Japan: Too Pathetic A Nation

Let me talk to you today about a pathetic nation. How do you address the nation? we call her by the name

of Japan. Yea, the nation is called Japan, or Nippon, which means the Nation of the Rising Sun. Alas, the

sun of the nation is not rising, but seems to be sinking... What has she done? What has happened?

Has she turned senile or something? Has she turned into senile dementia? Has she gone berserk?







Why do you say that anyway? Is there any decisive evidence? Because she has out of the blue started

showing the confusion in the sense and sensibilities about things and people. In concrete terms, she seems

to suffer the lack of the sense of things that which belongs to whom, or who owns what...







Of course, there has been some casual tendency of territorial greed on the part of Japan. She has

from time to time claimed a territorial right about the Tokdo (pronounced dokedoe) Island, which has

been a Korean territory on the grounds of historical documents, geographical contiguity and long

physical domination.







The groundless claim has long been denied by the Korean government and its people and there has

been no concrete action, though, on the part of Japan to materialize its assertions. But oops the Japanese

Ministry of Education has out of the blue issued directives for the publishers of the school textbooks to

print the territorial rights about the Tokdo Island.







Too bad. What a pathetic nation! It's a sad thing to know that another comeuppance is coming to Japan.

It's saddening our hearts that one of our neighborly countries which is so near that a civilian airflight

can get there in two hours or so is suddenly turning into senile dementia. It's so pathetic

that the country of Japan is suffering from historical amnesia, too. That greed precedes ruin. And that

hundreds of thousands of the Japanese people in the two prefectures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had

been scorched to death because of their goverment's misjudgement, territorial greed and brutalities.
