Learning the Japanese Language

This person's blog/website amused me.  The author argues why Japanese is not difficult to learn.  Read and respond.  How effective do you think the argument is?

As a sidenote, the author does a nice job mentioning kanji.  However, there are several sets of alphabets that use kanji including one for foreign/"loan" words.  Several thousand kanji are required for a level of fluency.
