Hi Dave,

>born in Japan of non-Japanese parents are not able to hold dual
>nationality. 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think U.S.A. is in the minority in
that the country gives a baby born in U.S.A. automatic nationality (or
was it citizenship). I believe there are more countries in the world
who don't have this practice especially in the Old World (including
Japan). It looks to me that U.S.A. and some countries in the New World
wanted to have as much as population as possible by giving favorable
treatment to babies born even on an airplane flying over the U.S. air
space!

But, again, we need some authoritative comment. Anyone?
