Bush Will Force Japan to Withdraw From UN

Bush Will Force Japan to Withdraw From UN


Japanese international journalist Nobuhiko Ochiai said, "With the Iraqi war this time, Japan will be forced to perform on the center stage of the world." Mr. Ochiai stressed that President Bush's declaration of war against Iraq will decide the future of Japan.

After the Iraqi war, Japan must face the crisis of North Korea. Mr. Ochiai contributed the following article to The Weekly Post.

1. Behind French Demands for Peace

The French government must stop its indulgence in power games. France has been performing opportunistically in its efforts at diplomacy. French President Chirac is one of the world leaders who made Dictator Saddam Hussein powerful.

In 1975, Chirac was the prime minister of France. He made contact with Saddam Hussein to promote a stable supply of oil from Iraq. He invited Saddam to his home.

Mr. Chirac received an order for constructing a nuclear power plant in Iraq. Why did an oil-rich country like Iraq need a nuclear power plant? The reason was that Iraq wanted to extract the plutonium needed to develop nuclear weapons.

Chirac and Hussein had been close friends since then. France sold Mirage jetfighters and surface-to-battleship missiles to Iraq. However, Iraq did not pay for those weapons. The transaction involved $5 billion, which is still outstanding today. If Saddam Hussein falls, payment will never be made.

Behind the French demand for peace with Iraq, there exists this kind of reason.

Also, the French have been preparing to rebuild Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. French businesses have already signed contracts with Iraqi business people who are expected to be exiled but will become the center of Iraqi business after the war.

2. Useless UN

While the UN continues to engage in a 'party of chattering,' Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il have been preparing for terrorism. The UN embarked on solving civil wars in Congo, Rwanda or Palestine, but these all failed. The results were too little, too late.

So far, summit meetings with the leaders of Israel and Palestine have been held at the White House or Camp David, never at the UN.

One high-ranking government official from Israel remarked, "Our safety must be built by ourselves. The United Nations means the 'United Nothing.'"

When the US and British governments want to take strong action against Iraq, the proposal will be vetoed by a country which has veto power.

3. New United Nations

President Bush's ultimatum against Iraq was also an ultimatum to the UN.

If a war is between two countries, it can be prevented through diplomatic negotiations but wars with terrorists cannot. The UN is not the right place for discussing such war.

The US neo-conservative group of Americans including Richard Pearl, Chairman of the National Defense Council, who support the Bush Administration, are discussing the US withdrawal from the UN.

The US government pays $2.5 billion in contributions to the UN, which is equivalent to 20 percent of the total contribution. If the US withdraws from the UN, the UN will not be able to function. If Japan, which makes 20-percent contribution to the UN, joins in the US withdrawal, what will happen to the UN? One think tank of the US Republican Party has been studying how to build a new UN.

If the US, Japan and Britain agree to build a new UN, the old UN will disappear. The new UN will launch a policy not to allow rogue nations to become members.

No countries which have been opposing the military action against Iraq may have firm principle for opposition. If a new UN is built, they will rush to it.

4. Do Not Give Time to Dictator

Once the Iraq war ends, the same kind of operations must be taken against the North Korean dictator.

If the issue of North Korea is brought to the UN, China and Russia will push the subject to a dead end. It will face the same kind of situation as the Iraqi issue.

All nations must know how much time the 'chatter party' at the UN will give dictator Kim Jong Il. It will make the world more dangerous. The Japanese must learn deception from Kim Jong Il. Prime Minister Koizumi and Kim Jong Il signed the Pyongyang Declaration last September. Kim Jong Il seemed to have made concession, however, after the signing the declaration, Kim Jong Il did not take the right attitude to the Japanese.

When we look to take action against North Korea, it is impossible to consider it without the US. This is the reality. Therefore, to fight the Iraqi war with the US will contribute to the national interest of Japan. People who claim that sending an Aegis cruiser to the war is an indication of support the US operations is not correct. This is a war of the Japanese as well. Japan must do more.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when the dissolution of the UN would be openly discussed by anyone besides the JBS , and much-mocked 'tinfoilers' like me. And to think that it's being suggested that GWB and his administration also want to kill off the UN!

Unfortunately, the JBS and your fellow "tin foilers" are not exactly enjoying the developing anti-UN position of President Bush and the people they call "neoconservatives." The Birch Magazine The New American routinely condemns the Iraq war as an attempt to enforce UN resolutions and winds up sounding more like Koffi Anan than you might believe. And other "palaeo" sites are even more hostile (since they perceive that the war could conceivably benefit Israel). Yet even as they mimic the words of the Koffi Anans and Desmund Tutus of the world and condemn President Bush they still ritually scream "Get US out!"

If we actually do leave that organization (please G-d, and let's kick it out of the USA as well) I predict the "tinfoilers" will b*tch as loudly as ever about Bush's "belligerence." These people are so sick with hatred they can't make sense any more.

The Japanese are a lot smarter than the Franco-Fritz.

Thanks for posting that link - that NWO screed is enough to make any American blow huge chunks. In fact, every American should be required to read that and then read our Constitution so that they can see what a traitorous scumbag WJC is. (Like we didn't already know that. But the masses need to learn it better.)

No wonder he wants to be the UN Secretary General. This document sets that position up as the leader of the world with no one to answer to.

GET US OUT OF THE UN!!!!!!!!

This is one "tin foiler' who will be positively giddy with relief and joy if the UN enters the dungheap of history! Just looking over the text of the MS Declaration reminds me why I hate that organization so much!

Here's a fear of mine : If the US does leave the UN , it doesn't collapse-and it adopts the MS Declaration as the nucleus of the "new, improved" UN charter. And then it declares any country not a member of the UN to be a global outlaw....Probably unlikely in the extreme, but there is a reason to worry about the mischief the UN will cause, if the US isn't there to veto it. But at this point, I'd say the risks to the US are far outweighed by the benefits-US out of UN< UN out of US!

Actually, We provide 25% of the UN budget, Japan provides 12.5%, next is Britain, Spain, Germany and France with 6-7%. Russia provides only about 2% and China provides only .8% of the annual budget. Of course that's just operating costs. When it comes to humanitarian aid, the US provides 60%.

If the US, Japan, Britain and Spain left there would not be enough money in the UN to pay the light bill.

That's part of the legacy of Clinton that we will have to live with and try to correct -
Other countries feel that their leaders signature is law, and are not used to the US having a scheming bastard who would sign anything if it would get him more contributions.
Since Clinton is not in jail or dead, they think that his "proclamations" are valid.
Their leaders, of course, understand the reality of the situation, but they will pretend not to if it suits their purposes.

I absolutely agree with you except for one thing. Japan already has a much larger and extremely professional military than many appreciate. I’m pretty sure their military spending is the 4th highest in the world. The biggest holes in their military are an inability to project power beyond Japan (i.e. Air/sea lift and air refueling). In a very short time they could be on par with Britain. The only thing lacking is political will on their part at this time.

Regardless of their ability to pay, the UN is located on US territory. We could cut off electrical power any time we want.

Yep. The 'hoi polloi' in the EU believe it was 'unfair' for GWB to refuse to ratify kyoto and icc, like WJC promised. And their leaders are counting on the resulting antiamerican sentiment to 'bring Europe together'. So far, it's worked pretty well.

I was arguing with a radical left-winger (whom I've known for years) and got him really pissed off when I pointed out that the US hasn't formally ratified all kinds of UN treaties. Even though I won the argument, I was left with the question of exactly how many UN treaties have we ever ratified? Obviously, Kyoto and the ICC were non-starters. The Geneva Convention was pre-UN. All I can think of is nuclear-weapons related.
