Japan finally apologies

[Ramseth]

Devil Within has a point. War is war and war crime is war crime.

Napoleon waged war and lost too, but nobody accused him of war crime.

He conducted it in a fair manner.

well, here in the u.s., an imam is trying to set up a mosque on ground zero at the former world trade center in manhattan to enshrine the dead muslims involved in the 9-11 terrorist attacks. these mudderfuggers are no different from the mudderfugging japs.

Different. The Japs set it up in Japan, not China or Korea or SEA.

The supporters of 9/11 terrorists want to set it up in Manhattan, well, that's something.

the group of class a war criminals could have been buried in a different shrine at a different location, but why lump them with other dead soldiers at yasukuni? the americans who occupied japan and led the war crimes prosecution, especially macarthur, approved of it.

once buried, according to shinto tradition, spirits of the dead mingle and become one, indistinguishable from one another. war criminals became heroic soldiers, indistinguishable from those who truly sacrificed their lives for their country in virtuous and heroic feats.

Macarthur knew nuts about Shintoism.

macarthur actually consulted christians ministers about the shrine...

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/05/post_10.html

'The Yasukuni shrine was established shortly after the Meiji Restoration as the Shokonsha, then was renamed Yasukuni in 1879. During the Allied Occupation after World War II, the U.S. authorities ordered that the Shinto religion be separated from the state. Yasukuni became a private shrine.

A majority of the Occupation staff favored burning down the shrine because they considered it to be a symbol of militarism. General Douglas MacArthur, the supreme commander, however, asked a panel of Christian ministers for their view.

In a written reply, they said the shrine should be preserved. "Every nation has the right and duty to pay respects to the people who died for the nation," their report said. "This must be equally true for either the victor or the vanquished." Destroying the shrine, they said, "would leave a dishonorable stain on the history of the United States military."'

it was in 1974 when the ruling party ldp passed the yasukuni jinja ho-an, a bill to nationalize the shrine and enjoy full government support. american occupiers wanted to burn it down, but macarthur stopped it. it didn't pose a problem post-war until 1974 because it was a private shrine, without formal government recognition. moreover, it was not a cemetery. ashes of the dead were returned to family and relatives.

the problem with yasukuni started in 1974 at japan's ascendancy on the economic world map (coinciding with u.s. losses in vietnam and eventual withdrawal in 1975). there was a sense of national pride and power, and the idiots at ldp had to re-vitalize the jap spirit, taking a stab at u.s. shame in vietnam. americans should have bombed the shit existence out of japan when she had the chance in ww2.

btw, hirohito refrained from visiting the shrine after the war.

i expect this ongoing yasukuni drama to end with a big bang from nukes coming from north korea.

My personal opinion and restraint aside, North Korea does look very pissed.

I hope not but won't be surprised if they nuke it.

It is War Atrocities and White Wash for General Public.
Tracing the Brutal Evidence of 50,000 Chinese Massacre in Singapore known as Sook Ching Massacre

During World War II, thousands of Chinese men and some women and children lost their lives as a result of a ruthless cleansing exercise conducted by the Japanese. Namely Operation Sook Ching (Clean-up), it was supposedly intended to eliminate only those Chinese who were involved in anti-Japanese activities. But identification methods were arbitrary and in reality many innocent Chinese people were taken away and either shot or bayoneted.

Official figures of the number killed is about several thousands but local sources say the true figure is closer to 50,000. Sook Ching was carried from 18 February to 4 March 1942.

All Singaporeans must remember the Dark History and never to let history repeat. "We can only forgive but not forget'' provided that the general population in Japan know about the truth which is not the case. Its known as White Wash.

"Japan were victims too", they were duped into attacking China by Moscow/Stalin.

anyway Mainland Chinese should thank Japan for their war efforts in China because the war saved their beloved Chinese Communist Party from total destruction. :(

always remember military don't start wars. Politicians start wars .

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good .

 

[drifter]

There is no reason to repeat bad history.
