Japan 2016 - July 10

[Vosem]

Abe is probably a better person than Sato Eisaku, so I won't shed tears for Sato's postwar record if Abe breaks it with a significantly reduced majority.

I ask out of ignorance, not disagreement, but...what was wrong with Eisaku Sato? All I know about him is that he received the Nobel Peace Prize for refusing to allow nuclear weapons to be stationed in Japan (a position that I'm not particularly a fan of, but I can't imagine you agree with me on this).
