Re:Is the US lagging behind Japan? (Score 1)

Let's not forget that after the World War 2 Japan was forbidden to develop and build war weapons, so they were forced to focus their investments in another kind of business.

One kind of business they focused is the high-tech, specially robotics.

Now if only the US government (specially now with Bush) wasn't so busy feeding the weapon industries, maybe some development in the area of robotics could be possible...
