Child abduction is a crime from which no child has ever emerged unscathed. Abductions are psychological murder. And if we allow them, the US and Japanese governments will continue to avoid the conflict and tensions which this human rights atrocity brings into the relationship between our two countries. I believe that the relationship between Japan and the United States can only be improved in the long-term by efforts to resolve this crisis and put an end to Japan’s state sponsorship of child abduction.
To bring about change, we must gather some force to stop this crime from being repeated, again and again, destroying the children we have borne and loved.
“Marx says that revolutions are the locomotives of world history. But the situation may be quite different. Perhaps revolutions are not the train ride, but the human race grabbing for the emergency brake.” – Walter Benjamin
