I wonder if these guys understand how close they are to the border with N. Korea, with S.Korean and U.S. troops keeping the N. Koreans from overrunning the place.

A: This is ridiculous! Letting a woman become the head of state?! In our country, they can become a politician, but that's as far as we let them go. We men come up with sexist remarks to keep them in their place.

K: Politicians??!! We don't even let our women out of the kitchen. Ridiculous!

Our man Taro is stylin' and profilin'!

It's good to see a J-politician with a modicum of style and fashion. I'm tired of seeing an endless lineup of drab poorly groomed grinches .

C Harald Hansen - Ha ha, you're right, my mistake!

Khalili - We got just about the most backward country in the world, with unbelievable corruption.

Does Aso think he's a 1930s mob boss?

Aso is making him an offer he can't understand.

The Afghan government is legendarily corrupt. It looks like Aso is offering a couple of tips.

Nah, this is a still from 'Raiders of the lost ark'. When he removes his leather glove he has a disfigured hand where he picked up a very hot amulet.
