Playing with Nuclear Bombs

Playing with Nuclear Bombs


Some still lack basic information, though they are very much interested in success or failure in North Korea's nuclear bomb test.

North Korea has the largest iron mine in East Asia.

North Korea has the largest cupper mine deposit in Asia.

North Korea has uranium mines.

Japan has receivable worth US$ 800 million yet to be recovered from North Korea.
+ + +

If North Korea conducts a nuclear test, it is not to be conducted under a desert like the one in the U.S., India, or Pakistan.

It would be probably conducted deep in an old but very huge mine.

They will never conduct it on the surface of the Sea of Japan.
+ + +

What someone is doing stealthily or conspicuously I do not mind for his sake.

Or are you so coarse trying to play with someone playing with nuclear bombs?

Freedom of Press for World Ranking

Freedom of Press for World Ranking


I just can't believe.

I just can't believe this.

I just can't believe this information.

I just can't believe this information provided by a Japanese researcher.

I just can't believe this information provided by a Japanese researcher on freedom of press in each country of the world.

It is because Japan is ranked so low in terms of degree of freedom of press, though it is the number one among nonwhite or non-Christian countries.

Check if you can believe it or not by getting access to Economic and Social Dataranking at http://dataranking.com/English/go06-1.html.
+ + +

I heard that a female Russian journalist was killed in Moscow. It was well reported in Japan. And the Chechen war she reportedly had exhaustively covered has been also somehow well reported in Japan.

Anna Politkovskaya became one of 23 journalists killed in Russia between 1996 and 2005, which might tell why there is no data on Russia to be used for the ranking.
+ + +

Freedom of press is based on belief in the innate goodness of man.

Jesus Christ, however, says that none is good.

Minding His words might nonetheless make a man a little improved.

Nuclear Bomb Test in the Summer of 2008?

Nuclear Bomb Test in the Summer of 2008?


Many people say that North Korea failed in its first nuclear test.

Data, information, findings, and theories on the test seem to be far from being reached consensus on, so far.

One alarming thing is swift decision and action of the Japanese Government in taking punitive measures against North Korea.

One remarkable thing is the emphasis in the address by President George W. Bush on corporation of China being highly expected .

One thing to be especially noted is that China is to hold Summer Olympic Games in Beijin in 2008.

You should be also reminded of the next Secretary-General of the United Nations being a South Korean.
+ + +

If North Korea makes other nuclear bomb test in the summer of 2008, I wonder how the U.S., Japan, China, and South Korea should respond.

The matter should be properly addressed and orderly resolved now, not in 2008.
+ + +

North Korea is a far more autocratic state than Iraq under Saddam Hussein's regime.

Majority of its people are extremely poor and have no freedom, but are destined to be helplessly killed if a war erupts with or without nuclear weapons.

Under this circumstance, decision makers in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, and Russia would be held liable, if any failures in addressing the issue happen.

Therefore, if you are not involved in administrations of those governments responsible, you may be a little lucky.
+ + +

But, do you think that North Korea actually failed in its first nuclear test, luckily for us?

And why? It is because they are just fools?

Fools cannot maintain a nation for more than half a century amid the international powers including the U.S., Japan, Russia, and China.

There cannot be such a fool in this world, which is mankind.

If there is, it is a bigger shame on mankind than inability to correct North Korea.

Atomic Bomb Blasted by North Korea

Atomic Bomb Blasted by North Korea


A young scientist of the University of Tokyo, specializing in seismology, said the level of the nuclear bomb North Korea tried yesterday seems to be a Nagasaki Atomic-Bomb class.

The magnitude of an earthquake triggered by the nuclear test was reportedly about 4.9 as observed at a certain location in Japan, though it was about 3.6 in South Korea.

There are still many arguments and speculations about the size of the bomb and its conclusion, namely, even whether it was successful or not.
+ + +

Everybody wants to get big money.

No one wants to die before getting rich and richer.

So, no one in the U.S. is interested in nuclear bombs which would eventually turn to be a fatal means, if used for making money in whatever mean, to all involved.

