I think we all know the real reason he resigned...
HIS STYLISH FASHION SENSE WAS TOO MUCH FOR THE WORLD TO HANDLE.

My wife voted for the DPJ, partly because of the promised Child Benefit, but also because she like many Japanese was fed up with stagnation under the LDP (except when Koizumi was in power).
According to Hatoyama, it is all the Japanese people's fault for not listening to him and his party. That sums up the crux of the problem which is that the entire Japanese governmental system, consisting of the Diet and the massive secretariat of ministries, regards the population as cattle to be led and milked.
Perhaps it is the government's fault for not listening to the Japanese people.

I think the recent trend of short lived prime ministers is a reflection of the great difficulties facing Japan right now. I never believed Hatoyama to be the man to lead Japan into a new era. I am still dubious to the DPJ as a whole. no doubt that they are right in saying that a change is needed from the stagnation of the LDP, but most of what I heard from the DPJ has not engendered any hope in myself that they will be able to return Japan to strong growth.
I think it is difficult for a foreign national to say they know what is right for any country that is not their own. I am not Japanese and I do not deeply understand the intricacies of their politics. However, there is a clear need for some major economic and policy reforms in Japan and I think a lot of them are at odds with some policies held dear by Japanese culture. I am not saying that they necessarily should emulate the US in their economic policy, but I do think that they need to make their economy more flexible. This will involve some very uncomfortable decisions.
I am with you Brad, I think Kan is the best man for the job. But I am nonetheless concerned, because I have yet to see any real impetus for attacking the problems that continue to hold back Japan's economy. Personally, I think Koizumi was on the right track and that things would be headed the right direction had many of his reforms not be cut off mid-stream.
I guess time will tell.

@Parasepsis Simply put, he was very non-Japanese in his attitudes towards leadership. It seems to be much harder to find someone with as much determination and will to lead as Koizumi. The man could have stood up to US presidents with his leadership -- most Diet members don't even come close.

You know, I can totally see why the Japanese are jaded with their own government. I mean, not to criticize Japanese political ideals, but it's going to take more than encouraging words and bearaucrats to get people to believe in them again.
I'm not too well versed in Japanese politics, but based on what I'd seen, I didn't really expect Hatoyama to last that long. To be honest, I think Japan needs another Koizumi (don't matter which party either), ie. a Japanese politician whom's political style is actually not that Japanese.

I know it isn't really my business, but I don't think it's America's either being anywhere in Japan. They need to do what almost everyone in Japan wants and abandon their bases in Okinawa, and I really hope the next PM in Japan can get them to.
I doubt it HyakuShiki1993, from an american military strategic standpoint Japan is geographically the best place for the military to dock battleships and landing strips for airplans. If war ever broke out in that hemisphere that involved the US, Japan would become prime land for resupplying. I doubt this day and age it will be needed, but thats been proven wrong before. As part of the unconditional surrenderafter WW(not that Japan is a major threat to anyone)the US wil occupy that area for as long as they feel the need. Too bad the president is being blamed for something they cant really control.
