Japan asks RP, MILF for 'moderation' in Basilan

Errr why? Somehow, the Japanese government has struck me to be either too naive of the situation in Mindanao or excessively drunk with their pacifist crap. I say the Japs should just leave it to the Philippine government to deal with bothersome troublemakers like the MILF. To do otherwise is simply legitimizing and recognizing the MILF as a credible organization, which is, even in the most bizarre circumstances, a laughable idea to begin with.
