No, because of the japanese constitution.

I think the Japanese government had moral tasks before they sent troops to Iraq for dubious WMD's. (Japan left their real WMD's in China about 60 years ago, and they are still causing damages.)

The japanese goverment had sent troops to Iraq against the opinion of the folks. But the troops mustn't fight, because of the pacifistic constitution.

Japan is only permitted to have Defensive Forces, but soldiers were sent to Iraq nonetheless.

i can
the war is beginning in 1937
from 1937 to 1945.
japan had occupied the the 1/3 of us.
the richest part.
and japan is too small and they felt they couldnt beat us easily(before the war japanese said they can finish it in 3 months, but the fact was it lasted 8 years)

they were embarrassed

like the situation in WW1

so they remembered WMD. And used active bodies of the peaple of china, Mongolia,Korea to make their experiments and at least 100.000 were killed in their experiments (they used people like animals, )and MWD attacks

and i remember there is still 600.000 barrels of MWD burried in china.

1 month ago a abandoned barrel of mustard gas was found by some workers in north china and 1 was dead several are severely injured and they cant even walk now.

DAMN IT! and still 600.000 remaining

Ah, I said "about 60 years."
The existence of old japanese WMDs remaining in china is a well known fact as there are still damages caused by them. I think japanese government has a "moral" responsibility, at least, for making clear the information about the WMDs and processing them safe.

but japanese education books are still telling their student that their involvement in WW2 is not evil.
they just lost it

this make japanese very shocked!
"why chinese hate us?'

and china as well

Satt - Yes, about 60 years ago is right around the time of the end of WWII.

So, the WMD are leaking toxins?

This is very interesting to me.

In books of history, one would not say what war is "evil" or not, but one can describe facts of "evil" things in the war.
In the book of history of china, for example, "shiJi" Sima Qian did not depicted the wars by Qin dynasty to be evil, but he described many formidable facts by Qin.

J-B - I am not so interested in WMDs as I am in Japanese and Chinese culture and history. I have long been focused on the Japanese culture, but recently I am interested in the Chinese as well.

MAN where are you from?
China?
you know a lot about us

and actually chinese people regard Qin shi Huang as Napolean in western world

he really did a great thing: ended the 400 years' dividing

but as you say he also did some notorious things

I would point out at this time that the moniker WMD
was non-existent at the close of WWII

and that the Geneva Protocol of 1925
for the prohibition of the use in war of Asphyxiating, Poisonus or other gases, and of Biological Methods of Warfare
was not signed by Japan until 1970, and that the PRC only entered into it in 1952

Further, Id mention that Japan's Constitution was dicated by General MacArthur in 1946

At the end of WW2, the Japanese had just completed bioweapon development after a long research project, and had a plan to deploy them in California. I believe they might have done so before the war ended except for internal rivalries within the Japanese military. I am very hazy on the details of this. Maybe someone else knows more.
