I know you love Lake Tahoe, and I know you love to see poor little Japan sweat it out over issues regarding Yasukuni, but I'm sorry, it's not going to happen.

We are trying to create a beautiful conservative Japan and Yasukuni is a big part of it ! We are not going to crawl around on our beautiful knees just to apologize to you, especially after we've paid you so much in ODA.

But still again, it's hard for you to understand that.

And this is in the history section because? If you want to start a thread purly for the purpose of personal attacks take it into the basement. This is the wrong place for that.
 
For those unfamiliar with the topic here....(it is rather interesting as a general concept), Heres a snippet of info, and a comment:

"Yasukuni Shrine - the name means 'peaceful country' - was founded in 1869 on the orders of Emperor Meiji.

It is dedicated to the souls of about 2.5 million Japanese men, women and children who died in the name of their country since that time.

They include soldiers, war-time nurses, students who entered into battle, and those who committed suicide in shame at the end of World War II.

At the centre of the shrine's controversy is the fact that those venerated include 14 convicted class A war criminals, including Prime Minister General Hideki Tojo.

Within the shrine, the souls of the dead are worshipped rather than just remembered.

According to Japan's national Shinto religion, humans are transformed into "kami" or deities when they die, and as such are worshipped by their descendants. The kami of remarkable people are enshrined. "


If we compare this to a Christian President Going to Church on Sunday....some level of Context comes into play. Is it interesting...I suppose so. Is it Important to the vast majority of the world......Nope.

Not quite, it would be similar to a chrisitan president going to a church erected in the name of Hitler, or simply hitler is burried there and worshipped as a saint.
