According to Japan's spring 2004 Directory of Parliament Officials, Representative Katsuya Okada's personal motto is Tai ki ban sei, a classic Japanese proverb that means "Great talents mature late." But considering that the new president of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) has rocketed from relative obscurity to what could be the golden era of his political career-all at the comparatively tender age of 52-he may want to revise that motto before the next guide is printed.

...unprecedented baby bust presages a radical change in the balance of power in the Mediterranean world. Chirac perhaps sees a coming Muslim future or, at least, a coming Muslim resurgence. And he does not want to be on the wrong side of that history. The result is a classic policy of appeasement: stand up to the American presumption of dictating democratic futures to Afghanistan and Iraq; ingratiate yourself with the Arab world. Thus, for example, precisely at a time when the U.S. and many Western countries are shunning Yasser Arafat for supporting terrorism and obstructing peace, Chirac sends his Foreign...
