SHIMA, Japan — President Barack Obama said Wednesday he plans to use his historic visit to Hiroshima with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to reflect on the suffering of war and the need to take steps to prevent it. Abe said he had no plans to reciprocate Obama’s gesture by paying his own visit to Pearl Harbor.





The White House has ruled out an apology by the president for the atomic bombing, but the visit is being viewed by Japanese citizens as a conciliatory gesture.


At the same time, Abe said he had “no specific plans” to visit Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Some have called for such a trip as a sign of Japan’s acknowledgement of its wartime actions.

The surprise attack by the Japanese military on Dec. 7, 1941, killed more than 2,400 people, wounded scores and led the United States’ entry into World War II.


Abe called on the American people to take rigorous and strict steps to prevent another incident in the future.

you are absolutely missing the point.

politicians(diet members) leaning right have said PM should visit Perl harbor so that Obama visit have meaning of apologies.

This is criticized by some so that he made clear it would not happen

Unsurprising. Japan has a history of not taking responsibility or acknowledging their crimes.

Well, I think it's a bit rude if Obama took a visit to Hiroshima, but honestly, for how long are generations going to apologise for wars they never fought themselves?

Like, I want Putin to apologise for stealing Finland from us, and then the Danes should apologise for trying to steal back Scania from us which they did more than once those sneaky bastards.

There wasn't a state or country to speak of before the Swedes started to explore what is now Finland. However, it did live Finnish tribes there, and they converted to Christendom and then accepted the Swedish king as their own. Finland was never a colony or protectorate to Sweden - it was an integrated part of it.
What is Finland today evolved within Sweden and later the Russian Empire. It's a young ccountry, but its people and culture is much older.

I see , thanks for the answer.
it was always confusing for me , because their langauge is separate , so I thought they were their own country.
so those finnish tribes are the ones who originally spoke the finnish right ? kinda like the samis ?

It's easy to make that assumption, in fact, the vast majority of Swedes don't even know that Finland has been a part of our country

They are quite different - Finns and the Sami folks, but yes they share the same linguistic source of origin. The ancestral tribes to modern day Finns were Finns (tribe), Karelians and Tavastians. All of them spoke Finnic dialects.

Neither side has anything to apologize for.Horrible things happen in war.The men that had anything to do with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the dropping of the atomic bombs are either dead or in nursing homes.

Apologizing for things that happened during war makes absolutely no sense.

Nobody has anything to apologize for, it was a war also none of them were even alive during that war anyway.
