Indecision

See, America is becoming angry with Japan.

The Secretary of State pretty much never meets with an ambassador unless there is something to complain about, which is the case here.

Apparently part of the issue was that Hatoyama disclosed the discussions that went on between him and Clinton in Copenhagen last week, leading Clinton to have serious doubts about Hatoyama's diplomatc abilities.

Anyway, note Hatoyama's response:

"I completely understand the basic stance of the United States."

This is pretty much what he says about every issue, yet no concrete solution is ever presented. I mean, politicians are notorious for this kind of stuff but this is quite ridiculous; he only ever seems to say "I understand," "We may need to consider that," and "We will discuss that at a later time."
