例文A　—————————————–
The County of Fairfax
County Executive Edward L. Long Jr.,
Board of Supervisors,
Planning Commissioners,

I send my email as a Japanese who wishes seriously a friendly relation between USA and Japan.

I have learned that comfort women(prostitutes at the war) memorial has already installed at the County Government Center, and there will be an opening ceremony on May30 at 5p.m.

I feel sad, disappointed and even angry by the Installation of “Comfort Women” Memorial approved by Fairfax County Board.

Comfort Women system is not human trafficking.　If you insist that Comfort Women system is human trafficking, please give us any verified evidence as well as any name of historian saying so.

Historical views on Comfort Women between Japan, Korea and China are quite different.　This issue becomes a serious political matter among the countries.　Then, how could the monument be Peace Memorial Garden” putting aside such a problematic situation?

Many people in Japan show their anger towards the comfort women monuments installed in NY, NJ and CA. Japanese in California started a suit for removal of the statue.

I wonder if citizens of Fairfax could truly need and wish such a problematic and uneasy monument in a restful public place.

We know that American people cherish and esteem fairness, justice, and truth. We wish that this controversial issue may not cause damage to a very important friendly relation among the countries.

Sincerely,

差出人のなまえ、
市町村、県、　JAPAN

日米の友好を願う一日本人としてメールします。郡庁舎に慰安婦記念碑が設置され、５月３０日午後５時に除幕式が行われると知りました。フェアファックス郡が慰安婦記念碑設置を承認したことに非常に落胆と怒りを覚えています。慰安婦制度は、人身売買ではありません。そうだというのなら確固たる証拠を出してください。歴史家の名前をあげて下さい。日韓中国で慰安婦の歴史見解は大きく違います。深刻な政治問題になっています。そのような問題があるのに、なぜ　”平和記念ガーデン”なのでしょう？日本ではNY,NJ,CAに立った慰安婦記念碑に対して怒りの声が挙がっています。カルフォルニアの日本人は撤去を求めて訴訟を始めました。フェアファックス郡の皆さんは、このような像を市民の憩いの場に本当に必要だと思っているでしょうか。米国は公正・真偽・正義を大切にする国民だと信じています。このようなことで私達の友好関係が損なわれないことを心より願います。

例文B　—————————————–
The County of Fairfax
County Executive Edward L. Long Jr.,
Board of Supervisors,
Planning Commissioners,

I hope this email finds you well.

I have learned that comfort women (prostitutes at the war) memorial has already installed at the County Government Center, and there will be an opening ceremony on May30 at 5p.m.

I also read a new that the Korean Council in Washington and the Comfort Women Memorial Committee planned the memorial in an attempt to remember the hardships they endured during the World War II and to promote peace. They claim that this is a human rights issue. However, their claim is not logical on various grounds.

First, the government of Japan in fact established comfort stations (brothels) in battle zones during the WWII, and engaged private brokers to recruit comfort women to maintain psychological health of the soldiers. However, this practice was not something peculiar to Japan; other countries, including the United States, France, and Germany, also had their own system to meet the need of their soldiers. French military had Bordels Mobiles de Campagne (mobile brothels) during the WWI, WWII, and Indochina War, and the U.S. military utilized Korean brothels during the Korean War. Lacking such organized system, South Korean soldiers raped local women during the Vietnam War, and it is estimated that up to 30,000 Lai Dai Han (children born to South Korean soldiers and Vietnamese women) exist today in Vietnam, which is a clear example of human rights violation. Contrary to the Korean accusation of “Japanese sex slavery”, the U.S. army report in 1944 recorded that the comfort women servicing the Japanese army were extremely well-paid and well-treated. (http://bit.ly/1oh6f0l) The plaques on comfort women statues installed in the U.S. have statements that are not factual, thus Japanese are extremely offended and disgraced. If Japan should be called a human rights violator, then all other countries that operated comfort stations should be called the same.

Second, there is a global problem of sexual exploitation and prostitution today. According to the U.S. government, about 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, of which 80% are women and girls, mostly lured into the sex industry. In China near the border with North Korea, there are tens of thousands of North Korean female defectors who are forced into sexual slavery. A member of parliament in South Korea asserts that there are 100,000 Korean prostitutes overseas, including 50,000 in Japan and 2,500 in Australia. In the U.S., 23.5% of foreign prostitutes are Koreans. Besides, South Korean women engaged in illegal prostitution in their own country amounts to 270,000, representing 1.07% of the female population in the country. If one is serious about creating peace for women and girls, s/he should deal with such current issues. There are many human right issues, present and past, in the world, and it is not fair or logical to pick and condemn only Japan.

We know that American people cherish and esteem fairness, justice, and truth. We wish that this controversial “comfort women issue” may not cause damage to a very important friendly relation between USA and Japan.

