aside from the fact that there is no "president of japan", why should they be any more guilty of fighting back against embargoes than any other sovereign nation?
Obama's task will be difficult. He could always invite the African-American college professor who declined to show his ID to the European-American police officer responding to a possible house burglary call to the podium because that was a brilliant display of his wisdom and knowledge of the world at large.
Stupidly, but very much in character, Obama agrees to visit Hiroshima which is a de facto apology for the atom bomb, without having secured an agreement for a reciprocal visit from Japan PM Abe to Pearl Harbor, the site of their despicable sneak attack which began WWII. This would would have been balanced diplomacy, but was too complex a negotiation for our Community Organizer-in-Chief. Easier just to give in, like he did with the Iranians.
You're wrong,he has accomplished plenty. he buried us in debt,destroyed our military, undermined our police. destroyed relationships with long-standing allies, completely divided the country. he turned our schools for socialist indoctrination centers. on and on and on.
Yeah I forgot about all those great accomplishments. So much for transparency, reaching across the aisle and building blah blah blah. Just watch his first term inauguration speech if anyone who supports this pin head to get a wake up call, then like usual blame it on the other guy.
What the yoohoo history buffs, obozo and liberals seem to forget is that the Japanese attacked everyone they could and killed hundreds of thousands of people in their pursuit to dominate the world including an unprovoked on our Pacific fleet that killed over 2000 of our service men and women. We were the ones of all the countries of the world that finally took them down. USA.
What does that have anything to do with this...if you do not have the brains to consider future at least attempt to understand the present....but then your tribe only has the ability to live in past.
Next up for Obama - bowing to the Japanese Prime Minister and apologizing for provoking them enough in 1941 that they had no choice but to attack us at Pearl Harbor.
Nothing this dimwit does will surpass his historical record of being the worst president the U.S. has ever had. Carter is still smiling for having been relieved of that ugly charge.
let's see, what can i do to distract the public from my complete incompetence? i know, i'll go to japan and apologize for my out of control military that keeps screwing up in okinawa, then i'll go to hiroshima to look at all the dead people. no apologies though, as is usual it was always somebody else's fault. i never do anything wrong. i have a nobel peace prize.
What are you even trying to say? Do you think Obama should take responsibility for the decision to drop atomic weaponry on Japan? That, at least, really is not his fault.
Aides say Obama's main objective in Hiroshima, where he will lay a wreath at a peace memorial, is to showcase his nuclear disarmament agenda. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for what many said were eloquent speeches on the topic.
Give it Back you Two Faced Useless POS.. How about Pearl Harbor.
You Liberals voted for this clown and I bet at least 30% of you regret it.
Here we go again. Japan started the war and we finished it. No apology needed. Has Japan apologized for Pearl Harbor or the tens of thousands of our POWs that they killed?
Typical , you don't read whole articles do you before you comment. I'll help you out like your mommy used to and tell you what it says. "Obama has said he will honor all who died in World War Two but will not apologize for the bombing of Hiroshima."
Typical idiot you are, piligon. Read my post. I never said Obama was going to apologize. I said we should never apologize. Go have fun with your mommy now, idiot.
His visit and particularly laying a wreath is an apology. Additionally, Japan can see itself anyway they want "VICTIM", America never need apologize when she is attacked, goes to war and fights it to win, using all that is available to her to win that war. The apology Obama really should make are to the American soldiers who are in harms way with their hands tied because of Obama's moronic politically correct policies
Normally I disagree with RT, but not this time, you are showing total disrespect for life, men, women, and children who had nothing to do with the war perished. You are very adolescent michael.
Then he would be showing the world just how tasteless and nasty he is, and embarrass the hell out of the U.S. Nope! We wouldn't be able to live that down for decades. Besides, Obama would have to have gone completely nutso or cranked up way high on meth to perform such a lewd act.
And those poor victims would feel violated beyond belief, if you believe in the afterlife.
Just in case nobody knows the only reason Japan surrendered is because the Russians declared on them after the 2 bombs, Cause the culture of the Emporer would be destroyed, U.S. said you can keep your Emporer.
