Some former presidents launch foundations. Others visit Arabian palaces. George W. Bush? He's over in Tokyo, throwing out the first pitchat the Japanese equivalent of the World Series alongside Junichiro Koizumi, the former prime minister of Japan. As far as foreign leaders go, Koizumi was the closest thing Bush had to a BFF. We're guessing they have lots to talk about, since both, you may recall, saw the political alignment of their countries shift under their leadership.
