Prime Minister Mr. Junichiro Koizumi
Director General of the Defense Agency Mr. Hajime Nakatani

Anti-Capitalist Action

Three bills of a terrorism measure special-measures bill, the Self-Defense Forces Law change-for-the-worse proposal, and the Maritime Safety Agency method change-for-the-worse proposal were approved at the Lower House plenary session on October 18. If the contents of these three bills are examined and the process of deliberations is seen, the government cannot but strive for the national structure whose war is possible by taking "the measures against terrorism" a title, and cannot but say that it is going to strengthen the Self-Defense Forces itself to the more practical army simultaneously.

Since the government is "logistic support" of a U.S.-British army in spite of being clear, it says as constitutionality "there is neither the front nor back on the battlefield." On the other hand, since it turns out that it goes to a battlefield substantially, relief of use restrictions of arms is incorporated. Permission of hostilities is also given. It is clear that war participation of the Self-Defense Forces tends to be carried out.

The government and the Defense Agency are going to sacrifice the Self-Defense official as "an international contribution which sheds blood." According to the report, between a Self-Defense official or its family, agitation has spread about sending troops to Afghanistan. here is the essence of the "army" which forces it what even a command comes out and "is killed" [ "murder" and ] Moreover, change for the worse of the Self-Defense Forces Law advances a Self-Defense official's management strengthening while confining surveillance and criticism of the public to the Self-Defense Forces.

Politics cannot carry out the tool of a Self-Defense official's life, the public cannot be made to be able to kill, and we cannot allow considering as the method of hardening inside as an imperialism army.

Simultaneously, it is opposed to the invasion of Afghanistan by the U.S.-British army used as the excuse of three bills decisively. This invasion is just national TERORU of the U.S. and Britain to the Afghanistan people. And I think that what a "terrorism [ anti-] encircling net" encircling net [ centering on the United States ] Becoming has the purpose of maintaining and strengthening the oppression and **** to the public whom global capitalism produces. We demand the following things from this viewpoint decisively in opposition to the cooperation in sending troops and "retaliation war" to the Middle East of the Self-Defense Forces.

• Don't dispatch of Self-Defence Force overseas, and war cooperation. Stop preparation of dispatch instantly.
• Don't reconstruct and strengthen the Self-Defense Force.
• Stop defense research.
• Extext information.
