Japan Supports Bush and USA With the U.S. and Britain set to drop the hammer on Iraq, Japan falls in line diplomatically. While stressing Japan was pinning its hopes on last-minute diplomatic options, officials in Tokyo on Monday shifted away from the need for a new United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing a U.S.-led attack against Iraq, and said current resolutions were sufficient. The new stance came following the weekend meeting in the Azores by leaders of the United States, Britain and Spain. Addressing the issue more frankly than in the past, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi told reporters he believed an attack was justified by existing U.N. Security Council resolutions, including the most recent-Resolution 1441. ``I believe that (an attack) can go ahead, considering past U.N. resolutions,'' Koizumi told reporters at the Prime Minister's Official Residence. asahi.com
