International | Anti-WarAN APPEAL FOR ARTICLE 9
On the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, an appeal is made for international action for peace through Article 9, the war-renouncing clause of the Constitution of Japan. (originally published at sf.indymedia.org on 15 August 2005; updated 7 July 2007)  uyoku1698.jpg (Japanese children crossing a street in Itami, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan on 7 May 2005, amid a heavy police presence and the presence of an estimated 100 cheering, flag-waving rightists in the background. The rightists had turned out to give a warm send-off to several hundred soldiers of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces as the troops departed their nearby garrison for Samawah, Iraq.) AN APPEAL FOR ARTICLE 9 (commentary) tettai1709.jpg Japanese Self-Defense Forces troops aboard a bus, waving to cheering rightist supporters on the street as the troops are being transported to the local airport in Itami, Hyogo Prefecture on 7 May 2005. This was one of five buses of the Hankyu Railway Co., a major Japanese train company, that transported 500 SDF troops to the airport that day; from there they headed on to Samawah, Iraq. Samawah is an area of Iraq that has been determined by scientists to have had high levels of deadly depleted uranium (DU) contamination.
