| Nonsense |
| You seem to talk quite nonsense here. It is mainly Korea and China which are upset about the way Japan treats its own history. Not only do they not apologise for their crimes committed during second world war but they are continuing their provocations by visiting the shrine where some prominent war criminals are buried. If the Americans urge the Japanese to apologise then it is not to divide Japan, Korea and China but in the contrary to bring them together. So your statement is just a non issue. |

| Innocent Japanese were interned by America during the Second World War, when are they going to compensate them? And they were American citizens. The allies also fought the Italian and German armies, why were not German and Italian Americans interned? |

| Western from the USA, why did the white plantation owners in the deep south of your country not release the slaves before your civil war. Did it have to take the loss of half a million of your soldiers, from both the north and south just to prove a stupid point. The Spanish and others had left America long before that. |

| They were compensated |
| from Ireland, you trying to make stuff up? The U.S. citizens that were interned in the U.S. during World War II were compensated. First in Nineteen Forty Eight for lost property and land and then in Nineteen Eighty Eight for each person. In Nineteen Eighty Eight, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which gave an apology for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation stated that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership" and beginning in Nineteen Ninety, the government paid reparations to surviving internees.
See the U.S. admits it mistakes.

You would almost think that the Japanese attacked the Americans first. Hey, wait a minute, they did dint they?

And really, why did so many Irish have to leave your island paradise and come to the US which was so bad? In fact, there are quite a few more Irish in the US than there are in Ireland. Kind of says it all. Reason, a so called Arab intellectual wrote some papers about the US and slaves and it is now part of the point sheet that these guys have to make. It is not like they outlawed it long before us, or indeed in the Arabic case I do not believe it is even illegal now. They like to try to believe that they are better than us, but all one has to do is scratch the surface a little. Its not like they treat their people better than we treat ours. Its not like these countries are ideally fair to everyone. Ireland had a population of eight million during our civil war. They have about three million now. |

| Bobby from America. the Japanese economy is the fourth largest in the world and their technology is far more advanced than the American. the Chinese economy is the sexond largest in the world although their people are not that rich. South Korea is among the top twenty in richest nations. Everything you buy is " made in China, Korea, Japan" the only American things are " weapons, ford and MC Donalds" and that means, the only good American invention is Ford cars. and the good Asian inventions? cars, toys, robots, computers, rice, soy food. and all of them are usable. So if you Americans do not buy Asian products, then you are moving backwards in time. |

| Which nation has an impeccable past history? For most it is a series of missteps and mistakes. It is more important we learn from mistakes and walk the higher ways that we will not repeat the same mistakes. Up to this day the Japanese govt. has never convincingly admitted their wrongs during world war two and even attempted to rewrite and distort history in their school textbooks. These of course is a perpetual angst with nations they had occupied and denigrated within living memory. The American advise is wise and proper to remove obstacles dividing north east Asian nations. I do not see that America's past should detract from present American efforts to promote closer trusts between Japan and her neighbours. |

I have seen democracy fail in many countries. It seems you really hate China. In every US product, there are Chinese components. For something to be made in USA, ninety five percent of the components must come from the USA. Certain products that are to be made in USA should be very expensive, especially considering that US customers are a bit cautious about their money. US cannot survive without China and the same thing goes for China itself. Just saying this to prove my point. |

| "Ryoken from Thailand 05/07/2007
Mr. Canada, I do not hate the US."
You are very right that there is no point in hating US. You seem to know China well. Allow me to enjoin. There was a street poll done in Mar.2007 in Beijing and Shanghai covering a few thousand chinese by Xinhuanet news network concerning lay chinese attitude towards US. It was enlightening as more than 66% have a favourable impession of US both culturally and as a people. I think many westerners still hold in their mindeyes China is still a Red menance which is very far from the truth now. The trade linkages both ways are close and mutually beneficial. More than this is the observable close political links developing when China voted with US and Japan to support UN sanction against N Korea under chapter 7 which ultimately involves use of force. It is clear a newer benign pragmtic paradigm is evolving in relationship between these two nations. Eschew old prejuduces for a trusting future is better. |

| To the one from Thailand: I take issue on you statement that the "US cannot survive without China". That statement is mendacious at best, if not malicious. The US does not DEPEND on China for anything for survival. Au contraire, China's rapidly expanding economy relies heavily on America's big appetite for cheap consumer goods made in China. Sweden can design some of those products, but we can not produce them cheaper than China could; our social programs demand more from our businesses. |

