I'm not convinced FF:XIII is going to be a huge seller in JP. I don't think the PS3 install base is there, and I don't see millions of people buying a PS3 just to play FFXIII. It'll be hard pressed to break a million in JP I think.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
