Blank check for Paulson?

NEW YORK — U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's $700 billion rescue package ran into difficulty on Capitol Hill over the weekend. Rightly so: It is ill-conceived. Congress would be abdicating its responsibility if it gave the Treasury secretary a blank check.

Bush will go away as a true friend to China

HONG KONG — As the world prepares to bid farewell to U.S. President George W. Bush in a few months, his foreign policy lies in tatters.

Sharing stories of the war

Thank you for the Sept. 18 editorial "Day of the war makers." I was one of those who suffered during the Japanese occupation of the former Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. My father was killed by the Kempeitai. But I fully agree that it is good to listen to each other's stories.

Computer games dwarf nature

Roger Pulvers' Sept. 21 article, "In harmony with all creation," was a reminder that not all Japanese blindly embraced industrial "progress" in the 20th century, although there are still far too many salarymen today who devote their entire drab, gray lives to fluorescent-lit corporate plantations.

Koizumi should not be blamed

It is a bit ridiculous to blame the rice scandal on former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. I live in Australia and we have very little regulation of our food supply. But we don't have these kinds of food scandals, thankfully. Anyone in my country who is selfish and stupid enough to sell food to people...

No offense intended to 'gaijin'

Regarding the Sept. 23 Community page article "Readers get last word on 'gaijin' tag": It is way too extreme to compare the word "n--ger" to "gaijin." I get the point that Debito Arudou made in his Sept. 2 article about the debate over the use of "gaijin." But as a Japanese, I have to say that most Japanese...

A path to assured destruction

As I am neither a resident of Japan nor Japanese, I am willing to tentatively accept professor Kazuo Ogoura's analysis of the roots of "Japan's antipathy toward China" in his Sept. 23 article. Where I take strong exception is his analysis of the roots of "China's antipathy toward Japan."

Ups and downs on Japan's property ladder

Foreigners and the Japanese property market — the two sound like unlikely bedfellows, but in recent years their "liaisons" have been the focus of much media attention — and not all of it positive.

Is foreign rice really that bad?

Amid all the recent clamor over "tainted" foreign rice, Philip Brasor's Media Mix article of Sept. 21, "Koizumi branded the bad boy in latest food scandal," provides interesting food for thought.

Indian perspective on nuclear deal

Regarding the Sept. 17 article "Mayors slam U.S.-India nuke deal": As an Indian, I fully respect the noble views of the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with regard to the deal allowing India international access to nuclear supplies and technology.
