Rodong Sinmun says this in a bylined article today. It goes on: On the plea of "support" to the U.S. in "combating terrorism" the Japanese reactionaries are trying to realise the overseas dispatch of the "self-defence forces" and pave the way for a war of aggression by law so as to take the road of overseas military aggression. Japan's theatre of military operations spread from the region surrounding Japan to any part of the world under the "anti-terrorism special law" adopted on October 29 last year. Japan is the second biggest country, after the U.S. in terms of military expenditures. It is ready to turn the "SDF" into a one million-strong army at a time in the "event of contingency." The Japanese cabinet approved the military budget for fiscal 2002 amounting to 4,950 billion yen (in Japanese currency) and has put spurs to the modernization of military equipment. Japan's efforts for the militarisation of space and large-scale military maneuvers are a clear proof of a dangerous entity of the Japanese militarists who try to turn Japan into a military power and seek overseas aggression. With a view to putting down the anti-war forces the Japanese militarists work hard to create an atmosphere of terror in the society and spearhead the fascist suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan and the Japanese people. Korea is the first target of Japan's overseas aggression. Japan intends to take the road of a war for re-conquest by participating in another Korean war to be provoked by the U.S. imperialists and cooperating with them in the war. The "law on emergency in the areas surrounding Japan" rigged up by Japan to participate in a joint operation with the U.S. is aimed at coping with the "event of contingency" on the Korean peninsula. The Japanese reactionaries who are watching for a chance for the reconquest of Korea are trying to expand aggression to Asia with Korea as a springboard. If Japan takes the road of a war for reconquest, ignoring the lesson of history and the changed realities, it will suffer a more miserable defeat than in the past. Then it will not emerge again in the world. _________________________________________________ ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9WB2D Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
