The Return of Taro Aso
Published: September 24, 2008

Japan's new prime minister, Taro Aso, is well known — and not fondly remembered — by Japan's neighbors as a pugnacious nationalist. As foreign minister from 2005 to 2007, Mr. Aso soured relations with China and South Korea and raised tensions throughout the region, praising the achievements of prewar Japanese colonialism, justifying wartime atrocities and portraying China as a dangerous military threat.

Now, the power brokers in the long-governing Liberal Democratic Party have made him Japan's fourth prime minister in just two years and rebranded Mr. Aso as a "pragmatist."

Mr. Aso is expected to focus on stimulating Japan's stagnant economy. To successfully lead a 21st-century Japan, he will also need to swap nationalism for pragmatism when it comes to foreign relations. Japan's future depends on cultivating stronger political and economic relations with China — its largest trading partner — South Korea and other rapidly advancing neighbors.

He has assured Washington that he will resist opposition efforts to shut down a Japanese naval refueling mission in the Indian Ocean — Japan's risk-free demonstration of support for American and allied military efforts in Afghanistan.

What the United States most needs from Japan is a responsible strategic partner, not a government whose imperial reveries and symbolic muscle-flexing will provoke angry reactions across Asia.

Nationalism is enjoying a disturbing political revival because many Japanese fear that their country, once Asia's clear economic leader, is losing ground to booming neighbors. The answer for that doesn't lie in the nostalgic fantasies about Japan's ugly past for which Mr. Aso has become well known.

Instead, Japan needs to modernize its economy by completing the market reforms begun by Junichiro Koizumi, the former prime minister. And it needs to modernize its foreign policy by treating its neighbors as equals. If Mr. Aso can be pragmatic enough to adopt that agenda, he is likely to be a successful prime minister.

I disagree with your Sept. 25 editorial "The Return of Taro Aso," about Japan's new prime minister.

Mr. Aso, as Japanese foreign minister from 2005 to 2007, greatly contributed to enhancing relations with China and South Korea in cooperation with his counterparts.

Regarding China, Mr. Aso devised and advanced the establishment of a mutually beneficial relationship based on common strategic interests that led to subsequent significant improvement of Japan-China relations. Li Zhaoxing, the former Chinese foreign minister, thanked Mr. Aso in Tokyo last month for his endeavors in achieving this.

Concerning South Korea, Mr. Aso strove to build a constructive, future-oriented relationship. In September, when he called on Secretary General Ban Ki-moon after his United Nations speech, Mr. Ban thanked Mr. Aso, recalling that their efforts and friendship as foreign ministers had been quite instrumental in resolving problems and improving bilateral relations.

As Japanese foreign minister, Mr. Aso strengthened Japan's equal partnerships with China and South Korea. Returning to the diplomatic forefront as prime minister, Mr. Aso articulated his pragmatic approach in his United Nations speech, with his core message of peace and happiness through economic prosperity and democracy.

WHITE AMERICA?

Think, for once, Pat Buchanan told it like it is without regard to stupid public opinion about our 'candidates' for President of the United States of America .

Subject: BUCHANAN TO OBAMA

by Patrick J. Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.? Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances Where is the gratitude?　Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks.　Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids.? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit over 73% percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached approximately 56% percent? Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself ?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 48% percent of the time ? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are over 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 143 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case about Jena ...all of which turned out to be hoaxes, and false allegations. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing...so, what's going on in the media ?

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and over 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear !!!!!!! Moreover - if things don't change within the next 20 years The America that was established by our forbearers will be gone.

Moreover, they espouse being 'African-Americans' - get real - basically none of them came from Africa ! Their ancestors came from Africa . Or should we all start calling ourselves by where our ancestors derive: German Americans, Italian Americans, Irish Americans, French Americans, Spanish Americans, Polish Americans, English Americans, etc. etc. etc. We live in the UNITED STATES, not the separatestates. They are the ones keeping themselves on the outside via non-conformity choices.

