japs didn't owe us money,Originally posted by alexkusu:The current prime minister Koizumi did apologize at the beginning of the year..
also jap did give alot of economic aid to china to help its development...in a way to say sorry.
they owe us millions of lives,
they were children and women
killed one after the other
by hundreds of thousands of participating jap soldiers
manually
not by atomic bombs
which you can't control after releasing
every individual jap soldier is a war criminal
at that time
japan was a modern civilization no different from present japan
not same time-zone as the babarians in
the movie 'Seven Swords' -
so domestic killing and massacre is ok? is that wat ur sayin?Originally posted by SBS3641G:But Tibet is part of China. Whatever Beijing did to the Tibetans is a domestic affair. Japan occupied China in breach of international law. Germany invaded much of Europe and wiped out much of the Jewish population on the continent. -
Japan is playing the Tibet card to justify its WW2 atrocities being glossed over in school books. That's a bit underhand. It is implicitly saying The Han people's actions in Tibet are to be condoned, when both are equally wrong. It is just that what Japan did went againt international law as many of its actions were committed outside Jap soil.Originally posted by alexkusu:so domestic killing and massacre is ok? is that wat ur sayin? -

jus wonderin..the international law was set up before or after the atrocities?Originally posted by SBS3641G:Japan is playing the Tibet card to justify its WW2 atrocities being glossed over in school books.

The international law was in place when the League of Nations was formed. Unfortunately, the LoN was toothless and could not prevent the world from going to war again. Later superceded by the United Nations, but the UN appears to be headed down a slippery slope these days.Originally posted by alexkusu:jus wonderin..the international law was set up before or after the atrocities?

South Korea-Japan ties depend on Japan's view on history
South Korea-Japan ties depend on Japan's view on history: ruling party leader
www.chinaview.cn 2005-08-14 13:08:08
SEOUL, Aug. 14 (Xinhuanet) -- South Korean ruling party leader said Sunday that the future of the relationship between South Korea and Japan largely depends on how Japan looks on the countries' shared history. The two countries had agreed to designate this year as "South Korea-Japan Friendship Year" and planed to hold more than 700 events to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic normalization.
But the South Korean government has been forced to cancel a large number of the events this year, following Tokyo's approval of textbooks that many critics here believe distort the countries'shared past and repeated claim to a disputed islets which both the two countries claimed their own territory.
Moon Hee-sang, chairman of the ruling Uri Party, made the remarks in a written interview carried by local major news agency Yonhap.
"The most important thing in Japan's efforts to become a world leader is to win the trust of its neighboring countries," Moon said. The interview was made on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of liberation from the Japanese colonial rule.
Moon, who also co-heads a friendly association of South Korean and Japanese legislators, said the countries will only be able to put the past behind when there is complete trust between the countries, but claimed Japan has yet to make sincere efforts to win South Korea's friendship.
Moon's remarks also came on the eve of celebration of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from the Japanese colonial rule on the next Monday. Japan colonized the Korean Peninsula from 1910 through 1945.
Moon pointed out although a number of Japanese leaders have had offered apologies for their country's invasion and hostile occupation of some Asian countries and regions during the World War II, but their apologies have been made "meaningless" by an equally large number of Japanese leaders saying the opposite.
"It would not be an overstatement to say that the very foundation of South Korea-Japan relationship depends on Japan's recognition of correct accounts of history," he said.
"That is why we are continuously asking Japan to make a sincere apology and reflect on its past wrong doing through action," he added.
One way for Japan to show its sincerity, according to Moon, would be to compensate Korean victims of its colonization.
"If Japan wishes to be viewed as a peace-loving country and improve its friendly relationship with South Korea through true reconciliation, Japan would have to take a lesson from Germany in bearing its war responsibilities," he said.
As many as 200,000 women on the Korean Peninsula are believed to have been forced to work as sex slaves for the Japanese military during World War II, but the Japanese government continues to claim they worked as prostitutes voluntarily and refuses to pay reparations.
Also, millions of Korean men were either killed or forced into labor during Japan's colonial rule of Korea.
"The mutual trust between the countries' peoples is most important in our efforts to improve the countries' ties based on aspirit of friendly cooperation," Moon said, calling on the Japanese government and its people to take "extraordinary steps" to offer a heartfelt apology and sincerely atone for its past.
Moon said the relationship between South Korea and Japan has matured enough to survive what he called recent difficulties, including history and territorial conflicts.
"But we still need to increase and expand mutual understanding between the countries' peoples by supporting and promoting civilian exchanges between the countries," he said.

SEOUL, Aug. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Civilian delegations from South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday issued a joint statement condemning Japan's distortion of history.
"The Japanese government should stop distorting history and cooperate in regional efforts to discover historical truths," saidthe statement issued on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean peninsula from Japanese colonial rule.
The statement denounced the recent remarks in some Japanese circles that Japan's aggression of Asian countries and regions is "liberation war."
This "is completely a distortion of history which goes against the trend of times," said the statement.
The statement also pointed out militarism is resurging in Japanas Japan is continually expanding its armament, strengthening military cooperation with the United States, and causing more conflicts with neighboring countries.
"Japan should give appropriate compensation for victims of its past wrong doings," the statement said.
The joint statement urged Japanese politicians and government officials to discontinue glorifying its wartime past and apologize for its military aggression.
The DPRK government and civilian delegates arrived here on Sunday to attend joint celebration events commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Korean Peninsula's liberation from 36 years of Japanese colonial rule.
The DPRK delegation, together with some 50,000 South Korean people, attended Sunday's opening ceremony of the "Independence, Peace and Reunification Festival" here.
On Monday, the DPRK delegation visited a prison built during the Japanese colonial rule.
The DPRK delegates are to return to Pyongyang on Wednesday. Enditem -
