The U,S, Forces gave Japan two weeks' grace to set food on Japanese mainland after Japan  accepted the Potsdam  Declaration. During these two weeks, some government officers had burnt a lot of documents, and some had privatized war materials. However, no looting was said to have taken place. People say that they  were deeply impressed to see the train coming into the station as usual. It seemed to be telling that peaceful daily life disrupted by the war would come back again. It is amazing!  Common people had restored their vitality not from pedantic speeches about democracy but  the real trains moving just as they did yesterday. The government has promised so called "children first" policy., but we should remember during the World War Two the Imperial Forces tried to organize elementary school kids to fight with "the enemies " which has introduced democracy. Don't take advantage of children! Don't manipulate persons!

Japan's history tells us that it is easy to start a war, but it is difficult to stop the war. The war with China occurred in 1931 and by the Emperor’s Gyokuon-hoso radio broadcast announcing Japan’s surrender, it ended in 1945 --it is called 15 years' war. It goes without saying that Japan knows well about how difficult to end the war. Therefore,it would be Japan's duty to give some pieces of highly suggestive advice to the world simply because Japan went through unbearable sufferings caused by the war and put up with them for fifteen years.

War is cruel. That is why dictators take advantage of literary works in order to cover up its cruelty. Soviet Russia banished Solzhenitsyn, Novel Prize winner in Literature, and now Russia seems to be ostracizing Tolstoy's works just like Nazi did almost a century ago, simply because they are telling us war is inhuman, cruel, and meaningless. 

  Cannon balls can destroy buildings, public facilities, hospitals, schools, etc, but they cannot destroy and ravage human dignity and humanity. Dictators should realize it!

He proposed Ukraine a Christmas ceasefire. He tried to take advantage of religion this time. Jesus was neither a strong man like him, nor a cold revolutionist, but a person who died miserable for humans. That was why the Soviet Union had not needed the Christian religion before its corruption. If Lenin, leader of the Rossian Revolution, had been a miserable man like Jesus, how could he have founded the Bolsheviks? If Starlin had been a Good Samaritan, he could not have starved millions of people to death. Jesus tells us to love each other. He has never said "Fight again as soon as the celebration of my birthday is over." 

 

 

We have to wear masks, wash hands, gargle throats, etc, to prevent pandemic. We have been very concious about the death toll since coronavirus started to spread, but people on the battlefields have been experiencing deaths right in front of them.  It is not a disease.

Most soldiers would be a good father, a good husband, a good son, a good family member in your mother country. Will they, however, send exactly the same life as they used to do for the rest of their life if they murder persons, who could be a good father, a good wife, a good husband, a good son, a good daughter, an adorable grandchild, a good grandfather, a good grandmother, a good great-grandmother, a good great -grandfather, an irreplaceable family member in their home country?
