I dont feel like arguing over the whole post-Japan/WWII issue again. It has been done over and over and over.

Germans f***ed France fifty years ago. But, they made sincere apologies and educated their young people about how wrong they behaved. Now German-France(EU) alliance is strong. It is not only the French. Even the Iraelis invited the Germans for WWII memorial. But,they conspicuously left out the Japanese. Why? Because Japan still has not made sincere apologies. Some Japanese politicians still insist that Japan did nothing wrong. Japanese young people know nothing about war crimes their fathers have committed. How can Koreans trust these liars? Japan, you need to change. Please learn from Germany! Japan, learn from Germany.

Well, I guess it is better than nothing, given that General MacArthur's statue was off limits and a Yasukuni Shrine visit would have been difficult to explain to Korea's freedom-fighter-indoctrinated youth.
