Japan's Antiterrorism Special Measures Law and confusion over U.N. authority

Ammunition against Japan

Regarding the Sept. 30 article "110,000 protest history text revision order": It surprises me that in a democratic country like Japan a single ministry (education) is able to affect internal and international politics so negatively. Okinawans are not the only ones who have criticized past and present...

The young deserve the truth

Regarding the Oct. 4 article "Okinawa leaders press state to keep hands off textbooks": I agree that the books should not be changed. True history is a hard thing to find because it is always the victor that writes the history. Victors will exclude all things that make them look bad. And, again, each...

Poor example for educators

Regarding the Sept. 28 article "Tokai tasked with continuing education reforms": Increasing the number of teachers in the schools is not the solution. Improving the attitudes and integrity of everyone concerned -- from the education minister to the classroom teachers -- can help a lot.

Junta will receive retribution

As a Myanmar citizen, I would like to apologize to the citizens of Japan for the utterly wrong action of the government of Myanmar late last month. I am sure the regime did not know what it was doing, for it has been doing wrong after wrong for two decades now. It does not know the value of human life....

The death of one's own

Before I go to bed tonight, I will pray hard to Lord Buddha that I wake up as a Japanese in the morning. All my life, I have been Burmese and have thought that human life has equal value worldwide. Recent days have been a rude awakening for me.

Many chances to speak English

In response to Hikaru Maeda's Sept. 30 letter, I think that criticism of Nova's wrongdoing is not only justified; it's long overdue. Maeda has opportunities all around to speak English. All you have to do is speak to someone!

Media pressure helped instructors

Regarding Hikaru Maeda's Sept. 30 letter, "English school has been good to us": The writer's comment that "it is a shame that Nova has been so criticized by the media" is very naive. As a Nova "Titled Instructor," I can affirm that all Nova teachers were relieved when the media finally brought the nonpayment...

A gamble in Pyongyang

It is too early to tell whether South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun can call his trip to North Korea last week a success, but North Korean leader Kim Jong Il must be happy with the visit.
