グレンデール市に慰安婦像を建てた市議に対する公開質問状（Facebookで提出済み）：

Dear Mr. Zareh Sinanyan,

According to the US military research conducted in 1944 on the comfort women allegedly mobilized by the Japanese military were millionaires with annual income amounting to 1 million dollars.

Should we call them "SLAVE"?

（1944年の米軍の調査によると、慰安婦の年収は1億ドルだった。これを奴隷と呼べるだろうか？）

Actually, there were some women hoaxed to go to the place believing as if he/she would work as an army civilian employee, such as a nurse, cook or something like that.

（普通の看護婦とか料理人とかの仕事だと騙されて連れていかれた人もいるでしょう。）

But take a moment and imagine this.

Would you want to protect someone who believed the work offered to him/her as normal that was said to pay him/her $20,000 in advance & $75,000 monthly?

I wouldn't.

（しかし、2万ドルを前金で、75000ドルを毎月支払うなんていう仕事を普通の仕事だと考える人を弁護したいですか。私はいやです。）

Because I can't trust anyone who said he/she was deceived by someone with such a fantastic and surreal proposal.

I believe that they had been aware that it would not be a normal work before accepting the proposal.

（なぜならば、私は、そんな非現実的な話に騙されたと訴える人を信用しないからです。私は、彼らが実情を知る前にすでに知っていたと考えています。）
