William Pesek: "Prime Ministe= Shinzo Abe likes to say Japan is back in business. His case got a big boo=t on Thursday with news that the country's biggest initial public offering=this century -- the $11.6 billion listing of behemoth Japan Post -- will g= ahead this November. The share sale isn't just a sign that change is afoo= in the Japanese economy: It should help propel that process." Read more...

FOREIGN POLICY

Jonathan Bernstein: "Let's su=pose the Iran deal really is highly unpopular with the American public. Wh=t should everyone -- and, more important, politicians -- make of it? Pract=cally nothing. For almost all politicians' electoral purposes, what matter= on foreign-policy issues, especially complex ones, is the outcome. The be=t guess for whether a position or vote is safe is whether the policy works=in the long run, not whether it is popular before it is passed." =ead more...

2016 Elections

Ramesh Ponnuru: "Republicans =ould probably be better off in the general election next year if their [ta=] plans weren't quite so favorable to the rich. If they cut the taxes on c=pital gains and dividends a little less than Rubio or Paul want, cut taxes=on high earners a little less than Bush or Paul want, and included some ve=sion of Rubio's child credit, they'd still be advancing pro-growth reforms= But they'd be less vulnerable to criticisms about boosting the deficit an= favoring the wealthy."

LAW

Noah Feldman: "How much shoul= you know before your baby is entered into a medical study? That complicat=d and heartbreaking question has been at the center of a controversy about=a clinical trial that tested the effects of different oxygen levels on pre=ature infants with extremely low birth weights."

LATIN AMERICA

Mac Margolis: "Standard & Poo='s decision to demote Brazil's debt to junk status on Sept. 9 hit the coun=ry's political class right where it should have -- square in the gut. ... =razil faces its deepest recession in 25 years, policy drift and now a repu=ation deficit that threaten to undo years of prosperity and social gains."=Read more...

Declassified

Josh Rogin: "The Barack Oba=a administration and the U.S. intelligence community have concluded that R=ssia is set to start flying combat missions from a new air base inside Syr=a, but there's disagreement inside the U.S. government on what to do about=it." Read more..=

Companies

Justin Fox: <=span>"Herbalife and its multilevel-marketing peers expend a l=t of money and effort lobbying Congress and the FTC in defense of their bu=iness methods; surely it's healthy to have somebody with lots of resources=pushing in the opposite direction. Still, it's hard to imagine [hedge fund=manager Bill] Ackman's campaign bringing on a collapse of Herbalife, his a=owed aim." Read more...

Sports

Kavitha Davidson: Chinese e-c=mmerce giant Alibaba's entry into sports "is part of a larger effort to di=ersify its brand to entertainment in general, and enter the wide world of =ontent. … Alibaba may not be the early mover, but its size and rev=nue give it a real advantage in the race among China's Internet companies =o capitalize on the growth of digital media."
