Thanks for the article. After reading it I saw that it was really just a wreath laying ceremony to honor the dead, but no formal apology and they avoided Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. In that regard, I don’t have a problem with Kerry laying a wreath at Hiroshima to honor the dead, but if they don’t feel like formally apologizing, why should we? And like another poster said, I love Japanese culture and people. One of my aunts is Japanese, her father is one of the last surviving members of the 100th Infantry Battalion.