「白人のアメリカだと？」

一度考えてみたまえ。　パット・ブキャナンが、「大統領候補」に関する馬鹿な世論など気にせず、こう発言したところを。

「ブキャナンからオバマへ」　
パトリック・J・ブキャナン

バラク・オバマは公平に、アメリカの人種問題について話し合うべきだと言うのだろうか？　しかし今の時点で、一方通行でない対話が求められている。単なるお説教ではなく、白人のアメリカにも耳を傾けるべきだ。今の時点で、物言わぬ多くの人々が、その判断について、その不満について、その要求について聞いてもらいたがっている。その内容とは、例えばこんなものだ。

第１に、アメリカは黒人に取って地上最良の国であった。かつて６０万人の黒人が奴隷船でアフリカから連れて来られ、それが、４千万人の黒人社会へと成長し、キリスト教の救済を得て、やがては黒人たちの歴史において最高度の自由と繁栄へ到達したのが、この国なのだ。ライト（白人のアメリカと罵詈憎言のオバマの牧師）はひざまづいて、神に感謝を捧げるべきだろう。

第２に、黒人たちの地位を、白人ほど引き揚げようとする人々は、今までいなかった。福祉や無料給食や、貸し出し補助やセクション８住宅や、奨学金支給や学生ローンや、法律相談や医療保険、所得税減免措置や貧困救済措置など、黒人たちを社会の主流に招き入れるため、６０年代から何億ドルもの予算が費やされてきた。

政府も企業も大学も、白人差別に加わってきた。黒人の志望者を白人志望者より優先するための、アファーマティブアクションや黒人採用枠などのことだ。

アメリカ中の教会・財団・市民団体・学校・個人が、その時間と金銭を、黒人用の無料給食所や成人教育、デイケアや老人福祉、看護つき老人ホームなどに寄付してきたのだ。

それらに対する感謝があるのか？という不満をよく耳にする。バラク・オバマは黒人のための、「チャンスのはしご」について語る。　オバマをアルトゥーナやジョンズタウンに行かせて、カトリック学校の白人児童たちに最近、一体、何名のアイビーリーグ大学で奨学金を担当する職員たちが、彼ら白人児童に「受給資格がある」ことを告げに来てくれたか、質問させるべきだろうか？

黒人の犯罪発生率と拘禁率が白人の７倍に達するという事実に対し、白人のアメリカは本当に責任があるのだろうか？黒人コミュニティにおける私生児出生率が７３％にのぼり、いくつかの都市では黒人生徒の高校退学率が５６％に達するという問題は、本当に白人たちの犯した過ちだろうか？それは白人たちの失敗なのか、あるいは最初から最後まで黒人コミュニティの失敗ではないのか？

人種差別とは、特に人種間の暴力は、人種間における最も醜い犯罪である。バラク・オバマは、白人犯罪者が黒人を被害者に選ぶ件数が事件の３％なのに対し、黒人が白人を被害者に選ぶ件数が事件の４８％であることに、気づいているだろうか？バラクは、黒人が白人をレイプする件数が、その逆の件数の百倍以上であることに、また今世紀最初の３年間において、黒人が白人の物を盗む件数が、その逆の件数の１４３倍であることに、気づいているだろうか？　

デューク・レイプ事件のイェナ、タワナ・ブロウリーの修正A1に関する果てしない議論について、誰しも聞いたことがあるだろう。売春婦と虚偽の証言についてだ。しかし黒人たちの、白人たちに対する大規模な殺傷事件は事実なのに、我々は何も聞かされない。メディアで何が起きているのか？

申し訳ない、バラク・オバマさん、４０年間にわたり、４兆ドルもの税金が費やされたことを、我々は以前聞いたことがある。このことは世間に広める必要がある。なぜならこのことは、誰もが知るべきことだからだ！しかも状況が、このままあと２０年間変わらなければ、我々の先駆者たちの築き上げたアメリカは、消滅してしまうだろう。

それに、「アフリカ系アメリカ人」という表現もおかしい。実際は、彼らのうち誰一人アフリカから来た者はいないからだ！彼らの先祖はアフリカ出身だ。さもなければ、我々も自分たちのことを、先祖の出身地で呼ばねばならなくなる。　「ドイツ系アメリカ人」、「イタリア系アメリカ人」、「フランス系アメリカ人」、「スペイン系アメリカ人」、「ポーランド系アメリカ人」、「イギリス系アメリカ人」、などなど。　我々は、ばらばらな国ではなく、「合衆国」に住んでいるのだ。不適切な用語によって、彼らは自分たちを、社会の外部に置こうとしている。

（以上）

People are capable of making up history to suit their own needs. The New York Times reported that Ms. Tania Head, a prominent 9-11"survivor," made a number of unverifiable claims concerning her experience during the attack on the World Trade Center. What motivated her to fabricate her experience is unknown. What is clear, though, is that she lied, just as those who have created a false history with respect to the Japanese capture of Nanking in1937.