It would take a hundred Americans to make you believe something true where it takes you one oppressive government to believe a lie to be true. I can not judge you to hate the west, but it is clear you are at the least bias against us. I do not hate China nor do I hate the Chinese people, I hate the criminal Chinese government that is pro longing suffering of their citizens and victims like Sudanese citizens who suffer the consequence of weapon trade. It is true that some countries are not ready for democracy, but China is one that is ready. Chinese people are not savages and China has a thriving industry. It is the murderous communist party that keeps China down and as long as they are there the Chinese will never get freedom ready for it or not. |

| It is absolutely necessary for Japan to apologise ten times for those mis-conducts during that war. However, the Americans also have to apologise for the crimes of making people slaves, particularly from Africa, and the current episodes including but not limited to dis-stablising latin American states, Haditha killing in Iraq, the pre and post invasion of Iraq; and the subsequent human rights violation. The Americans should deliver one million apologies. It is very true that Americans would wish to put Japan and China in a conflict, and possibly climaxing into violence as a way of curbing those strong and growing economies, and to subjugate them to the current new phenomenon of neo-colonialism. |

| Double Standard American. |
| This claim is worth to look at.
American always double standard. They just want to be heroes. Al Gore came to our peaceful land and encourage the public to reform the people selected government. Who ever not in favour to America are bad apples. America just want to crumble the Far East after destroying the Mid East. America have serious human right violation at their own country, yet still want to be heroes in other country. America only respect their version of democracy. Why Hamas not supported? They win by election. No more respect to America. |

| Why does the West lie so much? |
| There are some solid reasons of constant denials of facts and hiding the truth. The West is based on the culture of Christianity, I mean the Bible. The Bible is based on two things, one: how to crucify the innocent people without proving guilty and two: Jesus did not and does not have a legal dad. That is why the whole western civilization is based on lies, denials and killings. To these facts are being added some other junks like nudism, sodomy etc. The whole West has been suffering from a religious and moral crisis, crisis of lack of identity since the Puritan Age. After that age, the Paradise is lost, a new Paradise is found under the realm of freedom and liberty of body and sensuality, not the hearts and souls. And I know there will be some denials of these facts as usual and the cycle of denials continues. |

| Dear dear Alex.
You are so blinded by capitalism. Ever heared about Amnesty International? Log in their site see listed violation made by USA for your people, foreigners and international. Why Hamas sent rockets to Israels. Are you reading the news? Why are Israel spying on USA? The biggest spying country on USA is Israel but US is too arrogant to admit it. Israel will take over US. Now its already 60 to 70 percent of US politician and economy is under Israel. Cowboys will be treated like the Indians. How... |

| Apologies |
| I think if the other nation (such as China) requests it of Japan, then Japan should step up to the plate. Otherwise its Japan's own prerogative. Just like the Commonwealth of Va (my state. Comment tool will not let me spell the state name out for some odd reason) officially acknowledge their faults for slavery. The United States has no right telling another nation what to do about it's past transgressions. Maybe the UN, but not the US. Japan is quite capable of making their own decisions as a nation. I mean, what's next? Its like a co-worker telling me I should say I am sorry to my mother because I took a cookie before dinner when I was five years old. I know what Japan did was far more serious than a cookie, but the US bringing up a painful past (For both Japan and and the other nations effected) and requesting an apology when they were not even involved in that aspect of the war... Its just plain silly! Silly like a cookie before dinner... |

| How can you possibly think it is ok for USA to do this? What right does it have in bossing the world around and telling countries to do things? An apology from Japan should arise from the countries that are involved. As you said, why does not USA apologise for invading iraq and creating all these refugees? Why should not it apologise for supporting Israel, or creating a monster in Afghanistan then pretending that it has nothing to do with it? The united states of America does NOT own this world, and has no right to boss us around. Instead of telling countries to apologise etc., It should first fix its own problems.. |

This problem has been proven to be a lie in Japan. However, Japanese Government did not positively advertise it.
Leftist power of Japan still believes China and Korea to be a home country. Moreover, the United States is a leftist essentially nation.

| Great article except for one problem. Sex slaves did NOT exist in wartime Japan. They were legit prostitutes hired by the Japanese military to set up brothel as a way to prevent rape. This was an acceptable thing to do back then, even the US General Headquarters had a brothel set up during its stay in Japan. Now whether the prostitutes for the military brothels were hired in a legit way or not I do not know and it\\\\\\\'s not important in this case since the military was not involved in the direct recruiting. Military did NOT kidnap anybody. If any kidnapping happened, it was done by local prostitute sellers and gangs probably. If it was done by the Japanese military, there should be a record of it, but to this day no record has been found. It\\\\\\\'s just like the WMD problem, you see. The only so called proof is the recollections of the prostitutes but their memories are highly distorted and even possibly just flat out lies. |

The Sex Slavery problem passed the Lower House in the U.S without any evidences. Simply the Mike Honda has received a lot of supports from China. He noticed about it too. In this case, just China wants to make a trouble between Japan and the U.S. Not the U.S it self.