But, North Korea is different.
+ + +

My appeal is that the U.S. Government and the United Nations allocate a certain amount of budget for dealing with this problem.

With that amount observed by North Korea, they may get serious in considering a change in their strategy.

Failures of the U.S. and the U.N. in dealing with other problems have really cost billions of dollars while sacrificing so many innocent lives.
+ + +

Too many have been killed since September 11, 2001.

It is time to consider saving lives in ongoing and potential war zones including Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Korea.
+ + +

I did not feel a tremor the nuclear test in North Korea caused yesterday.

But, I saw someone who looked like an ancient messenger reborn scuttling and passing by me in the morning.

And, one of my electronic gears got out of tune, a happening very rare, that is perhaps once-a-decade thing.

Did you get any inkling at all on that?

The Longest Economic Expansion in Japan

The Longest Economic Expansion in Japan


The Japanese economy has been expanding to date since February 2002.

It is the longest upward business trend after WWII.

Indeed, more university graduates are receiving informal job offers than in previous years.

An increase in the number of those who commit suicide due to bankruptcy or get homeless seems to be also halted.
+ + +

The population of 120 million seems not to worry about anything serious for future of the world.

Nonetheless, I think it is time for the Japanese to worry about future of the world.

Just like Americans who should worry about how to complete or simply terminate the War on Terror, the Japanese should worry about how they can maintain and enhance this level of peace domestically and on the interface to the world.

Yet, I hope that you have logically and personally nothing to worry about.

South Korea vs. North Korea

South Korea vs. North Korea


Next U.N. Secretary General is expected be a South Korean.

Could North Korean leaders feel happy together with South Koreans?

North Korea's announcement that it plans to launch a nuclear bomb test seems to be telling their feeling.
+ + +

However, no matter how jealousy you might be, though such a feeling might be very common in politics, you should not resort to nuclear weapons.
+ + +

Japan will help North Korea get developed as much as South Korea is, so long as North Korea abandons its nuclear/missile development plans and its abominable policy to keep Japanese abductees still in its hand.

Japan will also support an idea to keep U.S. forces as far as possible from the border between China and North Korea, regardless of their future status, that is, unified Korea or coexistence of two Koreas.
+ + +

Both Koreas were last year against an idea that Japan takes up a seat of permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

Such selfish antagonism could indeed result in very incongruous happenings.

As a matter of fact, when I loose goodness, I often make a selfish decision, too.

Underground Economy vs. Gross Domestic Product

Underground Economy vs. Gross Domestic Product


As of 2003, the size of underground economy of each country, in comparison with its nominal GDP, is as follows:
Italy............26.2%
Spain..........22.3%
Belgium......21.5%
Sweden........18.7%
Denmark......17.5%
Germany......16.8%
Canada.........15.4%
France.........14.8%
Holland........12.8%
England........12.3%
...
Australia.....10.8%
Swiss...........9.5%
U.S...............8.6%
...
Japan..........4.3%
+ + +

Applying the same appraisal method to each region of the world, the following average percentage as of 2000 was obtained:
OECD Member Countries........16.8%
Africa...................................41.0%
Central/South America........41.0%
Asia.....................................29.0%
+ + +

They do not call those involved in the underground economy "terrorists."

I do not call them, either, yet.

But, how about it for you?

And, what about a mind of our benign Lord?

A Film on Afghanistan Needing Great Help

A Film on Afghanistan Needing Great Help


I saw the movie "At Five in the Afternoon," an Iranian film released in 2003, which depicts one poor family in Afghanistan.

I saw it today.
+ + +

Unbelievable mountains without tress and unthinkable fields without grass are really catching my eye.

A devastated and desolate palace on a barren hill surrounded by a sea of sand is, too, a wonder.

Old people who talk humane sense taking a slightly-monotonous poetic rhythm look so painful inwardly and outwardly, yet reflecting a deep social, traditional, cultural, and religious background
+ + +

U.S. helicopters were flying over a path on the barren land ; and the poor family, consisting of an old man, his daughter, her dying and eventually dead baby, and his dead son's wife as well as a tired horse and chickens, met a traveling older man whose donkey was dying and lying on the path.

