"Of course everyone wants to hear an apology. Our families were killed," said Hiroshi Shimizu, general secretary of the Hiroshima Confederation of A-Bomb Sufferers Organizations.

Don't worry, Hiroshi, 0bama will be groveling for all to see.

Why?

Why would the Japanese think THEY are the ones owed an apology?

They asked for it. They got.

We in the US are always happy when Obama leaves the country.

Not so much when he returns.

Just out of curiosity: did Japan ever apologize for Pearl Harbor? Bataan Death March?

Traitorobama’s continual bowing makes him shorter than the average Japanese height.

I mean, yeah! The Japanese were sitting there minding their Own Business and Then "BAM!" Here comes the U.S. A.A.C and Drops an Atomic Bomb.

For No Reason

And in other news, the Hiroshima Carp are in a virtual tie with the Yomiuri (Tokyo) Giants for first in the Central Division of Japanese Baseball.

Maybe the Carp will let Obama throw the first pitch at one of their games while he is in Hiroshima.

Keep in mind it’s not Japan who is asking for an apology.

Japan has never played the victim card like that.

I would lay odds that he will apologize - even if they didn’t want it.

The Big Zero should scold them for the atrocities committed by Japan during WWII. Unspeakable atrocities.

Hopefully I will never hear a millennial complain about Hiroshima. Half of these mushy head liberals wouldn’t even be here if we hadn’t bombed Japan.

For years after WWII our government still had hundreds of thousands of hospital beds in storage. If it was necessary to invade Japan to end the war we would have had hundreds of thousands of our soldiers dead or wounded.

said they aren't seeking an apology

Obama's response was that they were getting an apology whether they wanted it or not, saying, "That’s what I do".

It was only 3 weeks ago that I found out that Japan had a nuke program during WW2 and actually tested their own device (about 1/5 the size of our 1st) in February 1945. I wasn’t actually surprised that they had a nuke program; I was surprised that they were 5 months ahead of us.
We were lucky that they used up all their materials in their test and couldn’t immediately make a second device to use against us.

They should want an apology for Obama visiting.

He should fly in on a restored B-29.

Does anyone doubt that Japan or Germany would not have used the a-bomb against us if they got it first?

Of course they’re happy. They’re not sorry for the war. Only that it turned to their “disadvantage”.

I didn’t know if I would be banned for posting this picture of an actual Japanese product, so I linked it instead:

He is either going to announce a major cutback in US nuclear weapons or a major change in nuclear force posture.

this visit provides too irresistible an opportunity.

probably no apology but he would be sorely tempted to mimic the Japanese habit of professing an opportunity for **National reflection**.

that is a universally recognized code term in Japan for a non-apology apology.

they will absolutely understand and they will absolutely take that as a US apology.
