Ladies and gentlemen, it’s great to be back with you and, as you may know, I’ve just returned from a weeklong trip to Japan. I was there to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the reversion of Okinawa to Japan by the United States - an act that has made a lasting impression, I might add, on the Japanese people. While I was there, Japan announced its commitment to join with the United States in assisting Eastern and Central Europe with a $400 million aid package. We also announced a manufacturing technology initiative that will allow American engineers to gain experience working in Japanese businesses. Japan and the United States are allies and partners. Though we have had our differences, especially in the area of trade, our two countries, with 40 percent of the world’s GNP, are committed to a global partnership on behalf of peace and economic growth. But in the midst of all these discussions of international affairs, obviously I was asked many times in Japan about the recent events in Los Angeles.From the perspective of many Japanese, the ethnic diversity of our culture is a weakness compared to their homogeneous society. I beg to differ with my host. I explained that our diversity is our strength and I explained that the immigrants who come to our shores have made and continue to make vast contributions to our culture and to our economy. It is wrong to imply that the Los Angeles riots were an inevitable outcome of our diversified society. But the question that I tried to answer in Japan is one that needs answering here. What happened? Why? And most importantly, how can we prevent it in the future?
One response has been predictable. Instead of denouncing wrongdoing, some have shown tolerance for rioters. Some have enjoyed saying “I told you so.” And some have simply made excuses for what happened. All of this has been accompanied by pleas for more money. I’ll readily accept that we need to understand what happened, but I reject the idea that we should tolerate or excuse it.
