The White Peril 白禍

参院選への影響必至
...and Minister of Defense Fumio Kyuma has had to step down. Not surprising. His remarks the other day about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were not the first that made people wonder whether he remembered which ministry he was leading, and there's an election coming up in which the LDP cannot afford to have the Abe administration look more vulnerable than it does.

It was quite regrettable that such an idiot like Kyuma was (first) Defense Minister. Finally it was over. Justice doesn't belong to either side at war. But he doesn't seem to have any belifs. Hope Ms Koike to perform a bit better.

Yes, he did have a talent for saying the least politic thing at any given moment. You and I have argued before over who was more just in WWII, so I'll leave that particular point aside. : ) I agree that it is to be hoped that the next Minister of Defense will make it easier for people to believe that elevating the JDA to ministry status was a good thing.
