<a href="http://www.japaninc.com/The_Hatoyama_government_will_delay_on_defense_policy">Bang for your buck</a><br>
<br>
Is it time for Japan to ramp up its defense spending?<br>
<br>
By Tobias Harris<br>
<br>
Busy with the hard work of introducing a new policymaking process,<br>
rewriting the 2010 budget from scratch so to make room for the<br>
programs promised in the DPJ's election manifesto, and finding a way<br>
to extract concessions from the Obama administration on the<br>
realignment of US forces in Japan, it is understandable that the<br>
Hatoyama government has been relatively silent on the question of<br>
defense ministry reform...<br>

<br>
By Ian Copsey<br>
<br>
As we move into the last quarter of the year there seems to be a<br>
slowing in the Dollar’s weakness and I’ll hazard a call suggesting it<br>
has already found a low. That’s not only against the yen but against<br>
the European currencies also...<br>

It is undoubtedly all over the web, the news reported by Bloomberg<br>
that The (aptly named) Galleon's been hit sending her and her booty<br>
plummeting to the icy depths. Her buccaneering skipper's been taken<br>
prisoner and is presently in irons (along with friends and friends of<br>
friends). I think this is most excellent, even if it is only a small<br>
flesh wound to the crony form capitalism...<br>
