$800 million in 1965, was a hell of a lot of money.

Now what Japan did was terrible. There’s no getting around
that. I still believe that if Japan and South Korea came up
with an agreement in 1965, it should be honored.

That would normally make separate suits go away.

If someone these days has a grievance, they should ask why
they didn’t get money from that $800 millions settlement?

Having been close to a South Korean woman (now a US citizen) in the last few years I've learned a lot...or *think* I have...about Japan's crimes in the first half of the last century. Unless I'm mistaken Japan,during those 45 years or so, committed crimes against people of East,and Southeast,Asia (including Korea) that at least equal the crimes of the Nazis...and might even surpass them.

Well, they should get paid while they’re still young enough to enjoy it.

Is this SK”s way to acquire Mitsubishi Heavy cheaply?

Korean courts are wrong to keep old wounds festering and worse, to cut them open again.

Neither nation is now the same as they were pre-WWII. It is time that the current generations of both countries be allowed to move on on the basis of who they are TODAY.
