Does anyone doubt if Ozawa resigned, the charges would disappear just like they did last spring ??
This is not a exactly battle between honest prosecutors and a corrupt political leader. Ozawa is trying to reform Japan from a technocracy to a democracy. He is the only person in Japan with enough power and the will to crush the country's corrupt bureaucracy.
The bureaucracy knows that and they are trying to destroy him before he destroys them.
If the prosecutors had anything on him, they would have arrested him long ago.
Hell hath no fury like a Japanese civil servant threatened by political change.
The time is approaching Japan won't have any bankers or accountants left if anyone who filed a misleading financial report is prosecuted with the same vigor as Ishikawa Tomohiro, Okubo Toshinori and Ikeda Mitsutomo.IF Ozawa is indicted, Hatoyama Cabinet must collapse without any doubt.
The time is approaching, I think, because
Ozawa behind Hatoyama
Yeah, well. It isn't rocket science. CHIKEN acquired absolute independence of prosecutorial power from the Justice Department, hence cabinet, under an LDP system of bureaucratic rule and Ozawa wrote the book on how to reform Japanese politics. At this point CHIKEN is a bigger threat than any political opposition and the media is their public relations department.He cannot escape from the charges as far as his crime is proved. No exception, I think.
That's very convenient words, but violates the constitutional principle of separation of powers. When DPJ took power, anything, charged from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office (Tokyo Chiken), against ex-opposition party become conspiracy ????
Under the Law, everybody is equal in Japan.
TOKYO (Nikkei)--Prime Minister Hatoyama announced his resignation at an emergency meeting of the Democratic Party of Japan Wednesday morning. He also said that DPJ Secretary-General Ichiro Ozawa will step down as well.
One incompetent, gutless PM after another with another surely waiting in the wings for his 15 minutes. Japan is hopeless.It took a bit longer than expected, but both of them step down at the end of the day. Either way Good for the country.

I'd be very surprised with a new and very opposed PM they even have time or support to consider it this session.He/the DPJ halted the "privatization" of Japan Post.
It has passed the lower house of diet and I hope it passes in the upper house as well.
Kamei is one AWESOME MOFO.
They need a directly elected president. Presuming the people care more about who can do what for the nation than the more times you've tried and failed before the better - just stand in line to wait your turn in the Old Boy's seniority system.Japan needs a ruthless and decisive leader right now to chop some enemie's head off and break this political paralysis caused by the dysfunctional political system.
I say bring back Oda Nobunaga! :samurai:
