URGENT: First Chinese ISIS fighter captured in Iraq says Ministry of Defense - Iraqi News

If the captured militant proves to be a Chinese national, it would be the first sign of Chinese citizens fighting for the Sunni group in Iraq and Syria, along with hundreds of other foreign Islamists, including citizens of Britain, Australia and the United States, who have traveled to this region of the Middle East, answering the call of jihad to establish what they call an “Islamic Caliphate.”


Islamic State leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in a July speech stated that “Muslim rights are forcibly seized in China, India, Palestine”, and urged all Muslims around the world to join his cause.

Wu Sike, China’s special envoy to the Middle East, has previously stated than an estimated 100 Chinese citizens may be fighting for the Islamic State. They are mostly Muslim Uyghurs from China’s remote western region of Xinjiang, according to Wu.

１００人くらいに中国人兵士がイスラム国のためにたたかっているが、多くは、ウイグル系兵士だろう、と。

慰安婦国連報告書「修正の必要ない」クマラスワミ氏　朝日新聞の修正・取り消し後初会見
2014.9.5 07:41 ［「慰安婦」問題］

　慰安婦を「性奴隷」と位置付け、日本政府に謝罪や賠償を勧告した１９９６年の国連報告書（クマラスワミ報告）を作成したスリランカの女性法律家、クマラスワミ元特別報告者が４日までに共同通信と会見し、報告書の内容について、「修正は必要ない」との考えを示した。

　朝日新聞は８月、韓国・済州島で女性を慰安婦にするため強制連行したとする元山口県労務報国会下関支部動員部長の故吉田清治氏の証言を虚偽だったと判断し、報道の一部を取り消した。

　報告書は吉田氏の著書を引用しているが、クマラスワミ氏は吉田証言について「証拠の一つにすぎない」と主張。元慰安婦への聞き取り調査などに基づき「日本軍が雇った民間業者が（元慰安婦らを）誘拐した」事例があったと主張した。

　朝日新聞の報道取り消し後、クマラスワミ氏が日本メディアと会見したのは初めて。

　クマラスワミ報告については、吉田氏の証言など信頼できない情報にも立脚しているとの批判があるが、スリランカのコロンボで会見したクマラスワミ氏は調査に基づき「慰安婦たちには逃げる自由がなかった」と強調。慰安婦を「性奴隷」と定義したのは妥当だったと述べた。（共同）

　米軍慰安婦も、日本兵も、日本軍慰安婦と同程度に逃げる自由がなかったのだから、彼、彼女らは、性奴隷、軍隊奴隷だったわけだが、しかし、そんなこと、国連が聞くわけがない。

池田信夫さんがリツイート

松本徹三さんはTwitterを使っています 慰安婦問題の本質は強制連行の有無などではなく女性の人権だと言っておられる方々に質問です。そんなに女性の人権が気になるのなら、70年以上も...

　ここらへんが、池田氏らの弱点なのかもしれない。いまでも、同じようなことがあるのだから、日本軍慰安婦は問題ない、とでもいいたげである。

　戦前の吉原でも、現代の風俗産業についても、女性の人権侵害はある。なによりも、朝鮮戦争でもベトナムでも同じような女性の人権侵害はあった。それらはまちがっていた。

　日本は韓国や米国に先立って、自国の非を認めて、謝罪と補償をした。それに見習って、韓国や米国も謝罪や補償をすべきである、とこう主張すべきなのだ。　自分のことは棚に上げて、すでに謝罪と補償を申し出た日本に説教するとは何事か、とどやしつけるべきなのである。
そうすれば、広く女性の人権も救済されるだろうに。

　吉田証言が取り下げられても、また、仮に河野談話が取り下げられても、アメリカでの慰安婦像は、どんどん増設されるだろう。

　国際状況をまったく飲み込めていない、いまだに、女性の人権の重要性について自覚できていない、日本の右翼の　敗戦である。

　横暴な脅迫や剥奪、苦しみに直面したときこそ、それらに、抵抗する選択肢があらわになり、抵抗することで、本来的な自分をつかみとるのだ、といったところか？

ーーー文学的ではある。

　自由とか強制とか、というのもいろいろな用法があるし、あってもいいとは思う。


　もっとも、慰安婦問題での広義の強制性というのを認めたら、米軍慰安婦も、広義の強制性はあった、ということになるのは当然として、Ｂ級戦犯など、普通の戦争犯罪なども軍の規律やら雰囲気ということで、広義には強制された軍隊奴隷であり、戦争犯罪が成立しなくなる、ということも着目しておくべき。

　朝日や吉見教授は、その点の帰結も受け入れる気はあるのだろうか？



　

Tabuchi is not telling the aspect of American past that are troubling.

There was a time, for example, when historians didn’t worry much about the slave trade and the emergence of an economy based on forced labor. Historians likened the plantation to a “school,” and emancipated people as children let out of class too soon. Only slightly more than a half-century ago, historians began to “revise” that narrative, examining sources previously ignored or unseen, informed by new ideas about race and human agency. More recently, scholars have revised 19th-century images of the “vanishing Indian,” a wildly inaccurate narrative that lives on in public monuments and popular lore, and has implications for public policy.

