"Forgive Men their Trespasses"
(Around the Tokyo Bay)
"Forgive Men their Trespasses"
Late last night, a TV news program in Japan presented a nameless patient dying in an emergency room in a hospital in Okinawa.
(He looked like having been rushed to the hospital after a car accident.)
His pulse stopped, but the heart started to move again owing to hard work by medical staff who tried to make the patient alive until his family in a hurry arrived there.
Finally, the functioning of his heart and lungs stopped while his wife and daughter were watching him with a medical doctor.
The doctor compassionately declared, bowing his head, "He just now died."
Every legal procedure thereafter would be based on this time of death.
It is very rare for a man to be presented in a national TV broadcast at the moment of his death, even if just lying on a bed in an ER room.
Now, we have heard other news reports that one person died of the swine flu in England, and one person was shot and killed on the street of Tehran, Iran, while the half-deserting eldest son of N. Korea's top leader Mr. Kim Jong-il escaped an assassination attempt by N. Korea's secret agents in Macao or somewhere around China.
SECTION I: THE SWINE INFLUENZA
There must be a reason that the swine influ must emerge from Mexico, an adjacent country to the super-rich nation the U.S.

Mexico's Drug-Related Violence

Drug-related violence in Mexico has spiked in recent years as drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) have competed for control of smuggling routes into the United States...
By the late 1990s, Mexican DTOs had pushed aside the Colombians and gained greater control and market share of cocaine trafficking into the United States. Mexican DTOs now dominate the wholesale illicit market in the United States...
Using as a base the Mexican Attorney General’s statistics of more than 5,600 killed in drug trafficking violence in 2008, this represented a 110% increase over 2007. Among those murdered were 522 Mexican military and law enforcement officials according to recent testimony of the U.S. Department of State. In the first two months of 2009, the violence grew with almost 1,000 drug-related killings in Mexico or 146% more than in the comparable period in 2008. According to the same publication, the 1000th murder in 2008 did not take place until April 22(compared to February in 2009), suggesting the pace of killings have continued to rise rapidly. (See Figure 3, for the tally of drug killings 2006-2008).

Look at South Korea and Taiwan, the two major adjacent countries of Japan. They have been under a strong influence of Japan since Japan became the second largest economy in the world. Today, Taiwan and S. Korea are highly respected in the world as well civilized countries.
China's success totally depends on Japan's past aid and investments. Russia's integrity was also preserved through its hard time after the debacle of the USSR, owing to peace with Japan.
Even North Korea could pull through its most dangerous period of the food-supply crisis in 1990's, owing to peace with Japan that allowed for transfer of a great amount of money from North Korean residents in Japan.
In short, being a neighbor country to the U.S. is a hidden factor of the breaking out of the swine influenza in Mexico.
SECTION II: IRAN
The recent presidential election in Iran has been widely reported in Japan.
There have been many Iranians in Japan, especially in 1990's, since Japan has had a diplomatic tie with Iran but the U.S. has not.
However, some Iranians were not good for the Japanese people. Even a secret agent from Iran killed a Japanese translator of a very controversial book on Islam in campus of a university in Japan in 1991.
(To be continued...)
(La vie est comme aller et venir à la maison, mon chéri. You do not have to feel any sorry for my death, since I am not sorry for my possible death at all, dear. It is death of enemies of the God and Allah that I am sorry for, dear.

Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
