Hatoyama ... who?

When the prime minister of Israel went to DC he experienced the displeasure of the Obama administration. He and his team were left alone in the Roosevelt Room to try to come up with a plan that would make the US happy, while Obama went home for dinner.

Hatoyama on the other hand, never made it even close to the White House, let alone to the Roosevelt Room. Hatoyama was so ignored that the best he could do was meet with America's official fuel pump attendant. I wonder if they talked about the price of oil? What else could you talk about at that level?

It seems that Mr. Hatoyama gave a very important speech at the Nuclear Security Summit, a 'keynote address,' but the problem is, nobody and I do mean NO body knows about it.

Reading the tea leaves, I would say it is probably a good time to either execute the Okinawa Treaty - or dump Hatoyama and start apologizing to the US for being a bad boy. Otherwise it could get rather cold out here in Asia.

Where is Augustine's "City on the Hill" and who lives there?
And perhaps more importantly: How do they live - with each other?

Each week we'd just make God madder and madder.
