Is Japan at peace or at war?
Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the interest of
protecting his nation and maintaining the peace is leading his nation in the
direction of “Collective Self-Defense.”
This doctrine would allow Japan to partner with nations in the region to
deter aggression, most notably from Communist led China.
This initiative has riled many pacifists in Japan. Many have valid concerns of Japan losing its
pacifists posture they enjoyed for the past seventy years. Others are motivated by leftists / communist
ideology, while others are influenced by North Korea and China. Japan partnering with nations to deter
aggression will slow down if not stop China’s beligerant behavior.
Many protest over Mr. Abe’s initiatives have occurred
throughout Japan. A courious aspect of
these demonstrators are signs they display written in English reading “Peace No
War.” Huh?
What “Peace?” What
“War?” Have they fallen victim to an
American Public School education? They
already have the “peace,” because Japan is not currently nor planning to engage
in combat. Japan has not been at “War”
in the last seventy years. Do they think
Japan is still at “War?”
Not to be outdone with perceived anti-Abe protest some
clowns across the Sea of Japan in South Korean have demonstrated against Japan
because of Prime Minister Abe. Are these
people also victims of an American Public School education? Do they not realize the doctrine of “Collective
Self-Defense” would involve actively supporting South Korea when North Korea
attacks? In other words they are
protesting against a Prime Minister who wants to assist their nation in
maintaining their sovereignty in the face of their neighbor to the north.
