I agree with you, Ed. And to be honest, I think Japan and China should take a more pro-active role in balancingand stabilizing the world, specially the Middle East. For too long, we have kept our interests and bickering over uninhabited pieces of rocks (Senkakus / Diaoyutai) . It keeps us myopically inclined only to our region. Japan has investments and designs in Africa, the Middle East that are in the Billions upon Billions. The same goes for China, which is the largest investor in African development as well as in the Middle East. Why should we only be limited to fiscal aid ? Perhaps we can be more successful due to our lack of negative interaction with Muslims and Islam. The West, well, they've had the Crusades , which puts them already in negative light towards the inhabitants in the Middle East.
I say this: Perhaps its time for China and Japan take a pro-active role in global peace and security. We are, afterall, the 2nd and 3rd largest economies in the world. Our Armed Forces, combined, could more than eviscerate threats to global and regional peace there in the Levant.
Japan is now involved because our citizens are being threatened. Our investments are either destroyed or being destroyed. We cannot just sit in our homes , sealing ourselves away from outside threats and the ravages of the world. If we wait too long, I fear there will be terror bombings and attacks in Japan and China. Thus, Japan and China must be pro-active.
Remember the concept of : 陰陽
Harmony is only ensured when and if the 陰 is prevented from dominating 陽. We cannot sit and wait and allow 陰 to fester and dominate.
To protect ones' interest oversea militarily is what USA always do. PRC call it imperialism. 帝国主义
Hypocritically PRC has pull that shot on Vietnam and Korean War.
I have a mix bag feeling for Sunni in this case.
Yes the Sunni ISIS is piece of shit. No doubt. But if they succeed in creating an Islamic State, sooner or later, they may merge into GCC. GCC now is increasingly looking like state. That is the first step of Arab unification.
Their atrocity now may bring peace, advancement and prosperity to the future, provided they succeed.
Imagine if someone intervene in Japan Boshin War in the name of maintaining peace.
Today Japan will be a shit hole if that happens.
