I'm making the White House's Hotline wait.

It's the President of America, you know.

Me, the Prime Minister of Japan, is making him wait by his phone, so I could come here to share a meal with my subordinate.

Time sure has changed, has it not?

Yes.

Without casting down the slogan to renounce the war.

We have pulled away from the number 2 two seat, and have now established ourselves as the world Number 1 Military Superpower.

Doesn't that make you feel proud?
