American parks and monuments shouldn't be used as political battlegrounds by other countries in dispute.

Public parks aren't the place for foreign political fights



Los Angeles Daily News editorial board


War memorials have long been staples of public parks ­— busts of important military leaders, bronze statues of valiant warriors atop rearing horses and long, sobering lists of names of the dead carved into simple stones.


Their purpose is to help us remember our fellow countrymen and women who kept this nation whole and safe for nearly a quarter millennium. The idea of what constitutes a war memorial has naturally evolved in immigrant-rich regions such as this one, which include significant diaspora from many countries that have their own war stories, war heroes and war victims. As such, it’s not surprising to see the use of memorials to honor the victims or heroes of wars and atrocities in which the U.S. military took no part.


One of these — the “comfort women” memorial — was placed in a Glendale, Calif., city park last month. It was conceived after the city’s mayor visited Korea, and seemed reasonable to the city officials because Glendale has a Korean sister city.


So-called comfort women were a still-disputed number of sex slaves, mostly Korean, forced to service of Japanese soldiers during World War II. The Glendale memorial is one of a handful either erected or proposed across the U.S. and paid for by South Korea. Seems harmless enough. That is, unless you are Japanese.


After proposing the memorial, Glendale city officials were slammed by an email campaign by Japanese nationals who viewed this as anti-Japanese propaganda. Newspapers too, including this one, received daily e-mailed letters condemning the action — and they are still coming in weeks after the memorial was unveiled. Underlying these missives is more than just national pride. Glendale, it seems, had unwittingly walked into an ongoing political struggle between two foreign nations. Korea is trying to get Japan to do more to apologize and compensate the comfort women, many of whom are still alive. Japan is trying to minimize the claims by countering that most of the women were Japanese and they were just prostitutes anyhow.


For the record, Japan is on the wrong side of this. The treatment of comfort women is well-documented and the campaign to deny their existence is a transparent effort to whitewash wartime atrocities. But is this a fight that deserves a permanent spot in America’s public parks? Maybe not. The small Orange County city of Buena Park seems to have come to the same conclusion recently when city officials tabled a council vote on a proposed comfort women memorial. Smart move, but one that has already been spun into debate fodder in the Japanese-Korean debate.


Purists might legitimately argue that parks are the place for play and relaxation, not war memorials, homegrown or otherwise. That’s a question that needs to be answered with a public discussion about what’s appropriate in a park. And these questions as well: Should parks honor only those who fought on behalf of the United States? If open to honoring foreign wars, what are the rules? If Salvadoran immigrants want to memorialize the Sandinistas who died at the hands of U.S.-funded Contras, is that OK? Where does it end?


Knowing the right side of our own country’s history is complicated enough. Do we really want to take sides in the apparently unsettled histories of other countries? In our cities’ few and precious parks?

概要としては、

アメリカの公園には戦勲者の像や犠牲者を悼むネームプレートなど
戦争を記念するオブジェがつきものだ。

だが最近、この国の人口を構成するそれぞれに独自の戦争の記憶を持つ
であろう数多くの国の中から優勢となった移民が余計な記念碑を建立しやがる動きがある。

「従軍」慰安婦記念像もその一つだが、カリフォルニア州グレンデールでは、
当時の市長(現在は前市長)が韓国を訪れた際、韓国が費用を負担しての慰安婦像建立が
発案され、以来グレンデール市職員や我が社を含む新聞社は、これに抗議する日本人からの
メール攻勢に遭ってしまった。

歴史的見地からは日韓両サイドの言い分を比較すると韓国の主張は正しいように思える


(アメリカには直接関係ない話だけあってさすが無責任)。

だがしかし、そんなもんをアメリカの公園に建立することが我が国にとって何程の意味があろう。

たとえばエルサルバドル移民がコントラ(なつかしい)の資金でぬっころがされた
サンディ二スタを記念するのもOKですかあ?
我々自身の国について歴史認識を正しく持つことさえ煩雑だというのに、
この国の大切な公園で、
直接関係の無い他国の未確定な史観を開陳するなんてアリですかあ?

面倒は御免なのだ。


だいたいこのぐらいの話。
 









>日本は、女性のほとんどが日本人だったと彼らはただとにかく売春婦だったことを対抗することによってクレームを最小限にしようとしています。記録のために、日本はこれの間違った側にある。

おいやっぱり色々分かってねーじゃねーか







>日本はこれの間違った側にある。
慰安婦の治療は、よく文書化され、その存在を否定するキャンペーン


ごまかし戦時の残虐行為に対して透過的な努力である。

結局韓国側の立場じゃんか















あれだけ圧倒的な量で雄弁にウソを吐き散らし、あまつさえ日本の地方議会が
朝日新聞や和田春樹らの書き散らした出鱈目に依拠して出した議決まで援用されている。
その上アメリカの都合や願望も手伝っているのだから、簡単にはひっくり返らない。
















でも、やっとまともな声が上がってきたか
当事国でなく第三国の公共の場所に売春婦像を建てて回るとか


本当に意味不明だし










他国の公園を私物化するとか
はた迷惑にも程がある












グレンデール市町が見事なハニートラップ引っ掛かってて臭不可避wwww






元市長ね
現市長は唯一反対したうえ、除幕式にも出なかった
















従軍慰安婦が捏造だと
わかったらどうするんだろ
















後先考えない南朝鮮人がまた超デカい墓穴を掘ったな





















アメリカもそろそろ正義でひた隠しにしてきた


欺瞞の総括をする時期が来たということ







日本人が目を覚まして一番困るのは実はアメリカ。
