元記事紹介さんくす。オーストラリアもＷＷⅡで日本の捕虜になった人たちが劣悪な環境下でかなり亡くなっているし、カウラ事件もあったしね RT @nobosuzuki 元記事読むと、もっときつい内容だよね。悪名高い東條とか。http://t.co/TPI27uOUEu …

Shinzo Abe's unhelpful shrine visit
The Australian December 28, 201312:00AM
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/editorials/shinzo-abes-unhelpful-shrine-visit/story-e6frg71x-1226790856500
JAPANESE Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been unnecessarily provocative by visiting the Yasukuni war shrine despite being forewarned that doing so would cause grave offence, particularly to China and South Korea, at an extremely dangerous juncture in the deepening East China crisis.
Yet he went ahead, and while he clearly anticipates domestic political advantage in having done so it is hard to see the visit as anything but an own goal for Japan's international relations.
By, in effect, thumbing his nose at Beijing and Seoul, as well as Washington, Mr Abe has made things more difficult for friends and allies like Australia that have gone out on a limb to support him in the confrontation over the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islands.
His actions have played into the hands of Chinese leaders trying to use the spectre of revanchist Japanese militarism to justify their regional expansionism.
Japanese officials have argued Mr Abe's visit was no more significant than an American president going to Arlington National Cemetery.
However, the shrine in central Tokyo venerates 2.5 million Japanese war dead, including notorious characters such as wartime leader General Hideki Tojo and other war criminals responsible for the most egregious and inhumane excesses.
They were the men who ran the brutal war in China and Southeast Asia in which millions were killed, with Japanese forces routinely massacring, raping and attacking civilians with chemical and biological weapons.
Mr Abe can hardly be surprised by the ferocity of the reaction, or the way the Yasukuni visit is being used to stir up anti-Japanese sentiment.
Since returning to office, Mr Abe has left no doubt about his strident nationalism and belief that the trials which convicted Japan's wartime leaders were "victor's justice". He is determined to achieve revision of Japan's post-war "peace constitution" so it can rearm itself and counter China's growing regional military power.
He has won support for these moves, even from countries that suffered previously from Japanese militarism. That backing is unlikely to be sustained if Mr Abe is seen to be deliberately provoking aggression. The crisis in East Asia needs cool heads.
More provocation is not the answer. Mr Abe's allies, including Australia, must leave him in no doubt about the need to act more responsibly. His Yasukuni visit was not helpful.
