If the Obama administration makes a public statement about what its commitment is, I think that is not a bad indication of what it intends to do. If the Prime Minister of Japan makes a public statement indicating what his commitment is on behalf of his nation, that is not a bad indication of what they are proposing to do. These are elected heads of government or heads of state and they are making commitments on behalf of their nation.
