Newspaper editorials raised every conceivable stink and objection, with the left-liberal Asahi Shimbun out front crying that Mori's statement was ''incompatible with the Constitution's principle that the sovereignty of the nation resides in its people'' and that it ''infringes upon the fundamental principle of respect for basic human rights, including individual beliefs''.
Other commentators suggested Mori might have been better off being born 50 years earlier and more comfortable in the days of absolute and divine imperial power.
Mori, for his part, did the usual Japanese thing: he apologized, saying he had been misunderstood, but added - to his credit, we think - that he saw no reason to retract his remarks.
