The key note of the peace treaty was to let the world "recognize" that Japan at the time was not able to pay war reparation so that the Allied nations should basically waive war reparation claims including those of their nationals against Japan. (Article 14) This may be an unamendable…

Wasn't the peace treaty a means to keep the Emperor's Golden Lily as booty and not to distribute it?

The fox is the messenger of the god Inari. Fushimi-Inari is the guardian god of Hata-clan who originally believed in Nestorianism. Some argue that Inari is a corrupted form of I.N.R.I. or Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews (John 19: 19). It's interesting that Christ…

Joseph Nye perhaps doesn't want to witness a regime change in this country by a new government that may still possibly be ruled by a supposedly retired boss who undauntedly says that Japan needs not more than the 7th Fleet as any U.S. presence in the Far East, adding that…

Perhaps after years of peregrination as a widowed refugee with a daughter, Mrs Dewi has got to see things in the cold light of day and rather looks askew at anything overenthusiastic. She also said that China and Korea are making too big a deal over the Yasukuni Shrine. She…

OK, I will rewrite, moderator. Yasukuni issue perhaps won't go away easily because the Kellogg-Briand Pact was something applied for once in a way to the prosecution/judgement on Japan at the Tokyo Trial. Not something applied consistently or equally. That's why many Japanese are rather non-judgmental and equivocal if not…

Why don't they get as upset when the Emperor the head of state sends his envoy to the shrine biannually and has him offer something a bit more gorgeous than a pot of the sacred tree branches and even read a formulary in front of the deities for all these…

If the DPRK can be guaranteed security w/out nukes, but still maintaining a military, the chances increase - but this would require someone whom the DPRK trusts as a guarantor of security, a defense mechanism if you will.

Who would be the someone whom North Korean can trust as…

Do you really think that NK will dispose of its nukes? As long as she has nukes, she can maintain her security and get aid by fooling around with the 6-party talks too. Notwithstanding UN binding resolution or non-binding statement, she is still surviving with kindly neighbors' loopholes through…

Underneath all its bluff, I heard somewhere, Islam is a world of polytheism and strong women.

Arabic race began from an offspring born out of wedlock because of his father not really believing God's words and instead agreeing to take a concubine. He swayed and quivered not before God but…
