国際金融業は、もう少し待てば日本の郵貯の３５０兆円を手にする事が出来る。

（歴史は現代のジレンマに直面しました。小泉純一郎(日本の首相)は、国のその膨大な貯金を持った郵便局を民営化する彼の壮大な計画についての否決され、選挙へ行くでしょう。
今のところ、日本の保守主義の共産主義的社会の一員は反官僚的で民営化する急進主義の支持を得ました。国際金融業は、日本の貯蓄のその３５０兆円を手に入れるためにもう少し長く待たなければならないでしょう。

A contemporary dilemma haunted by history

Junichiro Koizumi, Japan’s prime minister, has lost the vote on his grand scheme to privatise the country’s post office with its vast savings pool and will go to the polls. For now, the village-pump communitarian face of Japanese conservatism has won out over anti-bureaucratic, privatising radicalism. The global finance industry will have to wait a little longer to get its hands on that $3,000bn of Japanese savings.

But the snap election next month is likely to focus as much on the dire state of Japan’s relations with China and Korea as on privatisation.
Here at issue is the other face of Japanese conservatism: the reluctance to feel guilty about the war. The key symbol of that reluctance has been Mr Koizumi’s visits to the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo to pay respects to Japan’s war dead. There is speculation he might open his election campaign with such a visit on the 60th anniversary of the war’s end next Monday.
Opinion polls show a bare majority think it “wiser” not to go. Mr Koizumi may think bravado and talking tough to the Chinese will win more votes than wisdom.