Sincerely yours,

日本語訳：フェアファックス郡長、委員の皆様、
ご健勝のことと思います。郡庁舎に慰安婦記念碑が設置され、５月３０日午後５時に除幕式が行われると知りました。ニュースによるとワシントン韓国人会と慰安婦記念会が戦争悲惨さを忘れずに平和を願って記念碑を計画したとのことです。彼らは人権問題であると主張していますが、論理的でありません。
第一に、日本政府はWWⅡ中戦争地域に慰安所を作り、民間業者に慰安婦募集させ、兵士の精神衛生を管理したのは事実です。しかしこれは日本軍特有のものではなく、米国、フランス、ドイツの国々も自国軍隊の為にそれぞれ制度がありました。フランス軍はWWⅠ、WWⅡ、インドシナ戦争の時に移動慰安所を持っていましたし、米軍は朝鮮戦争の時に韓国慰安所を利用しました。このような制度が無い場合、韓国軍はベトナム戦争の時に現地の女性を強姦し、現在３万人の混血児が現在ベトナムにいると見られており、これこそが人権侵害の明らかな例です。韓国が「日本軍性奴隷制」というのに反して、１９４４年の米軍の報告によると日本軍の慰安婦は給料が良く待遇もよかったと記されています。米国に建てられた慰安婦像の碑に刻まれている文言は事実に基づいておらず、日本人は非常に怒り、名誉を汚されたと感じています。日本が人権侵害と言われるのであれば、慰安所を設けた他の国々も人権侵害と言われるべきです。
第二に、今日、世界的な性的搾取・売春問題があります。米国政府によると毎年８０万人が人身売買されそのうち８０％が女性・少女であり、その殆どが性産業です。中国の北朝鮮国境付近では何万もの脱北女性が性的奴隷にされています。韓国国会議員によると海外の韓国人売春婦は１０万人でそのうち５万は日本、２，５００人はオーストラリアにいるといいます。米国では外国人売春婦の２３．５％は韓国人です。さらに韓国内で不法売春の韓国女性は２７万人で、国内の女性の１．０７％の割合です。女性や少女の平和を真剣に考えるなら、このような現在の問題を取り上げるべきでしょう。現在も過去もたくさんの人権問題がありますが、日本だけを取り上げて非難するのは公正でなく論理的でもありません。
米国は公正・真偽・正義を大切にする国民だと信じています。議論となっている慰安婦問題で日米の友好関係が損なわれないことを心より願います。

The County of Fairfax
County Executive Edward L. Long Jr.,
Board of Supervisors,
Planning Commissioners,

I hope this email finds you well.

I have learned that comfort women memorial has already installed at the County Government Center, and there will be an opening ceremony on May30 at 5p.m.

First of all, I must remind you that the word “comfort women” simply signifies “prostitutes at the war”. Japanese traditional periphrastic way of expression replaced the word “prostitutes at the war” with a gentle appellation “comfort women”, respecting the human rights of prostitutes.

I deeply have compassion for hard lots of comfort women (prostitutes at the war).　But it’s a complete misunderstanding that comfort women (prostitutes at the war) were sex slaves and that the comfort women system (prostitutes at the war system) was human trafficking committed by Japanese army.

I strongly protest against the memorial l for the following reasons:

1. The comfort women (prostitutes at the war) issue is very controversial. Both sides have not come to agreement. So, it is not considered appropriate for the county to side with the Proposer.

2. It is clear that Chinese and Korean interests have been using this matter for anti-Japan propaganda on the pretext of “human rights”. This is entirely so unhealthy that conflicts, such as hate crime and children bullying may be caused. Actually, Japanese kids were reportedly bullied in the city of Glendale, California here the statue was installed last year. And Japanese in California started a suit for removal of the statue.

3. There are many human right issues, present and past, in the world. It is not fair to single out and blame only Japan.

4. Japan is a most peaceful nation in the world, and recognized and respected as such. Korea and China are only major Asian nations that show animosity against Japan. Recent Pew Research shows that 80% polled in major Asian countries show friendliness toward Japan.

5. Any local government should not be involved in international affairs. Instead, it should work on the promotion of happiness, prosperity, progress and harmony of the citizens. The memorial will definitely counteract such efforts.

We know that American people cherish and esteem fairness, justice, and truth. We wish that this controversial “comfort women issue” may not cause damage to a very important friendly relation between USA and Japan.

Sincerely yours,

日本語訳：フェアファックス郡長、委員の皆様、
ご健勝のことと思います。郡庁舎に慰安婦記念碑が設置され、５月３０日午後５時に除幕式が行われると知りました。まずお断りしておきたのは、「慰安婦」という言葉は単に戦時売春婦を指すものです。「慰安婦」という呼称は、売春婦の人権を慮って、日本の伝統的婉曲表現によりやさしい言葉に変えたものです。慰安婦（戦時売春婦）の方々が大変苦労されたことに同情を持っています。しかし慰安婦（戦時売春婦）が性奴隷であり、慰安婦制度（戦時売春婦制度）が日本軍によって行われた人身売買であるという主張は全くの誤解です。
私の反対意見を述べさせていただきます。
１．慰安婦問題は論争となっている問題です。見解が一致していません。よって市が慰安婦像提案者の側となるのは不適切です。
２．この問題は人権問題を装った反日プロパガンダであることは明らかです。ヘイトクライムや子供のいじめに繋がります。昨年像が建ったカルフォルニア州グレンデール市では子供のいじめが報告されています。日本人が撤去を求めて訴訟を起こしています。
３．世界中には現在も過去も沢山の人権問題があります。日本だけを取り上げる責めるのは公平ではありません。
４．日本は世界でも平和を愛する国として知られています。アジアの中で日本へ敵意を示しているのは韓国と中国だけです。最新調査ではアジア諸国の８０％が日本に親しみを感じています。
５．地方自治体は国際問題に関与すべきではありません。それよりも住民の幸福、繁栄、調和を促進すべきです。慰安婦像はこれに反するものです。
米国は公正・真偽・正義を大切にする国民だと信じています。議論となっている慰安婦問題で日米の友好関係が損なわれないことを心より願います。
