I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Wednesday set a chilly tone for Asian relations in 2006 by blaming China and South Korea for the diplomatic stalemate over his visits to Yasukuni Shrine.

Regardless of the country and their feelings about Yasukuni, Koizumi did say that his visits were of his own personal believe and by virtue of that Japan should not pay any atterntion to their rants. They are interfering in domestic personal religion.
They should reserve those comments for those who make the "official" visits.
It's begining to look more and more like the other steps that are alledged to be aimed at making Japan more isolated in Asia.

Koizumi apprently signed in as Prime Minister in earlier visits, and the act of going to Yasukuni on politically significant days is clearly a nod to far-right elements in his party. The "it's only personal" thing is a pretty shallow ruse which the Koreans, Chinese (and Japanese both for and against the visits) are not going to fall for.
The visits have nothing to do with religion- they are about reclaiming Japan's past by honoring the cause and sacrifice of ALL the war dead- including the leaders of the aggressive war.
Which isn't to say Korea and China are blameless in their use of history- it takes two tango...
Iran successfully test-fired on Sunday a new high-speed underwater missile capable of destroying huge warships and submarines, a top military commander announced.
"Today we have successfully test-fired a high-speed underwater missile with a speed of 100 meters per second, which is able to overcome the enemy's sonar and radar," Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, the deputy commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards naval force, told state television.
Fadavi claimed the underwater missile was the fastest in the world, with the exception of a missile developed in another country. He did not provide the other nation's name.

I would wager the 'unnamed country' is the current enemy-of-the-day.
