Time to Let Go!

Maybe you thought after 62 years, we could all just get along over here in Asia.
You would be wrong!

Exhibit A is the April 28, 2007 English newspaper, The Daily Yomiuri, published in Tokyo.

I give you two front page headlines:

First, WAR COMPENSATION DENIED,
Second, ABE EXPRESSES APOLOGY TO "COMFORT WOMEN"

The first story is about Chinese forced laborers seeking compensation. The court found against them.

The second story is about poor PM Abe trying to dis-entangle himself from the issue of the Korean ladies seeking an apology for being forced into sexual servitude for the Japanese army.

Maybe after 100 years?
