...The French Human Rights League accused the president of racism, saying in a statement: "The president of the republic has stigmatised Roma and ‘travelling people' in a racist way, by creating an unacceptable amalgamation of a few individuals with entire communities, and announcing plans for ethnically targeted evictions of illegal settlements."

Mr. Sarkozy cannot be a Napoleon, though 80% of French voters support him taking forceful action, resulting in a 2% increase of the approval rating for Mr. Sarkozy.
Have you heard of the words "Tsiganes, Nomades, Gitans, Manouches, or Romanichels?"

SECTION I: Article 75 & Mr. Ozawa
There is a real possibility that 40-years-long lawmaker Mr. Ichiro Ozawa is elected as new prime minister of Japan this September, since Mr. Ozawa is expected to challenge incumbent P.M. Mr. Naoto Kan in the coming DPJ convention.
But, Lower-House member Mr. Ozawa is now subject to reviewing by the Committees for the Inquest of Prosecution regrading his illegal political fund reporting involving $4 million or $8 million.
Yet, if Mr. Ozawa should be elected as new prime minister, he will be safe from the possible indictment. If Mr. Ozawa should fail but threaten P.M. Mr. Kan through a close race to be appointed to a state minister, he will be also safe from the possible indictment.
It is the Article 75 of the Japanese Constitution that would protect the most powerful politician in the ruling party Mr. Ozawa:
Article 75.
The ministers of state, during their tenure of office, shall not be subject to legal action without the consent of the prime minister. however, the right to take that action is not impaired hereby.
Mr. Ichiro Ozawa can be another Richard Nixon in Japan of the 21st century.
Nonetheless, a majority of Japanese voters cannot accept Mr. Ozawa's attitudes so pro-Chinese and anti-Imperial Household Agency.
Thinking cool, Japan is a democratic giant in the world. Mr. Ozawa is allowed to exercise his right as a Japanese citizen under the democratic Constitution.
For your reference, prominent supporters (especially as observed over the Internet, if one time and to any extent) for Mr. Ichiro Ozawa include veteran lawmaker Mr. Muneo Suzuki, ex-Foreign Minister Mrs. Makiko Tanaka, ex-ambassador Mr. Naoto Amaki, economist Mr. Uekusa, ex-diplomat Mr. Masaru Sato, lawmaker/author Mr. Yasuo Tanaka, TV commentator/journalist Mr. Shuntaro Torigoe, journalist Mr. Uesugi, critic Mr. Takahiko Soejima, critic Mr. Kotaro Yamazaki, and some other TV commentators who have ever made a speech in private meetings for Mr. Ozawa to receive money...

If Mr. Ichiro Ozawa should become new P.M. of Japan, all of them would feel so proud.
Anyway, a general election will be needed as soon as possible after the 2011 bill of budget is passed in the National Diet early in the next spring under regime of whomever.
(My personal opinion is that Mr. Ichiro Ozawa should resign immediately as national lawmker to show respect to justice, or P.M. Mr. Kan should appoint Mr. Ozawa as his deputy in the DPJ in charge of managing election campaigns as Mr. Ozawa was in this position before the regime change last year.
Note that those who support Mr. Ozawa in general blame strongly Former Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Junichiro Koizumi since the Koizumi Cabinet was regarded as so friendly to Former President Mr. George W. Bush and Wall Street.)
SECTION II: China and the Bushes
China seems to have given priority to establishing strong connections with the Bushes in America and Mr. Ichiro Ozawa in Japan.

The Bush Connection in a Chinese Oil Deal
The Bush family may be better known for Texas barbeque than Peking duck, but nonetheless has long-reaching ties to China. Now, Dow Jones reports that Neil Bush, the younger brother of former U.S. President George W. Bush, represented Chinese oil giant Sinopec Group in a making a bid for part of an oil field in Ghana.

China agrees $3bn Iraq oil deal
Iraq and China have agreed the terms of a $3 billion oil service contract, Iraq's oil minister says, announcing the first major oil contract with a foreign firm since the fall of Saddam Hussein. The deal means China has taken the first opening since the US-led invasion for work on the world's third-largest reserves.
China's state hydroelectricity firm also signed a deal to build a new hydroelectric power station in Tajikistan on Wednesday worth up to $300 million officials said.

Iraq oil deal
Just another Bush failure... now x2 So, now America owes China billions in debt to pay for the Iraq war and China takes home the oil too (to their big polluting factories). Another "Mission Successful" for the history books...

The Bush family: Middle Kingdom rainmakers
By Zach Coleman
Yet the Bushes' business suddenly hit the headlines again in November, when documents and testimony from the divorce trial of the president's brother Neil showed that he had signed a contract to receive US$400,000 a year from Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing, a Chinese company co-founded by a son of former president Jiang Zemin, in return for business information and advice...
US companies also still see the Bushes as Middle Kingdom rainmakers. In December, Bush Jr invited a business group founded by Prescott to send 50 members to a reception on the White House lawn for visiting Premier Wen Jiabao. And a group of bankers and financiers travelled from the US with Bush Sr last month to an environmental protection conference in Shanghai that featured top officials from the standing committee of the National People's Congress and other government bodies, according to the Shanghai Star.

Of course, as I discussed once, the Rockefellers and some Japanese business have been profoundly involved in development of Shanghai.
Has China fully switched from the Bushes to the Clintons and President Mr. Barack Obama as the target of their American operation?
China now seems to aim to let down its old friend the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan but fully support the pro-Chinese Democratic Party of Japan (and Mr. Ichiro Ozawa).
(So, liberal Japanese are blaming the Koizumi-Bush-China linkage but welcoming the Ozawa-China-Bush linkage. What is the difference between the two questionable G3 lines?)

It is very interesting that Jesus Christ used spit to have a blind man restore his vision.
He also cured the man after leading him out of the town.
Buddha said that a man cannot run away from a fate of falling into illness, so that a man has to abandon his desire of living but try to enter Nirvana where a man is protected from evil of illness, since Nirvana is superior to the world where illness is real. But, in order to enter Nirvana, a man has to abandon his desire in this life.
If Jesus Christ cured a sick man, he might fall in illness again. So, you may think that Buddha's teaching is the final solution.
But, if the blind man in fact had not been blind at all, another light should be shed on this incident. The blind man knew how a tree looked like. So, he could compare a man to a tree.
But, what is the situation where a pretender that he was blind was brought to a saint who could make the blind get sight? No matter how much the saint tried to make the pretender get sight, the pretender would simply continue to pretend that he was blind. The saint should surely fail.
Enemies of Jesus Christ tried to disable miracle power of Jesus Christ in this way.
But, surprisingly, the pretender betrayed the enemies of Jesus Christ by pretending more drastically that he got sight due to miracle power of Jesus Christ. Yet, why?
This is your homework, though the answer might be that the pretender got afraid of the God as His Son was so close to him alone.
Indeed, a tree does not walk. The pretender further pretended to be a fool before the Son of God, which we should not however make fun of.

Mar 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
Mar 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
Mar 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
