【ワシントン＝鎌塚由美】米紙ボストン・グローブ（十七日付）は社説で、安倍官房長官の「敵基地攻撃能力の保有」発言について、「帝国日本の略奪の記憶が色あせていない」諸国を怒らせていると指摘しました。
社説は、日本の指導者が日本に向かってくるミサイル実験を心配する理由はあるとしながらも、「日本の政治家の反応は、帝国日本の略奪の記憶が色あせていない諸国の怒りを引き起こすものだった」と述べています｡
社説は、安倍官房長官について「小泉首相の後継者の最有力候補である」と紹介。「日本の平和憲法が、北朝鮮のミサイル発射台を攻撃する『自衛』を容認していると述べるだけでなく、日本は近隣諸国に対して先制攻撃を行うかもしれないと主張した」と同氏の発言を詳報しています。
その発言については、「国粋主義を強く主張する新たな基調に慣れつつある国内の聴衆には奏功したかもしれないが、韓国、中国の双方にはかつての憤慨を復活させただけだ｣と指摘しています｡

Losing Asian allies
July 17, 2006
HAWKS IN THE Bush administration may have thought they were applying irresistible pressure on North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Il by refusing to conduct direct, give-and-take negotiations on the North's nuclear program and by enforcing banking restrictions to punish Kim's regime for its counterfeiting and money-laundering operations. But in the aftermath of the North's missile launches on July 4, President Bush's refusal to explore a deal with Pyongyang appears to be backfiring. Not only does the North's stockpile of processed plutonium for nuclear weapons continue to grow. Relations among America's principal Asia allies -- relations that Bush's predecessors had cultivated with great care -- are coming unraveled.
The most evident clash is that between Japan and South Korea. Japan's leaders, it is true, have more reason than their neighbors to be anxious about North Korea's missiles since the six short- and medium-range missiles tested successfully were all headed toward Japan. Nevertheless, the reactions of Japanese politicians were of a kind to raise hackles in countries where imperial Japan's depredations have not faded from memory.
The front-runner to succeed Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi of Japan this fall, Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe, made a statement that may have played well with a domestic audience growing accustomed to a new tone of assertive nationalism but could only revive old resentments in both Korea and China. "If we accept that there is no other option to prevent a missile attack, there is an argument that attacking missile bases would be within the legal right of self-defense," Abe declared. In so doing, he was broaching concepts certain to anger Japan's neighbors.
Not only was he asserting that Japan's pacifist constitution permits a "self-defense" attack on North Korean missile launch pads, but also that Japan might conduct a preemptive military action against its neighbor.
South Korea's response was hardly subtle. President Roh Moo-hyun issued a statement calling Japanese leaders "arrogant and reckless." The South Korean president's spokesman said: "It is a serious development that Japanese cabinet ministers have made a series of comments that justify a possible preemptive strike and the use of military power. . . . It has unveiled Japan's expansionist nature."
China thus far has been much more restrained, but Beijing's worries about resurgent Japanese nationalism are no less acute than South Korea's. And the longer Bush refuses to test North Korea's professed willingness to cede its nuclear and missile programs for the right price, the more stress will be applied to relations among America's principal allies and commercial partners in east Asia.
