Miracles on the Oceans
(Des miracles sur les océans)
The four past mountainous empires, the Spanish Empire, the British Empire, and the Empire of Japan once all prided themselves on their mighty Navies and dauntless fleets on great oceans of each dominant Age.
Now, the United States of America with imperial power has dominated the global oceans.
Yet, as I once warned, a supply vessel and an escort vessel of the Maritime Defense Forces of Japan completed its time-limited mission on the Indian Ocean to feed fuels and water to naval ships of the U.S., Pakistan, and so on for free.
They returned to home ports in Japan recently, though former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe had promised President George Bush to continue the mission, which unfortunately turned out to be one of significant burdens for the health of the then prime minister due to strong opposition from the opposition parties occupying a majority in the Upper House of the Japanese Parliament.
If incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda succeeds to pass a low to resume the mission in the Indian Ocean, will Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan appreciate it?
Won't it be Japan's another commitment to the possible armed conflict between the U.S. and Iran, as the Indian Ocean is just off the coast of Iran?
US citizens as well as Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan should communicate their standpoints to the Japanese Government, since they are vessels of the Maritime Defense Forces of Japan.

(Muslims and Israelites work on Sundays like Jesus Christ, don't they?
It is not a shame at all for you to work even [on the Indian ocean] on Sundays, is it?)
Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
