〔アベノ政治を許さない!〕◆ アベが祖父の岸信介の膝の上で抱かれている写真……この夏の日本で新たな意味を持つ ―― ニューヨーク・タイムズが分析 / アベ・シンゾーの「日本と軍」を再定義しようとする企てに、(岸家の)家族の歴史がこだましている!
★ 英霊たちも青ざめそうな、おぞましい歴史である。
なぜ、岸信介はA級戦犯なのに、戦争犯罪に問われなかったのか?
日米開戦後(前ではなく、後の1942年 日米捕虜交換前)、なぜ岸は、なんの目的で、米国の駐日大使のグルーと、敵性スポーツのゴルフを興じたのか? (⇒ こちら 参照)
安倍晋三は、岸信介と米国の関係の闇の申し子ではないか!

〔★は大沼〕◎ Shinzo Abe’s Bid to Redefine Japan and Its Military Has Echoes of Family History
(13日付け)⇒ http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/14/world/asia/japan-military-shinzo-abe-family-history.html?_r=0
・ The scene, and the parallels between Mr. Abe and Mr. Kishi, who died in 1987, have taken on renewed significance in Japan this summer.
・ But he remains stubbornly true to his long-held ambition to reshape Japan’s national identity, stripping it of what he sees as a self-destructive pacifism while establishing some independence in military matters from the United States, the wartime enemy that became the country’s postwar ally and protector.
・ “Kishi wanted to clear away the remnants of the war, but he felt he was never able to complete the task,” said Yoshihisa Hara, a professor at Tokyo International University, who interviewed Mr. Kishi extensively several years before his death. “Abe worships his grandfather, and he’s taken up his mantle.”
・ Where Mr. Kishi cultivated the United States as a shield against Soviet communism, Mr. Abe’s concern is the growing regional might of China, whose relations with Japan remain marred by disputes over maritime territory and wartime history.
・ Mr. Abe shares a comeback story as well as a worldview with his grandfather. Mr. Abe is having a rare second stint as prime minister, after resigning once in 2007 amid health problems and political-funding scandals in his cabinet.
Mr. Kishi’s comeback was more dramatic: After serving in Japan’s wartime government, he spent three years in American detention as a suspected war criminal, though he was never charged. When he returned to politics it was as a Cold War anti-Communist, complete with American support and funding.
・ “In his mind, that’s the heroism that defines his grandfather,” said Mr. Hara of Tokyo International University. “Abe isn’t ready to leave office yet, but on some level, he may eventually want to go out the same way.”