The older man, himself collapsing, said, "My village was destroyed. Nothing was left. I want to get to Kandahar to see Mullah Omar. Bin Laden is our guest and a Muslim."

The chief of the poor family said, "You had better go back where you are from," digging a shallow pit on the ground with a big stone to burry his now-dead grandbaby.

The traveling old man sitting beside his dying donkey said, "My village was destroyed. Nothing was left. And nobody shows me the way."

While they were talking and the dead grandbaby was being laid down into a small, sandy grave, two young women were walking to a hill side where they could get the failed horse some water, as the old man told them to do so.
+ + +

The heroine of the story is the old man's daughter in law.

She attended a makeshift school in Kabul, while the family was wandering from place to place, and just wanted to change the world by becoming a politician.

She even asked a French soldier, patrolling around the ruined palace where the family happened to take shelter, how the president of France addressed to his people.
+ + +

Afghanistan had been a decent agricultural country since the Middle Age till the invasion by the Soviet Union in the late 20th century.

Decades of wars destroyed the entire country; but Islam has remained. People have been deprived of various hopes, but still have new dreams like the heroine has. Someday, a female president might be inaugurated in Afghanistan.
+ + +

If Afghanistan is saved, Iran then will be.

In fact, as some part of Iraq gets so dangerous, Iran may turn to a focal point of international security. But, so far, an Iranian film maker has set a focus on people not a war.
+ + +

On September 11, 2001, leaders of Al-Qaeda stationed in Afghanistan were waiting for a specific report on the United States to be attacked on the very day.

Since then, in the wake of various subsequent incidents, many, many people have been victimized.

But, I am one who has survived to this day just like you.

A film on Afghanistan has really reminded me of the grace the Lord has given me so that I can observe the proceeding of the world with a living mind.

But, for what?

And, for what for you?

Punishment for Popularity

Punishment for Popularity


Yesterday, a new cabinet was formed in Japan.

One remarkable aspect is that they intended to reinforce functions of aids to the prime minister.

Their purpose is to introduce a strong team of professional assistants to the prime minister office like the one in the White House.

My impression is that such a move seems to be aimed at gaining popularity among the people rather than truly enhancing functions of the Japanese Government.

Four of five aids to the prime minister, who have been newly appointed, are incumbent members of the Diet (parliament). They are more politicians than professionals. They might also work for gaining their own popularity.
+ + +

Democracy gives politicians and their party an incentive of using anything for enhancing their popularity and securing plurality voting.

A politician might even use a war for such a purpose.

It is truly an outrageous act if a war is so used.
+ + +

If you are a politician and are not involved in such movement for gaining popularity of a government through using something serious and critical like a war, you must be lucky, since such an act might be punished.

To begin with, what a politician needs is love for people but not popularity among the people their false love for people might gain.

New Prime Minister

New Prime Minister

Now, Japan's House of Representatives has nominated its new prime minister: Mr. Shinzo Abe.

Japan's Upper House is following suit.

After completion of the nomination by the Diet (Parliament), the emperor of Japan is to authorize it.
+ + +

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) the new prime minister belongs to has support ratings of 38.2%, 30.0%, and 35.0% in previous three national elections, respectively.

Therefore LDP forms an alliance with New Komeito to form a government.
+ + +

One prime minister alone cannot surely make the nation great and successful, while Japan has 120 million population.

Japan's 68 million voters, who actually cast their vote in the previous general election held on September 11, 2005, have a key to future peace and prosperity of Japan, Asia, and the word.
+ + +

Astonishingly, there are no expressions directly concerned with democracy and election in Jesus Christ's words.

Relationship between mankind and God is not based on democracy supported by an election system.

The idea of democracy and an election system is however seems to be permitted by God or Allah.

