To
restore true prosperity based on peace and stability the Korean peninsula had
once enjoyed under the 1910 Japan-Korea annexation with the enormous assistance
provided by Japan although it was as short as 35 years, both North Korea
created by the Soviet Union on September 9, 1948 and South Korea by U.S. on
August 15, 1948 should be dismantled, albeit almost impossible and demanding to
the victors of the Greater East Asia War, with deep remorse over their brutal
aggression into Japan including Korea whose annexation was amicably and
internationally approved of.
Since
we have observed that significance of both Kono
statement and Murayama statement issued by two political mavericks have been
rapidly eroded in
Japan due to their highly questionable credibility, we urge U.S. government to
issue a statement such as Obama statement on U.S. aggression
into Japan with deep remorse over their brutal acts committed
against the Japanese race since 1853 when Commodore Matthew Perry first pointed
his gun at Japan. This is only if U.S.G. accepts it.
The
annexation was realized, despite reprehensible assassination of Prince Ito
Hirobumi, four-time Prime Minister of Japan, the former Resident-General of
Korea who had in fact persistently insisted that Korea would become modernized
and strong enough to defend itself against the Western (chiefly Russia) and
Chinese aggression only if assisted by Japan. Simply, dismantlement of both
North and South Korea means one step closer to the unification they have long
dreamed of.

Roosevelt and Truman look so chummy with the Communist Leader Joseph Starling. They
are totally responsible for having divided the Korean peninsula into two,
thereby destroying the peaceful Korea.
On August 15, 1945, Governor of Korea, General Abe Nobuyuki
and Commander-in-Chief, Lieutenant General Kouzuki Yoshio lowered “Rising Sun flag” and hoisted
“Korean flag”,
thereby initiating the establishment of Korean Nation Preparation Committee and
granting Korea autonomy.
However, the autonomy granted by Japan on August 15, 1945 didn’t last long as
U.S. advanced
its forces into southern Korea on September 8, 1945 and nullified the autonomy by lowering “Korean flag” and hoisting
“Rising Sun flag” again. On September 9, 1945, MacArthur declared that southern Korea would be placed under
administration of U.S. forces.
Despite the agreement reached at Cairo on December 1, 1943, that “in due course Korea shall become
free and independent.”, U.S.A. neglected its promise and divided the Korean peninsula into two. Russian entrance into northern Korea was agreed to, after Yalta, by American military authorities as part of the taking of the surrender of
Japanese troops, states E. R. Stettinius, Jr. in his book Roosevelt and the
Russians The Yalta Conference. Ensuing consequence of U.S. decision to divide Korea into two
was “the most brutal War Korea has ever
experienced in its history.
