Hatoyama negative about U.S. sending more troops to Afghanistan+
TOKYO, Nov. 4 Kyodo - Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama said Wednesday it will be ''extremely difficult to bring peace to Afghanistan by enhancing the military means,'' expressing a negative view about the United States sending more troops to the war-torn country.
''I don't mean to deny all military methods,'' Hatoyama said, but added that
the United States ''has failed in Iraq, and that's what Mr. Obama admits.''
''The most desirable thing is to offer more peaceful support, such as in the
fields of agriculture and infrastructure building,'' the premier said,
stressing the importance of the civilian aid Japan plans to offer to
Afghanistan.