Japanese Rocket Launches Sun-Probing Satellite

Japanese Rocket Launches Sun-Probing Satellite


BBC has reported on Japan's scientific satellite launching for studying the sun (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5371162.stm).

The sun is a critical energy source of life on the earth.

But, though it happens in rare cases, the sun emits extraordinary energy to the surrounding space and eventually to the earth, which could destroy normal functioning of human-made electronic systems including artificial satellites flying around the earth.

If such an extraordinary phenomenon happens like it did in 1859, modern societies on the globe will suffer major damages.
+ + +

A type of rocket used to launch the Japan's sun-observation satellite is M5.

The M5 rockets have been launched seven times with one failure. This is its last mission, since Japan has already decided to stop using the M5 rockets due to high costs needed for launching it.

Apart from the M5, Japan has the flag-ship rocket H2A the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has already launched ten times and will continue to use.

The H2A rocket is 53-meter long and has a weight of 289 tons.
+ + +

The gigantic flares on the sun that emerged in 1859 really heralded the beginning of a new era poor slaves in the U.S. then might have truly wished.

It also became ominous for the feudal samurai regime in Japan, too.

When the sun emits an enormous amount of unusual electro-magnetic energy to the earth next time, we might know that a new era is inevitably coming.
+ + +

Japanese scientists like to study the sun.

The Japanese people like an image that the sun is rising from the east horizon, since their comparatively long and thin national land faces the Pacific Ocean eastward.

Therefore, it is natural that an image of the sun is adopted into their national flag.

When you see, in Japan, the sun coming up in the morning over the Pacific Ocean, it looks red, eradiating red arrows of light to all directions of surrounding air of the sky so blue and far; it does not look yellow or white at all.

Nothing is so inspiring as the rising sun in the morning for most Japanese.
+ + +

No matter how rich and powerful you might be on the earth, you cannot buy the sun.

And I remember the word of Buddha: "Fools are they who accumulate wealth and die."

Yes, everybody should die poor under the sun as he or she was so born under the sun.

Whether Jesus Christ is God or Not

Whether Jesus Christ is God or Not



I am not so interested in what the Pope thinks, says, and does.

As he claims that he is directly linked to Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ only would mind him.

If I mind the Pope, it might be regarded, I am afraid, as an irreverent behavior by angels.
+ + +

In Koran:
Verse 4:171 - "People of the Book, do not transgress the bounds of your religion. Speak nothing but the truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was no more than Allah's apostle and His Word which He cast to Mary: a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His apostles and do not say: "Three.' Forbear, and it shall be better for you. Allah is but one God. Allah forbid that He should have a son!"

As Islam has prevailed so long, so profoundly, and so vastly, God seems to surely support the above verse meaning Jesus Christ is not God.
+ + +

To discuss this matter is very difficult; and thus even when they really begin to act being motivated by this matter, as it is very difficult to explain a motivation of their act based on this matter, they seem to tend to use other excuse, for example, concerning politics or economics.

But, I think people should focus on this matter: Whether Jesus Christ is God or not for mankind, including Israelites, Christians, and Muslims.
+ + +

My assumption is that first of all we have to be humble admitting that Logic of God and Holy Truth are different from human logic and human-recognizable truth.

If we get more pious, the scope of our logic and recognizable truth would expand as far to the extent where we can comprehend the whole scheme of the question, "Is Jesus Christ God or not for mankind, including Israelites, Christians, and Muslims?"
+ + +

Will God, one day, appear on every TV screen all over the world and say, "I am also Jesus Christ and I, too, authorize the idea that Jesus Christ is not God"?

Or will God send another angel to us who do not mind whether Jesus Christ is God or not, and let the angel say to us that we may neglect the Bible and the Koran but we must obey Him?

I will obey Him.

The World Bank and Child Soldiers

The World Bank and Child Soldiers


It was reported in Japan that the World Bank has issued a report on child soldiers in the world.

There are some 300,000 soldiers under the age 18 who are now, or have until recently been, engaged in a battle, accounting for 10 percent of all the soldiers in battle fields.

