Re: [commentary] Yaocho on the Yakozoo

Kudos to Dale for best chuckle of the day.  Sounds more like Air Supply to
me, although as a matter of policy I do try and forget as much syrupy 80's
music as I can ;-).

On the yaocho, I think everybody can agree about one thing and that is, it
is a surprise to see the issue taken to so fervently by the foreign press
this time round.  From Japan, have seen coverage documenting several foreign
news reports of this round of Itai.

Cheers, Pete.
