Diplomacy of Japan and Arrogance of Anglo-Saxons

　　I've really been worrying about the diplomacy of Japan recently. I wonder if the DPJ, the present ruling party of Japan, can make diplomatic efforts to resolve various issues between foreign countries. Russian high officials have repeatedly visited the northern territory of Japan to intensify their illegal occupation. South Korea is still occupying Takeshima island, which has been a traditional Japanese territory. China also still shows an interest in Senkaku Islands. Moreover the Japanese Government doesn't take any actual measures to expel them from Japanese territory.
　　By the way, how about the U.S.? Though lots of Japanese feel friendly toward the U.S. looking at their aid for the affected people in eastern Japan, is the U.S. really called a friend of Japan?
　　The US toy store, Toys'R'Us, came to my hometown years ago. My daughters were little at that time. That's why they were happy. However, some toy stores had to close their shops for that. In the last 10 years, most insurance companies in Japan were merged into U.S. companies. Japan Post Service was broken into three private companies and now the money of Japan is flowing out toward the U.S. These moves were from orders from the U.S. and this fact came to be known across Japan now.
　　I'd like to add one thing; I'm not accusing the U.S. The U.S. Government is just pursuing the interests of Americans. It's natural. The Japanese Government is so stupid that the U.S. can do anything they want.
　　Now, I have a few questions looking at the U.S. from another angle. How does the U.S. manage to change the rules of international society for its own convenience? What's the reason for it to force Muslims to adopt democracy? Is democracy the best system? Isn't it too arrogant? Anglo-Saxons aren't a majority in the world.
　　I presume that the U.S. believes that its own culture and policy is the best in the world, but if the American people believe that, but they are helpless idiots. They should calm down and think carefully about the world's cultural heritage. How much do they have? The ruins of the native Americans, the Statue of Liberty, which was gifted from France, the imitation of the Palladian style building. In other words, they have nothing original which they can be proud of.
　　I hope Japanese politicians would be proud of our own culture. To my regret, most of them are still brainwashed by the post-war policy of the U.S. and the Communist International. I wish Japan would be such a nation that could fight the evils of the world openly and squarely with the promise of a good conscience.

I was hesitating to comment here on this article...however...

Please remember...we Americans know that we have no culture...per se...we are a conglomeration of policies and values that help guide a multi-ethnic group of people, such as we are, to adapt to the changing times...and to innovate... to help set our nation in a comfortable standing economically.

The Japanese and the Americans are very similar in one particular way...we are both pragmatic in our thinking.

Now, again...the Japanese have a great culture...they have much to give the rest of the world in much of the Japanese sensibilities in group co-operation. The way the Japanese put group effort above all else set the standard of national excellence in many industries.

I am no International Strategist...however...it doesn't take one to realize that while most countries cannot effect change in the future of the world...the USA can...and in some cases...must. It is a matter of world survival. We are not an expansionistic country...other than our manifest destiny (not unlike any other country unifying its country)...we have never sought to dominate any country. Most look at the world as a checker board...they feel that each country should play live and let live and only move to counter direct aggression.

There have been...and there are... countries that strive to play the world as a game of GO. It is by controlling territories and the board that the game is won...without direct action. You control the board...you win the game...all without firing a shot. To be able to control all major sea going choke points...major financial operations...cornering the world's strategic minerals...as well as all other major resources...is to be able to deny them to anyone else when the time is right.

It is almost always the governments run by the very few...without any ability to control...much less influence the government by the people that attempt to establish a hegemony. Our look upon the world... we love all citizens of all nations (what country allows so much legal immigration into its nation)...it is the oppressive governments that are dangerous to all
peace loving nations... that we try to stabilize.

I know how you feel about your government...its chief responsibility is to its people. For your nation to prosper...your people must come first.

Now...don't be sucked into the media hype about we (America) being a Democracy...that we are not. We are a Federalist Republic. A pure Democracy is one of the worst of all governing bodies...it is essentially mob rule...majority wins. That is what our forefathers had run away from.

Our Democratic principles extend to where the voice of the people can alter who best represents them...and how long they may continue doing so based upon the efficient and effective running of their nation...doing what is best for the whole...for the long term.

We run on Positive Reinforcement as the incentive to a better life (free market...individuals reaping the rewards of their efforts).

Those governments who run by military force...and elitist groups (generally Marxist in nature)...must run by Negative Reinforcement...punish those who don't perform...as they...in general cannot reap the rewards as individuals.

China only started to prosper when it started following the example set by its free market based area (Hong Kong).

We merely try to stabilize countries where the governments oppress its people to where they don't have a say in their government. It is for World stabilization. A country that suffers must eventually act aggressively as its people cannot produce to the level to prosper...that is a lion starving in its
den...it eventually needs to hunt (its neighbors)...as it cannot feed itself.

A situation of its own doing only to claim poverty later as its justification.

We, the people of the United States, value, so highly our freedom...our ability to raise our standard of living through our applied intelligence and efforts...that we consider them basic human rights. We, because of our love of all our brothers throughout the world, see oppression as a cry against basic humanity.

Yes...we do see ourselves as protectors of the smaller children (our brothers) on the playground that is life. We hold all the bullies, in our eyes, in disdain. When we see our brothers picked on...we respond.

This does not make us the bullies...while we are assertive...we are not aggressive.

What should be held in disdain in all eyes is not only the bullies...but those who see it happening and do nothing about it.

With most people being essentially good...
how is it that evil is allowed to exist?

Because of the majority...
neither doing...nor...saying anything... about it.

We feel the same way in Canada! Peter