This essential process of reconsideration and re-evaluation takes place in all disciplines; imagine a diagnosis from a physician who does not read “revisionist” medical research.

Revisionism is necessary ― and it generates controversy, especially when new scholarship finds its way into classrooms. But debate over what is taught in our schools is hardly new. Part of the logic underlying the creation of Catholic schools in 19th-century America had to do with a public-school curriculum that took a distinctly Protestant view of religious conflicts and cultural values. Since the early 20th century, battles have been waged over the relative place of “history” and “civics” in public education, a dichotomy that many professional historians don’t even accept.

　まさにその通りで、Right now American historians and journalists are not worried about the Asian Sex Slaves American military exploited just as Japanese military did.

"The Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault”

Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault

By John J. Mearsheimer FROM OUR SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2014

　The taproot of the trouble is NATO enlargement, the central element of a larger strategy to move Ukraine out of Russia’s orbit and integrate it into the West.



For Putin, the illegal overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected and pro-Russian president -- which he rightly labeled a “coup” -- was the final straw. He responded by taking Crimea, a peninsula he feared would host a NATO naval base, and working to destabilize Ukraine until it abandoned its efforts to join the West.


Although the full extent of U.S. involvement has not yet come to light, it is clear that Washington backed the coup. Nuland and Republican Senator John McCain participated in antigovernment demonstrations, and Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, proclaimed after Yanukovych’s toppling that it was “a day for the history books.” As a leaked telephone recording revealed, Nuland had advocated regime change and wanted the Ukrainian politician Arseniy Yatsenyuk to become prime minister in the new government, which he did. No wonder Russians of all persuasions think the West played a role in Yanukovych’s ouster.




Washington may not like Moscow’s position, but it should understand the logic behind it. This is Geopolitics 101: great powers are always sensitive to potential threats near their home territory. After all, the United States does not tolerate distant great powers deploying military forces anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, much less on its borders. Imagine the outrage in Washington if China built an impressive military alliance and tried to include Canada and Mexico in it.



If Putin were committed to creating a greater Russia, signs of his intentions would almost certainly have arisen before February 22. But there is virtually no evidence that he was bent on taking Crimea, much less any other territory in Ukraine, before that date.



Besides, even if it wanted to, Russia lacks the capability to easily conquer and annex eastern Ukraine, much less the entire country. Roughly 15 million people -- one-third of Ukraine’s population -- live between the Dnieper River, which bisects the country, and the Russian border. An overwhelming majority of those people want to remain part of Ukraine and would surely resist a Russian occupation. Furthermore, Russia’s mediocre army, which shows few signs of turning into a modern Wehrmacht, would have little chance of pacifying all of Ukraine. Moscow is also poorly positioned to pay for a costly occupation; its weak economy would suffer even more in the face of the resulting sanctions




Although Kerry has maintained that “all options are on the table,” neither the United States nor its NATO allies are prepared to use force to defend Ukraine.



History shows that countries will absorb enormous amounts of punishment in order to protect their core strategic interests. There is no reason to think Russia represents an exception to this rule.




There is a solution to the crisis in Ukraine, however -- although it would require the West to think about the country in a fundamentally new way. The United States and its allies should abandon their plan to westernize Ukraine and instead aim to make it a neutral buffer between NATO and Russia, akin to Austria’s position during the Cold War. Western leaders should acknowledge that Ukraine matters so much to Putin that they cannot support an anti-Russian regime there. This would not mean that a future Ukrainian government would have to be pro-Russian or anti-NATO. On the contrary, the goal should be a sovereign Ukraine that falls in neither the Russian nor the Western camp.


One also hears the claim that Ukraine has the right to determine whom it wants to ally with and the Russians have no right to prevent Kiev from joining the West. This is a dangerous way for Ukraine to think about its foreign policy choices. The sad truth is that might often makes right when great-power politics are at play. Abstract rights such as self-determination are largely meaningless when powerful states get into brawls with weaker states. Did Cuba have the right to form a military alliance with the Soviet Union during the Cold War? The United States certainly did not think so, and the Russians think the same way about Ukraine joining the West. It is in Ukraine’s interest to understand these facts of life and tread carefully when dealing with its more powerful neighbor.





The United States will also someday need Russia’s help containing a rising China. Current U.S. policy, however, is only driving Moscow and Beijing closer together.

勢力争いの観点からみて、現状のすったもんだが、欧米のfault だ、という意味ではそうなのかもしれない。

　いずれにせよ、住民の意思、安全がどうなっているのか、その観点から、是非を論じる、という単純な観点がアメリカの主要なメディアに欠けているのは恐ろしい、ことだ。

　アメリカの主要なメディアは自分たちのナショナリズムに気づいていない。
