Japan 1945/ Iraq 2003

I see a couple of Japanese diplomats have been assasinated in Iraq, wonder if this will have any effect on plans to deploy troops there.

I just read an interesting article by Robert Fisk comparing the Iraqi resistance fighters to the Japanese Kamikaze of WW2. Here it is:

According to Koizumi, he is still planning on sending the boys over.

Yeah, I read that, but they seem to flip flop a lot on this issue. Like immediately after the Italian base was blown up, Yasuo Fukuda said that it wouldn't deter them from sending in troops by the end of the year. Then a couple of days later they decided that yes, in fact, it would deter them from sending the troops in by the end of the year. I'm wondering if this is going to be the same. Personally I hope they don't send troops.
