article: "Why Japan Remains a Threat to Peace and Democracy in Asia"
I would like to note, in my own defense, that
1) I did not write this article;
2) I am often quite critical of the gov't of the country
that I am an official citizen of - the US, where I was born.

Censored 2004
Most people from this region, as well as other parts of the globe, would be quite surprised to hear the assertion that Japan is one of the most underdeveloped states when it comes to the development of democracy and healthy journalism in the Asia-Pacific region-and that politically, Japan is not yet a fully independent nation. And why shouldn't they be surprised? Most people assume that since Japan is a highly industrialized country with one of the highest standards of technology in the world, it must therefore be a democratic state as well.
In fact, this is not the case. I would even go so far as to say that Japan remains a threat to peace and prosperity in Asia.
