I think it’s a “dog bites man” vs. “man bites dog” thing. We expect the Iranians to honor terrorists and war criminals, so it’s not really newsworthy when they do so. On the other hand, we expect (or, more accurately, hope) the Japanese to have moved on from their imperial past, and so it is newsworthy when they do things that can be perceived as honoring war criminals from their past.
I like neither side in this honoring with wreaths.
If Iran is expected to do as you suggest, then why is the American MSM’s reporting opposite of what it should be?
Agreed...we expect more from Japan.
