I simply don't get it. It is illegal in Germany not to know of the holocaust, as well as any proclaimations of naziism. Yet Japan, that outwardly proclaims to be a humble nation yada yada yada bullshit goes forth to do this.
On the anniversary of the end of WWII PM Koizumi goes and worships Class A war criminals.
The equivalent of Germans today going and worshipping Hitler while saying that the holocaust never happened.
An Osaka court has already ruled it unconstitutional for the PM to visit the shrine.
Pathetic, Japan needs to acknowledge the massacres and war crimes she commited. Pearl Harbor, Nanking, Manchuria, these were not attacks forced onto you, you attacked these unarmed ppl cowardly.
