Feb 4, 2011 - The war on Iraq is still raging in this building, but in a far different manner than it did in Iraqi towns and cities. Some one hundred members of parliament are demanding that the government investigate Japan's support of the war.
They are not happy about the lukewarm reaction to their request and they feel the Japanese people deserve more.
Japan, in 2004 under Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, supported the war on Iraq and pledged 5 billion dollars for what it called the reconstruction of the country.
According to the Foreign Ministry, 1.5 billion dollars of grant aid have already been obligated and 3.5 billion dollars in yen loan projects have been taking shape one by one. Additionally, Japan agreed to cancel approximately 6 billion dollars in public debt owed to Japan by Iraq. Japan dispatched 600 Self-Defense Forces to Iraq under a special measures law.
When the forces were dispatched to Iraq, polls showed that the majority of Japanese opposed the decision largely on the basis that settling international disputes violated the Constitution. {continued}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
DeJa-Vu: “With no shared sacrifices being asked of civilians after Sept. 11", Decades and War From, All Over Again!!