In addition, there are 500,000 child soldiers being recruited in 50 countries all over the world.

They become soldiers due to poverty or coercion, or as a victim of abduction.
+ + +

According to The World Revolution (http://www.worldrevolution.org/), "because of their immaturity and lack of experience, child soldiers suffer higher casualties than their adult counterparts."
+ + +

If child soldiers are allowed to claim financial support for their education and rehabilitation costing, say, US$10,000 per capita, the world should raise 8 billion dollars.

The World Bank, consisting of International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and International Development Association (IDA), furnished anew in 2005 many countries for their development projects with funds of 13.6 billion dollars and similarly approved loans worth 8.7 billion dollars.

It seems very possible and reasonable that the World Bank rescues and helps those child soldiers with their financial capacity.
+ + +

If you are asked by an angel what the most deplorable issue is on the earth, you should answer that it is existence of child soldiers.

If I am, I would answer so.

Mystery of Blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) Solved

Mystery of Blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) Solved


Everyone apparently wants to use a DVD player for fun or any needs. A key technology in such an electronic device is a blue light emitting diode (LED).

The market size of the blue LEDs is expected to reach US$10 billion in 2008.

Though this LED was invented in a Japanese company, nobody including those involved in this development knew why the blue LED is possible until recently.
+ + +

The very small lamp, without a bubble and a filament, called an LED has been common in industry for decades due to development of the semiconductor technology.

But, not all types of color were possible with this man-made light emitter. The color of red, green, and so on could be easily realized and their basic theory was well understood. But, it has not been the case with the color blue, though even the blue LED was invented through serious efforts of those involved in this development in a Japanese company.
+ + +

The problem on the blue LED is that a material that emits the blue color has a million times as many structural defects inside as other material for any other color.

With such a great number of structural defects at a level of atoms, it has been thought to be impossible that such a material could emit any light at all; However, it does excellently providing a long-awaited blue light for human beings.

This mystery was recently solved by Japanese researchers.

The material Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) has a specific local and minuscule structure where holes, each carrying a positive charge, are effectively trapped so that their energy is converted to light instead of heat.
+ + +

There are two lessons to be learnt here:
First, a defect or a drawback sometimes hides a merit or an asset for a big success.

Secondly, a lucky man who succeeded without knowing why he made it can only find the underlying reason with a help from others so excellent and sympathetic.

Is a war to protect a nation forbidden by God?

No, it is not; however, God ordered mankind not to kill other humans.

Where is this War on Terror going while making the rich richer and the poor poorer?

It is going to the 22nd century when no more crude oil production is expected and alternative high-technology-based energy may be only in hands of certain leading countries.

AK47 vs. M-16

AK47 vs. M-16


Last night, the Japanese Public TV station, NHK, presented a now-classic movie of Michael Moore, "Bowling for Columbine."

The night before, they broadcast the "Killing Field" featuring the Cambodian genocide that happened between 1975 and 1979 reportedly sacrificing almost 1.7 million people.

It was an era that nobody possessed a personal computer and a cellular phone as well as access to the Internet. However, they all used AK47 assault rifles just like today in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine.

Mr. Moore was against fire-arm selling in the United States. Somebody should be really against AK47 automatic-rifle selling in the world.
+ + +

Children in the United States, in a very rare case, spontaneously kill their classmates with a handgun or a smart sub-machinegun. But, children in Cambodia 30 years ago, equipped with AK47s, were compulsively and daily killing their family members, neighbors, teachers, and spies of America and Vietnam or those so regarded.

Compared with this tragedy in Cambodia 30 years ago, put extremely, America and Al-Qaeda today look like classmates just on interim bad terms.

Indeed, 1.7 million innocent Cambodians who would rather love French and American culture were massacred by the Pol Pot faction strongly influenced by some Chinese communists in the era of the Cold War and the Great Cultural Revolution.
+ + +

Just before the U.S. invasion in 2003, Iraq was predicted to become another Vietnam of 1960's and early 70's.

Cambodia is near to China, Vietnam, and Thai. Various influences and arms could be easily brought to the country.

