You don't read, then stop posting to me. The information and history of the 'guilt syndrome', as you put it, is there in the post.

First: It is not normal that one can kill a thread by posting a massive tome and then claiming that anyone who doesn't read it has no business posting. You can, you know, make your own points without just quoting someone else. Besides, I did read most of it, and its just as I thought. I am not disputing anyting in it at all. We have no disagreement on the facts. I just don't believe it is a worthwhile endeavor to seek insincere apologies or for others to offer them. And I would add that any apology made by people who didn't do anything wrong on behalf of people who did is insincere.

I have no idea what this says.

The government can apologize, or--in the case of Japan--the emperor can, as they are close to the embodiment of the millennia-old entity referred to as "Japan." Japan can apologize even if individual Japanese don't.

Furthermore, their are still Japanese alive who fought in World War 2, including some who participated in these war atrocities.