There are many Chinese "survivors" ( and "remorseful Japanese former soldiers") who supposedly witnessed Japanese murders and rapes following the capture of Nanking. However, the facts, as reported by foreigners working in the Nanking Safety Zone, do not square with the allegations. Even the Nazi industrialist John Rabe, who worked in the zone, did not personally witness any of the alleged crimes occurring in Nanking. As a true capitalist, Rabe was mostly intent on maintaining business with the Chinese and saw Japanese competition as a threat to profits. Despite the obvious propaganda value, at the time, even the Chinese Communists made no mention of mass atrocities occurring within the (at the time) capital city.

Remembrance of past traumatic experiences tends to be distorted, which is human nature. However, there is no benefit in perpetuating history based on distorted memories or lies.

「CHINA LIES」の和訳です。 VENOM先生が和訳してくれました。有難う。伊勢


「中国は嘘をつく」

人は、必要に応じて歴史を作り上げることができるものだ。ニューヨークタイムズは、9.11テロの「生き残り」であるタニア・ヘッドさんについて報じた。しかしワールドトレードセンターがテロ攻撃を受けたときの彼女の経験には、数え切れないほどの疑問が提起された。彼女がどのような動機にもとづいて、自分の経験をでっち上げたのかは分からない。　はっきりしていることは、彼女が嘘をついているということだ。それはちょうど1937年の日本軍の南京占領に関し、嘘の歴史を作り上げたようなものだ。

南京占領の後、日本軍の殺人と強姦を目撃した、と称する中国人の「生き残り」　（および、「それを悔いている元日本兵」）　が、数多く存在する。しかし実際は、南京の安全区で働いていた外国人たちの報告するように、そうした主張と食い違っている。　ナチ党員の事業家だったジョン・ラーベは安全区で働いていたが、彼ですら南京で起きたとされるそうした犯罪を、自分自身では目撃しなかった。　真の資本主義者としてラーベの望みは、中国人と行っていた彼のビジネスを続けることであり、日本企業との競争が彼の利益を脅かすと見たのだ。プロパガンダ上は大変な価値があることが明らかだったにも関わらず、その頃は中国共産党ですら、当時の首都で起きた大量虐殺については言及しなかった。

過去の苦痛に満ちた経験の記憶は、往々にして歪められがちであり、それが人間の性質というものだ。　しかし歪曲された記憶や嘘にもとづいて、歴史を語ることには何の益もない。

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday tried to ease its way out of a dispute between South Korea and Japan over a cluster of islands both countries claim, which had threatened to mar U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to Seoul next week.

A small government agency, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, had changed its designation of the islands from South Korea to no longer belonging to any country, sparking outrage in Seoul at a perceived shift in U.S. policy.

The White House said that decision would be reversed after complaints by South Korea. Bush will visit Seoul August 5-6 amid lingering tensions from another dispute, the lifting of a five-year ban on U.S. beef imports into the country.

"We regret that this change in designation was perceived by South Koreans as some sort of change in our policy," Dennis Wilder, senior director for Asian affairs at the White House National Security Council, told reporters.

The islands are called Dokdo in Korean and Takeshima in Japanese.

After the United States was contacted by high-level South Korean government officials, Bush ordered U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to look into the matter, Wilder said.

"It was decided after that review that the change in designation was not warranted at this time, and so that database is now being restored to where it was prior to this change in designation," he said.

Wilder noted that U.S. policy remained that Washington was neutral and that Japan and South Korea needed to resolve the dispute diplomatically.

The question of sovereignty, long a sore point in relations, erupted again this month after schools in Japan were advised to refer to them as Japanese territory. It sparked angry protests outside the Japanese Embassy in Seoul and the South Korean government made an official protest.

Japan and South Korea both claim historical rights to the cluster of rocks, which have little obvious economic value but are in the midst of fishing grounds and may sit above valuable deposits of natural gas hydrate.

George Bush is no longer in the Japanese people's mind. He is the worst president in the US history. I have lived in America for 41 years, and I know it. I can't wait for president McCain to lead this weakening America.

