First of all, it is questionable that
deployment of the Osprey serves Japan’s interests. This apparently shows the fact that Japan is
not a democratic nation. Are there any
democratic nations in the world? The Chávez
regime is very democratic. However,
according to Western news reports, President Chávez is a dictator. A word seems to have a completely different
meaning in the world of politics and mass media. According to the U.S., Osprey deployment is
necessary for peace and stability in Far Eastern Asia and they send in Al Qaeda
to Syria to fight with terrorists. The
U.S. is a country easy to understand, I think.

Makes Emergency Landing In U.S. – The Same Type Aircraft To Be Deployed In

Opposition
Inevitably Brought About
[Washington D.C., Kyodo]
It has been found on 7th
that a U.S. Marine’s new type aircraft Osprey made an emergency landing in an
urban area in North Caroline on 6th. The Marine Corps has released it. No one was injured and the aircraft was not
damaged. The aircraft, which was
stationed at New River Air Station in North Caroline, was the same type aircraft scheduled to be deployed to U.S.
Futenma airport (located in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture).

The Marines plans to move the 12 Ospreys
temporarily stationed in Iwakuni base (located in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi
Prefecture) to Futenma and start full-fledged operation of them in
October. A citizens’ protest rally
against the Osprey deployment will be held in Okinawa on 9th. It is likely that opposition to the
deployment will spread all over the country, including Okinawa.
