Pyongyang has just launched a rocket supposedly carrying a

satellite to space, but some countries are however, accusing

it of testing a missile instead. These countries are just
trying to make rich political capital out of it.

Any sovereign nation has the right to venture into space, and
to do so in as few or as many tries as they possibly could.
A rocket on a trajectory into space is not much different from
a ballistic missile and people should provide some leeway for
the adventurist nation(s). No denunciations needed at all.

However, countries like Japan are trying to fish in troubled

waters and whipping up emotions and bringing out the knives.

Japan is a nation with an extremely ruthless and barbaric past

and has no right to hastily judge others at all. Japan is a
nation with an evil heart, considering that the Korean people
suffered indescribably when Japan ruled over Korea in the last
century. And now Japan wants everybody to punish North Korea
with sanctions, just like what the US did to Iraq. Iraq is now
a giant human abattoir, by the way.

When Japan conquered Korea by force, they ruled the land with
an iron hand. The Korean language, culture and literature were
strictly banned from being taught. Koreans were arbitrarily
arrested, jailed or conscripted as forced labour.

During WW2, Korean women were forced to act as sex slaves for
Japanese soldiers and taken everywhere. When the Japs invaded
other countries, they did the same things to the locals which
they had done for so long against the Koreans.

Also, defeated enemy soldiers were cruelly treated. Much worse

than the treatment received by the Koreans. Allied soldiers
caught hiding in rural houses in Malaya had their chests sliced
with bayonets and then had salt thrown over the wounds. Civilians
arrested for opposing the Japs were buried alive or had their heads
chopped off with swords. Many innocent people were taken to cells
and interrogated using the water treatment technique , forcing
water into their stomachs and then jumping on their bloated bodies.

Civilians caught for varied perceived 'offences' were tortured

as part of entertainment for Japanese soldiers. Such torture
included slicing prisoners' skin off using sharp knives, lashing
their chests with horse whips and putting ants inside their clothes
after tieing them to tree trunks. Many other very cruel and inhuman
methods to inflict pain were devised by the inhuman Japanese as
time wore on. Their cruelty knew no bounds.

When Japan was finally defeated, the US and the other former colonial
powers returned and took over the territories vacated and that also
included Korea. The US employed Japanese administrators and pro-Jap
collaborators to oversee the Korean peninsula and in no time became
entangled in a political cat-and-mouse gamble with the USSR. The
result was the division of Korea and the subsequent Korean war.

The Koreans suffered very horribly due to the insane callousness of

the Jap and US occupiers, and now, more than fifty years later, the
Koreans are still in danger of suffering even more at the hands of
these very same people. Sanctions to starve and kill the Korean
inhabitants of the DPRK are the latest ways now being proposed.

All civilised nations must resolutely opposed the extremely evil

and uncivilised proposal by the barbaric Japan government to harm
North Korea using so-called 'sanctions', which are really nothing
more than Mafia-style political extortion-cum-executions.

Japan calling for punishment against North Korea is like A. Hitler

calling for punishment against people who have a Jewish background.
We all must instead sanction Japan for trying to create a Cold War
situation in the western Pacific.

The present political confrontation in the Korean peninsula should

be handled via negotiations and not through cries of war. Japan
is certainly a nation with an evil heart. Fascism has never been
successfully erased from the Japanese psyche. Indeed it has always
been evil all along. The rest of the world must be aware of it.