Iraq is surrounded by other Islamic nations and also near to Russia. Various influences and arms can be easily brought to the country.
+ + +

The U.S. failed in the Indochina Peninsula not because they fought the Vietnam War but because they supported the Pol Pot faction sharing fear and hatred of Vietnam.

Even the Japanese Government then, sharing interests with the U.S., officially recognized the Pol Pot regime!

(In 1993, the International Committee on the Reconstruction of Cambodia [ICORC] was held in Paris in which Japan acted as the chair and offered 20 million dollar aids.)
+ + +

The supreme leader of the Pol Pot faction died in 1998 reportedly of a disease. The scene was televised all over the world then, in which a Thai officer entering a humble cottage in a jungle got a fingerprint from the dead man, Pol Pot or correctly Saloth Sar who had parents of a Cambodian and a Chinese.
+ + +

Al Qaeda should stop using AK47s. They should learn a lesson from the Killing Filed and the death of Pol Pot eight years ago.

All the people living in the Persian Gulf region should stop using AK47s. They should learn a lesson from the Killing Filed and the death of Pol Pot eight years ago.
+ + +

I do not like the rifle AK47. It looks ominous. The shape of the rifle itself is almost ugly in my eyes.

I do not think Allah would be rejoiced to see his people equipped with such a pagan weapon.
+ + +

Yes, the M-16s were also common in Cambodia and Vietnam 30 years ago.

It is not very pleasant to observe that a U.S. soldier today in Iraq, equipped with a new version of M-16, still has to face a fatal danger just like the one in 30 years ago in Vietnam.

Vietnamese Saved a Japanese in New Orleans in 2005

Vietnamese Saved a Japanese in New Orleans in 2005



According to The Yomiuri Shimbun Newspaper, Vietnamese saved a Japanese young musician in New Orleans during the crisis the hurricane Katrina had caused.

The Japanese young man was then living in the southern city to make a career of music while learning the music unique to New Orleans.

In the turmoil of the hurricane disaster, he felt an acute danger in being alone at a shelter of a big dome where a mass of poor people were crammed.

Some evacuees were attacking others who were believed to have violated children. But when it was found that they got wrong men who were, by then, beaten almost to death, those evacuees claiming justice were not sorry at all for the innocent victims they had attacked.

The Japanese youth struggled to find any other Japanese, but in vain.

However, he could luckily spot a group of Vietnamese who kindly welcomed him into their circle.

Accordingly, the Japanese young man got safety and was later evacuated by helicopter.

He then returned to his hometown in Japan: a south-west city somehow showing a resemblance, in atmosphere, to New Orleans in his feeling.

Now, he is in New Orleans again to pursue his dream in music.

And he reportedly is happy again being surrounded by friendly people, though they are not necessarily Vietnamese.

Recently, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the world largest wooden temple burnt down.

Just prior to this fire accident, a Japanese fisherman on board was shot dead by a Russian maritime security guard on a controversial sea area due to a border dispute between Japan and Russia.

Recently, in Georgia, the U.S., an ex-marine committed suicide after killing a female student.

In 1995, he violated a Japanese girl in Okinawa where he was stationed, which became a big social issue linked to the security partnership of Japan and the United States.

Has justice been done?

No matter what they might take, I have surely received these reports.

Courageous Lawyers Attacked, History Distorted, and Respect Lost in China and the Middle East

Courageous Lawyers Attacked, History Distorted, and Respect Lost in China and the Middle East



Popular revolts, though without much exchange of fire, are reportedly common in China, according to The Yomiuri Shimbun Newspaper.

Last year they had about 87,000 cases of riots mainly by farmers and local people in China.

There are, of course, some lawyers who help those insurgents, innocent, humble, and victimized by local, rotten authorities, even under the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party.

But some of those courageous lawyers have been arrested one after the other by Chinese law enforcement agencies.

However, nobody in the U.S., Europe, and Japan seems to take it seriously. Stable China under whatever regime seems to be welcomed by governments, businesses, and international bodies in those triple-pole advanced regions.

