How Can We Stop Rashing into a War?

Yesterday we had a lot of snowfall and it was clear today. The blue sky and snow covered field was beautiful. Our grandsons were so happy to enjoy sleding and making a snow cave. They had special snack and hot chocolate in the cave! In cities snow causes a lot of troubles but it is a big gift for children.
　Every first Friday of a month we do some acttion against nukes. Last Friday evening we stood at a busy cossroads in Saku city with banners or lanterns. In front of the Diet building in Tokyo, people demonstrat agsinst nukes every Friday evening.. On February 11th we are going to have a meeting about nuclear plants, peace and Okinawa, and the constitution of Japan.
These kind of big and small meetings and actions are held all over Japan every week and every month now and it is defferent from Japan three years ago. It is because people think Japan is on the verge of a crisis, I think.

We Japan has never killed anyone in the war for almost seven decades, because our constitution prohibits the government of Japan from going into wars. It is a great thing, isn't it? But LDP and its government has long wanted to change the constitution and become an armed nation. We have been struggling to stop it.

Abe is extreme right wing and he has no repentance for the millitalism of Japan that drove people to the war and make people not only in Japan but also in Asia suffer misery and cruelty of the war. He doesn't admit that Japan did wrong to the other Asian countries, and even hates China and Korea. He wants to make Japan a nation of millitalism that looks strong. His government seems to ignore the voices of the protesters completely. They just listen to the voices they want to hear, and appoint only those people of the same ideas as theirs or those who flatter them for important and influential posts like NHK, Japan's public broadcasting/ telecasting association.

We fear Abe might really go into war with neighboring country. The situation around Japan is so tense, and it looks Abe has no intention to avoid the war. The government and LDP are arrogant because they have power now.

Oh, I always complaining the same. I'm sorry. But could you help us not to raise another fire of war?

I really appreciate the statement about the new US base in Okinawa undersigned by more than one hundred named people. What a big encouragement for the people struggling. You can join undersigning on the internet.
