How Japan Can Avert a War with China and Korea

Japan's relationship with China and Korea is worsening and they appear to be heading towards war. This must be avoided by all means. My opinion is that the Japanese government should take the high road and issue an edict to its citizens that the safety of the Chinese and Koreans in Japan must be assured. Only if they treat the Chinese and the Koreans with respect and dignity, they can hope to be treated in a like manner.

The Wrongful Death of Masuno Yurika

I've been utterly depressed ever since hearing about Masuno Yurika who was murdered several hours since arriving in Romania. She was only 20 years old and her only mistake was being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I wish that someone could invent a time machine in my lifetime so that I could go back and warn her never to leave Japan. Then, perhaps she might live to be 96 after living a full life. What galls me most is that Romania doesn't even have capital punishment and so the perpetrator will never be put to death as he should be.
