(Part of Japan on Sept. 6, 2009; click for inspection)"Something Strange Reportedly Happened Dear"
President Mr. Barack Obama is supported by an overwhelming number of federal lawmakers in each house of Congress, and probably more by American Christians.
Yet, Mr. Yukio Hatoyama's DPJ has no majority in the Upper House of which member election is to be held next summer.
U.S. House of Representatives (Lower House)
Democratic Party: 256 (58%)
Republican Party: 178
Vacant: 1
Total: 435
Japan's House of Representatives as of Aug 30, 2009
Democratic Party of Japan: 308 (64%)
Liberal Democratic Party: 119
New Komeito: 21
Socialist Democratic Party: 7
Others: ***
Total: 480
U.S. Senate (Upper House)
Democratic Caucus: 59 (59%)
Republican Caucus: 40
Vacant: 1
Total: 100
Japan's House of Councillors
Democratic Party of Japan [108] and allies: 118 (49%)
Liberal Democratic Party: 81
New Komeito: 21
Socialist Democratic Party and allies: 5
Others: ***
Total: 242
For Mr. Yukio Hatoyama's DPJ to keep hegemony over the Upper House, the DPJ needs a tie-up with the Socialist Democratic Party and its allies. It was like the conventional alliance of the LDP with New Komeito, a political branch of a Buddhist body, Soka-Gakkai.
Yet, the Socialist Democratic Party is anti-capitalism, anti-America, and pro-North Korea.
Accordingly, next Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama and next Foreign Minister Mr. Katsuya Okada will face a very difficult situation between pro-America and anti-America camps in and outside the DPJ.
In my feeling, the LDP will win in the Upper House election scheduled next summer, but the DPJ Cabinet will continue with a huge margin in the Lower House of the national Diet of Japan.
SECTION I: Roman Empire and Han Empire
The Roman Empire operated its huge, mighty troops regularly to occupy and exploit other tribes and races.
Chinese dynasties in general did not actively operate their million troops except in emergency times and in regular preventive operations against Northern Asians.
However, when a revolution occurred and an old dynasty was defeated by an emerging force, millions of troops or farmers were mobilized by each camp.

Reportedly, Toyota will recruit 800 new workers for plants in Japan during October 2009.
It is the first recruitment activity for Toyota since June 2008.
To achieve 25% CO2 reduction by 2020 from the 1990 level, as next Prime Minister Mr. Y. Hatoyama announced yesterday, most of vehicles running on Japanese roads with gasoline fuels must be replaced by electric vehicles (E.V.).
What's more, if most of power generation in the world has come to rely on other fuels or energy sources than crude oil, we may really see the end of the era of crude oil in decades, far before the coming of the 22nd century.
It will have a deep impact on Islam, in my feeling.
(Avez-vous vu la pluie qui tombait sur une journée ensoleillée? It is called "a marriage of foxes" in Japan. As long as the sun shines above clouds, no showers count like a political game in a democratic and free nation. Yet, how much have you enjoyed it this time, dear? Anyway, this is one of my favorite songs, since it is somehow good-old American...

Mat 9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Mat 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
