The Washington Post
Shinzo Abe and the Japan of World War II Wednesday, October 4, 2006; A24 The Sept. 25 editorial "Japan's Future -- and Past" criticized former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi and his successor, Shinzo Abe, claiming that Japan's right wing has made the error of glossing over the country's war guilt. The criticism lacks foundation in fact. The government of Japan has acknowledged that Japan, through its colonial rule and aggression, caused tremendous damage and suffering to the people of many countries, particularly those of Asian nations. Mr. Koizumi officially stated this position both at home and abroad based on a cabinet resolution. Mr. Abe has clearly stated that he has no intention of changing this acknowledgment. Further, Mr. Abe has made it clear publicly on a number of occasions -- including in a forum of Japan's parliament -- that Japan fully accepts the judgments of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and is in no position to object to those judgments. The editorial's statement that "he seems likely to dilute Japan's pacifism further" is based on speculation and is certain to mislead your readers. Mr. Abe's position should be abundantly clear from his own words before parliament: "Amid the progress our country has made since 1945, we have painfully reflected over the past war to make Japan a peaceful country, and have worked hard for its stability and prosperity. We have built a free and democratic Japan. I am proud that the Japan we have created protects basic human rights and is contributing to peace in the international society." Although it is true that Japan's response to historical issues has provoked dissatisfaction and criticism from neighboring countries, the view that these countries are playing the "history card" also deserves attention.
