Some time ago, a Japanese organization related to the "abduction" issue and a group of right-wing politicians flew into the U.S. to kick off another noisy anti-DPRK smear campaign.

Yamatani, Dietman from the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, held a press conference in Washington at which he claimed that an American who was reported missing in 2004 while studying in China might be abducted by the DPRK and 13 countries including the U.S. fell victim to "the abduction operations" of the DPRK.

We cannot but be stunned by the far-fetched assertion of this lawmaker that the DPRK "might abduct" the American who was reported missing while touring Yunnan Province of China after finishing his study of Chinese at Beijing University.

He is a common student whose whereabouts is unknown to the DPRK. But, Japan is so well-informed of him. This makes people feel that the student might be abducted by Japan.

As many as 30,000 persons are reported missing in Japan in one year, their whereabouts left unknown. A particular mention should be made of the fact that foreigners including blonde British girls were abducted and reported missing one after another.

In the past Japan groundlessly linked the above-said cases with the DPRK only to be ridiculed and condemned by world people after they turned out to be sheer lies. Japan is resorting to this burlesque though it must know about those cases very well.

In a word, Japan orchestrated the above-said case in a bid to seek a way out of its crisis.

The Japanese politicians have so far considered "the abduction issue" as a main lever for improving their political images as they are characterized by hypocrisy and conspiratorial plots.

The right-wing conservative forces of Japan used the non-existent "abduction issue" of the DPRK as a justification and a ground for asserting their entity whenever they found themselves in a crisis at home and abroad.

Now the support rate for the present Cabinet of Japan is rapidly sinking.

The Noda government has been thrown into mayhem by the ever-deepening crisis caused by factional strife over the issue of passing the "bill on increasing taxes" through the Diet and other issues.

Whenever the political situation gets unsteady, the right-wing politicians used to kick off an "abduction" row in a bid to win popularity by fanning up national chauvinism and anti-DPRK hostility and tide over their crisis.

Such guy as Yamatani made no scruple of playing the role of a marionette in such poor farce to improve his image as a Dietman.

This is a deplorable reality of the Japanese political camp.

People spit at Japan which made much ado about "abduction" in the U.S. in an effort to weather the political crisis.

The right-wing conservative forces of Japan are much upset by the fact that the "abduction issue" on which they stake their fate had already found solutions and is almost forgotten. So, they wanted to make it workable with the help of the U.S. This is, however, a day- dream.

Japan is so pitiful and miserable that it has no political card to play at home and abroad except "abduction" issue.

The "abduction" issue would no longer be of any help to the Japanese politics as it is ill-famed for hypocrisy and conspiratorial plots.