| I do not always approve the missionary attitude of the USA. But that is not the point here. It was argued that the US want to create a problem between Japan and China / Korea. This is not true. First of all Korea is an ally of the US as well as Japan. So there is no interest for the US to divide two of their allies. Secondly: the US is sometimes too eager to point with their fingers on others, thats true. But it does not change the fact that the |

| Japanese domestic newspaper distorted the truth. Do not be deceived |
| I am Japanese, so I want to show how this topic is discussed among Japanese people.
This issue which called the sex slave issue was exaggerated by the most influential newspaper company in Japan.
They made up a fictional story that a large number of Korean women were abducted
and were forced to entertain Japanese soldiers by the Japanese Army.
But it was rejected by historians officially with the actual fact
and now the most of Japanese people includes people negative to Japan\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s wartime behaviour reached to the same perception to them.
So we Japanese people think we have to advise people who are concerned with this topic
that not to base on its misinformation of Japan\\\'s domestic newspaper, at first.
Without this correct perception, the argues with this topic will run away
and damage national interests of Japan, and finally provide unnecessary chaos to peaceful world order. |

| Why not the US? Because we lost more than fifty thousand troops fighting for your freedom from Communist expansion. Do not forget, this was botched colonialism at its height on the part of the French and British. We were there cleaning up West European fiascos with US money and the lives of our youth. North Vietnam, Russia, France, and Britain should be apologising to US. Your reasoning is quite faulty. You are equating an alleged sex trade practice perpetrated by troops with the tragedy of war. Learn how to write. The only reason you have this job is because you are Asian. |

| Lawyer Benny, You know and I know |
| That U.S. Government does not send men to fight in other nations unless their private corporations are making mega bucks for inflated cost of war. Oscar chin leer, who was a war profiteer mega businessman in Germany, said that war is good profits. Aristotle said that all wars are fought for money. It is not about how many men died, they really do not care. It is always about money. George regime are doing all they can to spend and make sure they receive hundreds of billions dollars of taxpayers money for decades to come. Peace to the world. |

| That is the problem. US citizens get blamed for the greed of corporate America, particularly for the greed of Defense contractors. I agree with Thailand, because we are a Democracy, we are partly to blame for putting people who would be so manipulated in office. But, here, any underlying reconciliatory message seems to be met with fierce opposition in an attempt to keep the common people in all countries, US included, from the enlightenment of the inherent underlying materialism of war. When you and the other US bashers assume this tact, you play right into corporate America\\\'s hands. But, other countries have defense contracting nationals and foreign nationals as well. Why do you jump on this it is all the US and its evil axis that is responsible bandwagon? |

| U.S. wants to act like they are the leaders of the world and always interfering in other nation affairs. U.S. corporations are the largest Arms dealer in the world and they take no responsibility how these weapons are used and who they go too. Criticism should start at the top, not at the bottom for which it always does. Guns rush illegal invasions, occupation, being blind to ones own crimes but sees others, these all are weapons of mass destruction. George regime needs to stop gagging at a nit accusing other nations of crimes and swallowing an ostrich, committing the most horrors and quality of crimes. U.S. needs to get on the right take itself. Peace to the world.

| I agree with you about your view of war. But at the same time I think you and all Americans have to control the insane U.S.'s democracy and George regime. One of the most excellent Japanese sociologist says that the U.S.'s military action is the most major factor increasing people who decide to shoot the arrow of terrorism against U.S. Hatred of invasion and distraction brings up them, he says. I think you Americans must control your democracy and prevent destructive military policy of your government in order to annihilate terrorism. U.S. is one of the best friend of Japan. You too. So please do not forget how you Americans control your democracy and your government is the most decisive key to save the world and to annihilate terrorism. |

| Once again thank you very much for writing what we would like to say.
Let me correct the number of the dead people. In Hiroshima, one hundered fourty thousand citizens, in Nagasaki seventy thousand citizens just for seconds and in Tokyo, about one hundred thousand citizens just over night. These people were brutally burned with atomic light and fire (the case of Tokyo). Many other cities were also attacked by the US bombers and many citizens were brutally burned to death. The victims were childeren, ladies, old men and women.

| I know American love to talk about Pearl harbor surprise attack by Japan in wartime. But actually US gov. knew it in advance because they could monitor our correspondence. And Japan sent our declaration of war after one hour. That was due to Japan failed to send it first and then delayed.That was not intention.
US gov. knew about those things, but did not inform US people. Why? because they wanted to make many US people driven into fury against Japan. Completely same as 911 attack. US gov. use US people in order to make them join slaughter like atomic bombings, and invasion into Iraq. US gov. released many public documents about war after time expired ot keep secret. We read it. Please, US people, read those documents, and study about your country more and more, before you believe US is JUSTICE. |

The South was disproportionately composed of Irishmen, who abused the Republican system of the US legislature to force the moral blight of slavery upon the rest of us, despite the fact that they were heavily outnumbered by people who wanted to end slavery. So its your fault. Why did we have to fight over it? Because we felt like it. Would you be unwilling to fight for emancipation? |
