It is confirmed that Japan will continue to allow its airforce to support missions in Iraq. On March 30,2007, Japan’s cabinet had passed a law stating that they would continue aid to Iraq for another two years. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe feels that Japan is doing an excellent job in Iraq and that many nations are expecting Japan to play a major role in the missions in Iraq. They take pride in their works. But then thats only his opionion. Last year Japan had evacuate 600 troops from Iraq, but they are still supplying the airforce. Many Japanese are opposing the two year contract, many wanted the mission to end as soon as summer comes around. But the Japanese government had already allowed the airforce to continue its mission.
