan, we might be facing a hostile Imperial Navy. Instead of vacationing in a Paris, American’s might be facing the Nazi occupation forces six decades into the occupation of France. The world would be a far different and I would say a far worse place if we had not toppled Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and imperial Japan.
Freedom comes at a high price, a price that is too high for the selfish and narcissistic liberals in America today.
