Fukuda Steps Down, Taro Aso is Coming

Unable to overcome political gridlock in his country, Japanese PM Yasuo Fukuda has resigned. This paves the way for Taro Aso to come to power. Taro Aso would be even better for India than Shinzo Abe, as he has even tougher views on foreign policy. Unsurprisingly, the Atlanticist-led West doesn't like Aso. All the more reason for us to like him.
