A photo from the arrival of Japanese troops in southern Iraq to inspect the grounds for their future base in the town of Samawa. The story is here and more photos are here. It's a little weird to see Japanese soldiers walking around and armed with rifles in a combat zone post-WWII, but here's to hoping that their presence will help the effort to stabilize Iraq.
Plus, they might bring robot suits or something.
