The mass media say that, in Japan, pacifism is being rethought.
\nWhat kind of perspective\/government policy is being sought?<\/p>\n
In Japanese culture, isn\u2019t Peace still deep-seated?
\nNow, how is opposition to war\/violence being treated?<\/p>\n
Constitutionally, what will the major transformation be?
\nA Nonkilling Japanese policy will the world no longer see?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s hope Japan\u2019s position will honor its global co-responsibility to
\nnurture peace.<\/p>\n
May its government do its best for all efforts of peace-sustaining never to
\ncease.
