japan and korea

Japanese parliament decided it would be best to withdrawal from the refueling mission given to them by the US. Japanese leaders will meet with Bush soon and discuss several issues, some of which might have something to do with their withdrawal. Amidst this, Japan does not want the US to take Korea off the blacklist of possible terrorism, even though it is agreed that the US will take Korea off if they disarm their nuclear weapons. So Japan needs the US to keep a watchful eye on Korea for them, it is said that Bush will be asking that Japan loosen regulations on aged beef.
