Amen!
But I think it is interesting that Abe is acknowledging his nation’s attack on Pearl Harbor.
Years ago a family hosting an exchange student from Japan told me the student was shocked to learn about this attack, and had to be convinced it really happened.
We were both amazed at the level of “denial” that was apparently imposed on her by a nation that accepted no blame for the evil actions it had committed in its past.

I lived in Japan from 1958-1963 and lived off the air base. I have an education that one cannot buy.
