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.

Could something like this work ?
A UN based on the government we have here -

A senate of equal members from every country
A house of representatives by population
A house of Bourghers (sp?) based on countries economy

Successful, populous countries would have more say .. they are the ones with experience in how to make things work.

Can we wait until just after billary is elected secretary general? Then pull 40% of the UN's annual budget. Maybe then the rats donation list would rush to support the United Nothing leaving less money for elections here. This would make billary completely irrelevent.

You read far too much into a different culture's understanding of this war. In fact if you look at it Bush has declared war at Iraq.. it's the fundemental princple in the whole bit.

[Terridan]

The only thing I didn't like about the headline was the "Bush to force Japan" part.

Seems like Japan isn't being forced at all! Gladly, they are leaving of own accord.

>You read far too much into a different culture's >understanding of this war. In fact if you look at it Bush >has declared war at Iraq.. it's the fundemental princple >in the whole bit.

I think you misunderstood me.

1.I never attempted to look into any cultures view of this war so Im not sure how you came to that conclusion.

2. While we are at war with Iraq, I was only saying that this is not an offical "declared war". As there was never a request for a formal declaration of war that can only be made by Congress.

3. I support this war whole-heartedly and I also mentioned that Im glad its not a "Declared War" because many times in history this has proved to lead to a decrease in liberties and other such measures.

I think you read too much into what I was saying.

Best Regards!

Well, I think thats something very similar to what the UN has in mind....The whole "one would government" thing...

Lets hope it never happens!

" In fact if you look at it Bush has declared war at Iraq.. it's the fundemental princple in the whole bit."

I think we may have to re-think the concept, and coin a new word.
Think General Noriaga in Panama - We are not "at war" with Iraq - in fact, our actions are so that hopefully we will never be at war with Iraq.

Korea was just a "police action" with 50,000 American deaths.

[ImphClinton]

And just what parts of this declaratios is the U.N. living up to.

They choose tyrants over democracy. Slavery over freedom. Terrorist over all else.

The U.N. is a huge failure and always has. NATO is the only thing that kept the world sane and with insane France it is no longer doing it's job either.

It is time for a new orgnization that can foster lasting world peace. The world has just changed too much since the fall of the USSR and the emergence of terrorism.

"Well, I think thats something very similar to what the UN has in mind....The whole "one would government" thing... "

The UN has never, EVER included a concept that the properous countrys should have a greater say simply because they know how to make economies work.

We have a "United States" government that seems to work OK compared to the rest of the world. The only major drawback to a "United World" government is that there is noone to escape to if things go wrong.

[Enemy Of The State]

Sorry, I think I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

At any rate, I dont believe that such a government would be in the best interest of the people but thats just my opinion.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

Looks like it's time for a Pacific Coalition.

The USA, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia.

Best to leave out NAFTA 'allies' like Mexico and Canada, right?

[Porterville]

Is it illegal to encourage the overthrow of the french government by violent methods from the US???

[RS]

"Korea was just a "police action" with 50,000 American deaths.

Vietam is a "was" - Korea is an "is" -
The Cold War is a "was" - Korea is an "is" -
Berlin Wall is a "was" - Korea is an "is" -
Cuban Missile Crisis is a "was" - Korea is an "is" -

Korea is not a "was" - Korea is an "is" -

Pres. Bush understands this well, and he is making the right moves at the right time

[Enemy Of The State]

>>Is it illegal to encourage the overthrow of the french >>government by violent methods from the US???

hehe..I wont tell if you want to try.

[Enemy Of The State]

are you working on your own psyop of confusion?

hehe...thats almost a tounge twister

[Enemy Of The State]

Sounds good to me!

[patriot5186]

I agree. I wish the US dropped it's membership in the UN and let the UN fend for themselves. National sovereignty over a New World Order!

Why do you guys insist upon calling it a WAR. It's NOT a war. It's THE ENFORCEMENT PHASE OF RESOLUTION 1441.
