Koizumi was quoted as saying. &#8220;That is the way we should transform our country from a nation with almost no resources.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rising oil prices are behind the move, but, ultimately, Japan is demonstrating once again that it can take the long view on a current &#8220;crisis.&#8221;
