Minju Joson Tuesday in a signed commentary observes in this regard:

The Japanese reactionaries are kicking up a racket which sounds strange to others, absurdly terming the DPRK' launch of satellite for peaceful purposes a "long-range missile testfire." This is aimed to convert Japan into a war state capable of unilaterally declaring a war and embarking upon a war of aggression overseas.

It is their black-hearted intention to deliberately invent "a missile threat" from the DPRK and hype it in a bid to turn the situation favorable for laying a legal foundation for mounting a preemptive attack and bolstering up its military capability.

Short time ago, Abe, referring to the issue of prime minister's visit to "Yasukuni Shrine," let loose a spate of reckless remarks that it is natural for the leader of the country to pay respects to those who fell in actions for the country and those who died for the sake of the country. This fact should be interpreted in close linkage with the above-said intention.

It is not hard to guess what Abe truly had in mind when he called for paying respects to those who had been thrown into the dumping ground of history after meeting deaths for perpetrating crimes against humanity.

It is the real contention of Abe that the young Japanese should turn out to conquer other nations and exterminate them by inheriting the spirit of overseas aggression displayed by their ancestors.

Japan is turning reactionary and conservative at a rapid tempo as such militarist maniacs as Abe are allowed to strut about, eagerly waiting for the advent of the day when Japan would advance into the Asian continent unhindered, firing artillery pieces.

The entire Japanese society will suffer a horrible disaster unless such hysterics as Abe are ostracized and eliminated socially in order to bar Japan from rushing headlong into a war and doom.
