I thought the robots ruled Japan

When PM Abe attempted to retract the apology to the "Comfort Women" of WWII and reclassify them as willing contractors as opposed to abused sex slaves he set off alarm bells amongst his Asian neighbors.

Hopefully the next Japanese PM will be a little more aware that even though Japan has chosen to pretend the abuses of Imperial Japan during World War II never occurred, the Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, and other occupied people of Imperial Japan's "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere", as well as the incarcerated Allied Soldiers, know better through first hand experience.

It's hard to imagine Japan's leaders ever showing remorse or issuing an offical apology for what occurred in WWII, they aren't wired that way, but the next PM should try to listen less to the madness of Japan's Right Wing Nationalists, and maintain a humble silence on this sensitive issue.

But Abe is not alone. The leadership of Australia, India and Poland, other countries whose regimes have remained close to Bush are also in trouble. And, of course there's Pakistan. In a democratic country, it is very dangerous politically to allign with an imperialistic country that has been responsible for hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian deaths. Mammon worshipping moral degenerates who want to impose their standards on other countries are no in good repute. Repugnants take note, then you won't be suprised when you find that many of the "Christian Conservatives" remember the Christian part of their appellation. Phrank

They have been mired in that war with Godzilla

That is what you get and deserve for standing too close to Bush

quislings?

It was not unexpected.He should have resigned
after the results of the Upper House elections.
His choice of has- been politicians recently was
a huge mistake and the resulting corruption
exposed in his elected parliament was the
final rock to sink his boat.
However the choice for the next PM is
limited to say the least.
More of the same for years to come from
a political party,stuck in the past.
Japanese politicians need to grow up
or nothing will change here for
another 50 years.

seems like the coalition quislings can't get elected at home.
The cheese stands alone.
thank you jeezus.
