He has his dream job - another crack at sticking the knife into the LDP heart without the distasteful job of being accountable to the media." Gerald Curtis, a Japanese-politics expert and professor at Columbia University, says the Hatoyama Administration is a game changer in Japanese politics - and that Ozawa's objective has changed as well. The key question, he says: "Does Hatoyama as Prime Minister have the leadership ability to say, 'This is what needs...