I heard Nancy Pelosi is coming to Japan in August sixth Hiroshima day. Does she forget about the comfort women resolution which passed the lower house at this time of the last year? She is a hypocrite, ignorant and traitor for Japan. She is not welcomed as well as Mike Honda by milions of Japanese citizen. Iseheijiro spokesman for Nippon Falcons League

Can Obama Lead the Military?
by William_M_Arkin

Is Barack Obama already shooting himself in the foot as commander-in-chief? In a long interview by the Military Times newspapers, the candidate shows a deference to the uniformed military, a humility that he associates with his lack of service in uniform but one that could also backfire as Clintonian weakness – Bill Clinton that is. "I have always said that as commander in chief, I would seek the advice and counsel of our generals," Obama said in the interview. "Great. The inmates will be running the asylum," an insider tells me.

Withdrawal from Iraq, his own surge in Afghanistan, dealing with the Bush legacy on Iran and Pakistan, missile defenses in Europe, increasing the size of the Army and Marine Corps despite his Iraq withdrawal pledge, a bloated and voracious defense budget, the outsourcing of defense, the intelligence mess, China and Russia: What does the candidate tell us that is his new innovation? He says he wants to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. Yeah, let's spend the first year of a new administration fighting about this again…

１） Asking generals what to do about a war is like asking a wino what to do with all this wine. The war was wrong, period. That is the policy that Obama needs to adhear to. The only thing he should be talking to the generals about is how to best pull our troops out. HE is the leader, and implementing HIS policy is what he should consentrate on. The majority of americans are behind that policy, and spending any time or political capital　trying to placate the twenty some percent that wants this war is a waste of his time, and damages his credibility with the majority. He needs to stop trying to please everyone and stick to his guns.

２） The most troublesome aspect of Senator Obama's position on military and foreign affairs, is that he really believes that his powers of persuasion will be sufficient to transform complex dynamics that have evolved over the course of hundreds of years in America as well as in other cultures.

Senator Obama's relIance on the Military Brass for leadership credibility would have the same effect that the Neo-Cons had on G.W Bush, It will overwhelm him to the point of irrelevance. He has implicitly admitted that he has an inferiority complex when it comes to apposing the Macho Men in uniform. This is a red flag that should worry American voters.

Senator Obama' shifting position on Iraq demonstrates that he is less willing to challenge the military's leadership when confronted about his positions publicly. By trying to sound and look tough, Senator Obama has shown how little he really trust himself when it comes to leading the country's warrior class. Senator Obama lacks the character and convictions necessary to be the Comander in Chief of the armed forces and the Democratic party knows it.



３）＞＞ "Asking generals what to do about a war is like asking a wino what to do with all this wine. The war was wrong, period."

I encourage you to read the book "Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam" by US Army Brigadier General (Select) H. R. McMasters before you so dismissively denigrate the military leadership in favor of an inexperienced civilian Commander in Chief. The President needs to articulate a clear vision, but in doing so he/she needs to pay attention to those that have a true understanding of the profession of arms and the costs of war. Does Obama possess the traits and skills to be a good Commander in Chief? I, for one, do not believe so.

４）＞＞What does the candidate tell us that is his new innovation?…
Posted by William_M_Arkin

Well, nothing. Now that he's a candidate for President he needs to advocate sensible policies. Before this he could advocate silly policies that were effective vote-getters from his base. Now he needs to advocate policies that won't make him look like a fool if he tries to implement them as President.

It's just like the anti-free-trade rhetoric he was spouting on the campaign trail. He even had to send operatives to Canada (and probably other countries) in order to reassure foreign governments that he wasn't really a fool.

Expect President Obama to continue 98% of the Bush Administration policies. He'll throw his followers a few high-profile bones like "gays in the military" to cover this up. Maybe the press will play along with the charade, maybe it won't.　Pretty funny if you ask me. I love politics.

５） Yet again, we have no idea where Obama stands on this issue. He has said that he would be deferential, yet repeatedly states that he sets strategy, and the generals can set tactics. Great. What is Obama's Middle East strategy? No one knows. Would he question his generals' tactics, like Lincoln and Churchill regularly did? It would seem that he wouldn't.

（解説）３００以上のコメントですね。米軍が外国で戦争をしているわけだから、「オバマが総司令官になったら、どうする？」と関心が高い。日本が国防軍を持って、アメリカから、独立するには、こういった議論が必要なのです。さらに、日本のインテリジェンスは、こういったブログのコメントを収集して分析する能力を必要とするのです。外務官僚も、防衛官僚も、そういった人種ではない。首相からして、非戦平和主義〜反戦主義ならば、関心はないはずだ。伊勢
