He'd probably do it too. Should Pearl Harbor survivors ask for an apology from Japan?

Of course? While atomic bomb survivors ask for an apology, Japanese people also say they owe an apology to the US for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I've read about a meeting in the 1980's where WW2 Japanese pilots met with a group of American veterans who were survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack. If I recall correctly, an official apology was given.

Both the Pearl Harbor attack and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terrible actions and if the victims and survivors seek an official apology, it's the least they should be given.

 

Have you ever visited Japan? Today the Japanese people is the most friendly I've ever met after having visited more than 35 countries.
