世界には、今だに独裁者が存在し、それに牛耳られてしまっている国家も少なくないようです。この現代に於いて、いくつかの戦争を経ても、そこからの学びは無いかのようです。かく言う日本に於いても、敗戦国として、二度と戦争を起こさない・参戦しない誓いに基づき、平和世界の最先鋒としての役割を果たすべきなのですが、今の政権与党を見る限りは、北朝鮮に危機を煽り、Jアラートやらでの大騒ぎ、正に危機を煽って防衛予算を上積みし、戦争が出来る国家へ逆戻りしようとしているではありませんか! マスコミもこれらの動静を客観的に論評すべきです。しかし、現状では政府の思う壺にはまって国民を扇動する方向で騒いでいるとしか見えません。ハッキリ言って、どいつもこいつもバカです。
