Forward them to me John. I spent enough time studying Japanese, their 
history, and their culture to have a love/hate respect for the 
culture.  Just like the US they have faults and blessings intermixed 
in many ways. I think they have some concepts down better than we, 
but others are just plain wrong.

Just as in the US, there aren't any easy answers to Japan's problems.
