戦勝国による裁判を云々するのなら、日本人地震が、もっと厳しく戦犯を追及するのが本筋である。
国際的には、むしろ、ホロコーストの大嘘認定で、未だに極右イスラエルのアラブ侵略・大量虐殺を援護しているニュルンベルグ裁判の方を、問題にすべきである。

Japanese official's remarks outrageous: American scholars

NEW YORK, June 1 (Xinhuanet) -- A Japanese official's recent remarks on those Class-A war criminals in the World War II are being pounded by American scholars who deplore the rhetoric as "outrageous" and "sad."
In an interview with Xinhua, Doctor Xiaobo Lu, director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University, said "Masahiro Morioka's recent comments reflected an undertone that has marked the rightward movement among Japanese politicians in recent years."
Morioka, parliamentary secretary for health, labor and welfare,told a parliament meeting of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Thursday that the Class-A war criminals convicted of crimes against peace and humanity by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East after the World War II are not criminals because the tribunal was "one-sided." He also said they are no longer regarded as criminals in Japan.
"His remarks about the validity of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East is nothing short of an escalation of the attempts by the Japanese right wing politicians to revise history, rather than to face history," Lu noted.
"It is outrageous, indeed sad, to see a country with a checkered past want to become 'normal' by whitewashing its past transgressions," said the scholar.
"It is outrageous because Japan has not, despite its claims otherwise, shown it is genuinely remorseful for its wrongdoings in the eyes of the peoples of the countries it once victimized," Lu added.
He pointed out that "it is sad that a strong country like Japanis not able to demonstrate its responsibility and confidence by rightfully accepting historical facts and interpretations."
"If the military leaders like Hideki Tojo were not war criminals, there would have been no war criminals," he said, adding "to embellish these people, dead as they are, is contrary to basic human dignity and moral judgment."
Chalmers Johnson, president of the Japan Policy Research Institute in California, said: "I totally disagree with Mr. Morioka."
"His response is typical of the short-sighted policies being pursued by the LDP," Johnson commented.
"It is absurd to keep listening to Japan's insults to the rest of the world," he said. Enditem

Koizumi again hints at plan to continue shrine visit

TOKYO, June 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi again indicated Thursday he will visit the war-related Yasukuni Shrine later this year despite strong protests from Asian countries.
According to Kyodo News, Koizumi told a House of Representatives Budget Committee session that he would decide "appropriately" when to go to the shrine.
When main opposition Democratic Party of Japan President Katsuya Okada tried to clarify whether Koizumi meant to continue his visits, the premier said,"The words can be taken as they are."
Koizumi conceded that he knows the Yasukuni Shrine authorities claim Japan's engagement in World War II to "free" Asia was legitimate, but said his visits are unrelated to that view, Kyodo News said.
"I don't want my visits to Yasukuni Shrine to be taken as meaning I support the shrine's view," he said, as Japanese Communist Party leader Kazuo Shii argued that a prime minister's visit to the shrine is tantamount to legitimizing the shrine's view.
Koizumi reiterated that his visits are aimed at paying tribute to Japan's war dead and pledging that the country will not wage war again, and demanded he be allowed freedom of thought in paying such visits even if he is the prime minister.
Koizumi has adamantly defended his Yasukuni visits despite calls from within the ruling parties to stop them.
On Wednesday, he dismissed a coordinated call by five former prime ministers and House of Representatives Speaker Yohei Kono that he be more cautious about the visits, as well as a similar warning from New Komeito leader Takenori Kanzaki, whose party forms the ruling coalition with Koizumi's ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
Koizumi has visited the shrine in Tokyo once every year since taking office in April 2001, and indicated May 16 he would visit again sometime this year. The last time he paid a visit was New Year's Day last year.
China and other Asian countries have strongly protested at the Japanese leader's visits to the notorious shrine that honors 14 Class-A World War II criminals responsible for the most atrocious crimes in Japan's aggression war against Asian neighbors. Enditem