And, it is most likely that the incumbent regime in China would manage the nation, avoiding an upheaval or a civil war, according to their views.

However, I don't think it should be necessarily so.
+ + +

First of all, nobody in the U.S. and Europe has realized a critical issue about China.

China has distorted history, teaching it in its schools.

(For example, the Chinese Communist Party has only a history of just 60 years as the highest governing body of China, outside of which they cannot be a good teacher of history. Any 60-year-old regime should not handle its 4000-year history at its discretion.)

Second, nobody in the U.S. and Europe has realized an inevitable course of Chinese history: repeatedly experienced periods of ebb and flow of the power or dynasty.

Leaders as well as the people of contemporary China have all that kind of DNA.

Further, their official attitude to Japan is without decorum and propriety, which should alienate God's support for their development and success.
+ + +

If you like or dislike China, it cannot enjoy its present state without decades of supports and aids from Japan since normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China in early 1970's.

Without Japan's tremendous backups, Chinese youths now enjoying a nice living standard should be working today in a real sweat somewhere in a very local area as part of their mandatory service to the Party which should be in a state of quasi-war with the U.S., Russia, Viet Nam, and Japan.
+ + +

It is very dangerous to think that you can understand China while you cannot read Chinese characters or Japanese kanji letters.

And under the regime of the Chinese Communist Party, you can only get very-biased textbooks imported from China.

You had better learn Japanese in order to correctly learn Chinese works of art, history, literature, and social and business documents.
+ + +

Americans are buying, in a Wal-Mart shop, commodities made in China, because they have quality that can satisfy American consumers. But it is Japanese who have helped Chinese acquire ability to realize that level of industrial quality.

And quality of Japanese industrial products is rooted deep in the tradition of Japanese culture that began in an era of thousand years ago which called the Jomon period.
+ + +

Just like things now happening in the Middle East, if you forget respect to older culture of your own or others, nothing goes and works well.

Jerusalem or Sightseeing?

Jerusalem or Sightseeing?

[Updated in February 2012]

I heard that the warfare was stopped in the area between Israel and Lebanon.

What worried me is that majority of Israelis are reportedly still worried about Hezbollah's ability being left with considerable potential to attack Israel.

The United Nations should therefore send and station many troops from many countries to and at the area of warfare.

Some 40 troops of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force have been stationed at the Golan Heights as part of the 1000-man U.N. Disengagement Observer Force since February 1996.

It is said that some troops heard bombshells being landed in nearby place during the warfare, though there are no casualties as they could well hide themselves in bombproof shelters.

The solution is that countries in the world should join the peace keeping force under the authority of the United Nations.

And they send as many troops as possible to Palestine.

It means all the people in the world are coming to the Holy Land.

It is just like God is inviting all the people to Palestine where once Jesus Christ lived and traveled.

Judaists were not safe living among Russians.

They were not safe living among Poles and Germans.

They are not yet safe among themselves in Palestine.

But, they have been safe in the United States among Americans who consist of people of various origins.

Therefore, Judaists can be safe among many nationalities in the U.N. PKF uniform in Palestine.

Judaists should live in place where various people and tribes live for their safety and security.

Perhaps it is right unless they have heard a commandment of their God: "Return to Jerusalem!"

The issue is that if the Diaspora was the will of God and He has not changed His mind yet, Judaists' return to Jerusalem might not be safe at all.

What is the will of God about Judaists, Palestine and the nation of Israel in the 21st century?

Has He ordered all the peoples in the world to let His people live in peace in Palestine?

Hasn't anybody heard His voice?

If we are all abandoned by God, it is no use of taking any measures to protect Israel.

By the way, I still wonder why Jesus Christ did not mention anything about the Pyramids, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Dead Sea while He was preaching in Palestine 2000 years ago.

He only made mention of Jerusalem.

People should go to Jerusalem, but not to any sightseeing areas.

Do not go to any sightseeing areas.

You don not know? ; They have been just fighting in Palestine.
