As Ms. Takaichi, the Prime Minister of Japan, meets with the U.S. President on this anniversary of the attack on Iraq with the attack on Iran underway, she should agree to nothing that violates

1. The peace Constitution of Japan, imposed on Japan by the United States.

Less than two months ago, the U.S. government bombed this place, sending missiles and a huge number of planes and helicopters into Caracas, and kidnapped the president and his wife.
