Ehime Maru Incident
Ehime Maru, Arrogance and Apologies
An article by Richard Cohen of the Washington Post has caused quite a commotion.
The article, viewable is NOT available online anymore without paying the Washington Post for it. luckily other people have saved copies of it: Here Here is an overly intercultual analysis (which ignores the fact that it is not only Japanese who found the incident ugly). Here is a non Japanese critique of the empty apology whcih gives the lie to the notion that the main problem is a cultural misunderstanding.

>> New: Global Article 9 Campaign Letter to the UN Security Council
This letter was sent to all Council members, as they were preparing to hold a debate on “strengthening collective security and armament regulation.” The letter reiterated that Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution supplements Article 26 of the UN Charter and called on governments to regulate armament, reduce worldwide military spending and reallocate the world’s limited resources to sustainable development and peace promotion.
Time for New Priorities: Global Call for Action on Military and Social Spending

Global Voyage For A Nuclear-Free World – Peace Boat Hibakusha Project
Peace Boat has invited 100 Hibakusha (Atomic Bomb Survivors) of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to join its three-month global journey around the world to share their testimonies of the experience of the atomic bomb with people around the world.
The Global Article 9 Campaign support this project as Hibakusha not only act as peace and disarmament educators, raising awareness on the dangers of nuclear weapons and the human costs of war, but also forcefully add their voices to the call to abolish all nuclear weapons and create an alternative vision for peace and global stability that does not rely on force.
