Japanese Militarists' Farce under Fire
KCNA
Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- The Japanese prime minister visited the Cemetery of War Dead and then attended a national memorial service for the war dead on August 15. Timed to coincide with this, officials of the Koizumi Cabinet and Dietmen officially visited the "Yasukuni Shrine". Minju Joson today in a signed commentary dismisses this as a burlesque of those who dream of the revival of militarism, obsessed with it.
The commentary goes on:
Lurking behind this is the Japanese reactionaries' yearning for their crime-woven past history and their lingering desire to repeat it.
The Japanese reactionaries' moves to repeat the above-said history have entered a very serious phase.
They are contemplating dispatching a huge contingent of the "Self-Defense Forces" overseas under the pretext of "anti-terrorism war" and "international peace-keeping operation." And they are working hard to replace the "Peace Constitution," which they have so far maintained though ostensibly, by "War Constitution." The recent farce was a premeditated one as it was orchestrated against this background.
Through this the Japanese reactionaries seek to stoke the hysteria of militarism mounting in Japan and thus realize their ambition for overseas expansion.
The Japanese reactionaries' attempt to repeat the past, instead of coming out to redeem it is a blatant challenge and mockery of the world justice and conscience.
The Japanese reactionaries are well advised to drop their foolish and anachronistic ambition for launching overseas expansion as it may bring disaster and misfortune to humankind again. If they persist in their moves to repeat the past history, instead of making sincere efforts to redeem it, that will only precipitate their self-destruction.
