Like sense_less143, I don't follow the case because to me, it's rather redundant.
Sure, the Japanese have committed the offence during WW2, but it's a war and it every war there will be crime committed, heck the war itself is a crime to humanity. And in every war, your enemies are the heroes of their own country. While the victim thinks that their actions violates them, to the enemy, it may be a right thing to do. They, after all is at war with you, they don't have to think about your well being. If they do, they won't even be attacking your country. It's cruel, every war is cruel.
I think the issue was over-hyped. Sure, they want apologies, but heck what can the apologises do to your life? It makes you feels better? I doubt it. Rape isn't something you can forgive with a mere sorry and monetary refund, it stays in your mind for a very long time. It's so much more productive to move on with your life.
Admit history? What history? History are biased in the winner eyes. Japanese may have lose the war, but in their homeland, they still fought bravely for their emperor, they are still heroes in their country. Why would they even care about you? (Logically, no enemies will give a damn about some unnamed victim they trampled upon).
Hmm harsh, but I guess that's your view. still, i feel that it'd be better if they apologised. Then the case would go away by itself and not be that big a deal anymore.Sure, the Japanese have committed the offence during WW2, but it's a war and it every war there will be crime committed, heck the war itself is a crime to humanity.

on another note, I do feel that wars are cruel, but I think it's necessary for humankind progression as well. I don't like war, but looking back in history, because of war something or other necessary for humans was invented. Like penecilin (that's panadol for you), computers, ect. I cant think of more examples right now, but desperation accelerates technology.
I mean, we're on lowyat right now because of wars (internet was invented in the military btw). Funny how things turn out sometimes.

Both of you has made me realize that how true your thought about this issue and this kind of thought is also a form of a person strength. Sharing you view makes people learn more and re-think about a lot of things. Thank you sense_less143 for sharing the knowledge on their society and feyhime for your deep thought.
I better go do my work first before posting. Monday sure got a lot of works.
