North Kornuclear weapons program
Japanese Leaders Favor Bush Over Kerry
Two of Japan's most powerful politicians, in quick succession, effectively have endorsed President Bush in next month's election, in contrast to a recent poll suggesting that the Japanese people generally favor the Democratic candidate.
On Saturday, the secretary-general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Tsutomu Takebe criticized Sen. John Kerry for his pledge to hold direct talks with North Korea over its nuclear weapons program and other issues.''To negotiate [with Pyongyang] over Japan's head on issues including nuclear development would be exactly what North Korea wants,'' Takebe said in a speech in Niigata, Kyodo news agency reported. A day earlier, Takeba had been even more direct in his views, saying in a radio program: ''I think there would be trouble if it's not President Bush [who wins the election].''''For instance, Mr. Kerry wants to handle the North Korean issue bilaterally, which is out of the question,'' he added. ''We're now in the era of multilateralism.

thousands like Rosie rolled up
Rosie the Riveter has given way to Sally the Sniveler.
During World War II, young Rose Will Monroe was the face of American women in adversity: strong, supportive, and resolute against the enemy forces that threatened our existence. Tens of thousands like Rosie rolled up their sleeves, gritted their teeth, and flexed their muscles in factories and shipyards and arsenals across the country.
They made rockets and rifles and bombs and boats. They painted and drilled and welded. When they got home to their kids, they cooked and cleaned and collapsed in bed after praying for their husbands and brothers and uncles on the battlefield.
Rosie and her sisters in arms didn't have the luxury of complaining about their lack of ''me time.'' There was a war to be won. And so, as this presidential campaign season has constantly reminded us, there is today
But Rosie is gone. And in her place, we have Hysterical Women for Kerry. They are self-absorbed celebrities who support banning all guns (except the ones their bodyguards use to protect them and their children). They are teachers' union bigwigs who support keeping all children hostage in public schools (except their own sons and daughters who have access to the best private institutions). They are sanctimonious environmentalists who oppose ostentatious energy consumption (except for their air-conditioned Malibu mansions and Gulfstream Jets and custom Escalades.)
Kerry's sister, Peggy, landed in Ohio at a Women for Kerry rally to scare up female votes to oppose President Bush's ''war against women.'' At a time when Islamofascists are chopping off heads and kidnapping aid workers and plotting to kill schoolchildren, and at a time when untold numbers of malefactors are crossing into our borders, Peggy Kerry chose to whine about the alleged gender gap in white-collar salaries. ''That is not fair,'' she said. ''Let me tell you what my brother is going to fight for ?— pay equity.''
Meanwhile, a teacher for Kerry complained: ''If we lose the White House again, it is very possible we will lose public education.'' In Michigan, actress/legal observer Christine Lahti rallied Kerry women by warning: ''Listen up. If (Bush) is re-elected, he will appoint a (Justice) Clarence Thomas clone and reverse Roe versus Wade.'' The Kerry campaign has also sent actress Sharon Stone ?— who recently blamed President Bush for preventing her from kissing fellow actress Halle Berry in the awful movie Catwoman ?— to drum up female votes Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. But if Hollywood had to crown a poster girl for
Diaz: ''We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo ?— if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote, and those are the... Winfrey: ''It's your voice.'' Diaz: ''It's your voice. It's your voice, that's your right.''
We've come a long way, baby. The wrong way. Get a grip, girls. You are an embarrassment to a nation at war

The North Koreans believe theybe
North Korea plays a waiting game ?— for the outcome of U.S. election

The North Koreans believe they will have an easier time negotiating with a new administration headed by Sen. John F. Kerry, who has said publicly he would begin direct U.S.-North Korea talks if elected president. The Bush administration has rejected bilateral talks with Pyongyang, based on North Korea's violation of the 1994 Agreed Framework, which was a product of similar one-on-one talks.
The possibility of holding another round of the six-party talks this month had been discussed at the urging of U.S., Chinese and South Korean officials.
Secretary of State Colin Powell is traveling to Asia this week where he will tell China to use its influence on North Korea to prevent Pyongyang from conducting any provocative actions prior to the Nov. 2 elections. There are concerns that North Korean may conduct a missile flight test or some type of military activity to try to affect the outcome of the elections.
However, North Korea's communist government rejected any further talks with the Bush administration, asserting that the administration has adopted ''hostile'' policy positions toward North Korea.
Intelligence officials were worried recently that North Korea was preparing to conduct a missile flight test in violation of its self-imposed testing moratorium.
However, the preparations appeared to be part of a North Korean effort to test U.S. sensors.
Two U.S. Aegis-equipped destroyers have begun patrolling waters near North Korea as part of a new missile defense system being developed by the United States.
