Saturday, July 26, 2003 For those who think that the US Congress is getting downright uncivil. check out what's happening in the Japanese Diet: Opposition lawmakers scramble around the chairman's seat as they seek to block the passage of a bill to dispatch troops to Iraq, at the parliament's Upper House in Tokyo, on July 25, 2003.
