Komitsuki; They aren't going to stop paying homage to shrines with wardead, saying their apologies don't matter becuase of this is silly. I'm sorry but I'm calling you on this one. Obama payed respects at Arlington and guess what? Southern dead from the Civil War are intered there. National leaders are expected to perform these functions at thier national cemeteries.

I mean really, shouldn't the Korean leaders meet at thier shrines to honor their war dead? even if some of those fallen were probably war criminals as well? Believe me all war shrines will have certain individuals buried there that were prolly war criminals. Still, most died serving thier respective countries as honorably as they could, self sacrifice, that's what's being honored when they visit these sites.
