I protest against the deployment of PAC3 into the City of Kurume, and urge

to stand up for eliminating the dangerous space war machine.

本日２月２４日，久留米市の高良台に，ＰＡＣ３がこっそりと配備された．
本日はまた，われわれ「はばもうＰＡＣ３ 活かそう９条 九州ネットワーク」が久留米市長に提出した公開質問状に対し，
市側が回答を延期し，この日に回答すると知らせたまさにその日である．配備の日程を知っていながら，まさにその日に
「日程を公表しない」と回答した．この点では実質的な回答拒否となった．
Today, on Feb.24th, PAC3 was secretly deployed to Kouradai in the City
of Kurume.
This was the very day when we, P-Net, were supposed to have answers from the city authorities
to our questions, after they had postponed it. They told us, on the very
day of the deployment,
that they would not ‘disclose the date of deployment. ‘
This notification has become their actual refusal to answer our questions.
高良台へのＰＡＣ３配備は，かつて「スターウオーズ」と呼ばれた宇宙への軍拡の一環であり，久留米市をその一拠点
にすることにほかならない．これを久留米市が許すことは，みずからが制定した「核兵器廃絶平和都市宣言」に反する
ものである．
PAC3 deployment into Kouradai is part of the space militarization once called ‘Star Wars,’
which inevitably would doom the city to one of its established positions.
For the City of
Kurume to allow this deployment goes against ' The Declaration for Peace and the Abolition
of Nuclear Weapons' the city itself adopted.
本日われわれに届いた市長からの回答は事務的と言えるような内容で，大いに失望する．要するに国のやることに口出し
はしない，国の指示どおりにやる，というもので，問題の内容についての言及は一切ない．これでは自治体の長としての
責務を放棄している
に等しい．
We are very disappointed at the content of the reply, almost business-like,
having no reference to
the issues we have questioned, as if to say that the city will not meddle
in what the central
government does, being in obedient compliance with its direction. This
attitude tells us that
the Mayor has almost abandoned his duty as head of this municipality.
ノーベル賞物理学者の益川敏英氏，米国の平和運動家ブルース・ギャグノン氏、韓国の平和運動家ウックシック・チェン、
サン・ヒー・チョイを始め，内外から市長に寄せられた幾多のメッセージが吟味された形跡も，文面からは全く見られない．
From the reply by Mayor , we cannot see at all whether or not he has considered several messages
sent to him from inside and outside Japan, including Prof. Hidetoshi Masukawa,
the Nobel Prize
winner for physics, and Mr. Bruce Gagnon, a peace activist in the USA,
and Sung-Hee, Choi and
Wooksik Cheong , peace activists in South Korea.
今回市長に寄せられた韓国の人々からのメッセージにもあるように，地域の緊張を高めることなしに軍事力を拡大すること
は不可能である．しかも在日米軍や、違憲の「敵地攻撃」能力までも持とうとしている自衛隊という，全体として圧倒的な
攻撃力と組み合わされた「ミサイル防衛」であれば，周辺国が脅威に感じるのは容易に想像できる．
As in the messages sent by Korean activists, military buildup can never
be progressed without
enhancing regional tension. Additionally, this is the MD system with the
overwhelming attack
capability operated jointly by the US forces and JSDFs, with the latter likely to have the
unconstitutional‘ war potential’ to attack its opponent’s soil. Therefore,
it is easy to imagine
our neighboring countries may feel threatened.
ＰＡＣ３の射程内に都合よく飛んで来たミサイルは落とせるかも知れない，ということだけでこれを容認するのか，それとも
北東アジア全体の緊張緩和，信頼醸成という道すじを重視して地域の平和を展望するのか，久留米市民，福岡県民には，
戦争と平和についての判断が身近な問題として求められている．
Now, it is our turn , as citizens of Kurume, Fukuoka, to be asked on war and peace with a
familiar question whether we should accept this deployment, thinking PAC3
could intercept
a missile conveniently coming into its range or we should envision the regional peace by
attaching importance to the process of the détente in East Asia and trust-building
in the region.
それは地域の問題であると同時に，地域を超えた想像力を求める問題である．
市民各位，県民各位の英知と行動を結集しよう．
This is not only a regional matter but also a question of gravity, transcending the localism,
demanding imagination on our part.
Let’s unite the wisdom and action of every one of us, as a resident in
this city, one in this
prefecture.
