Japan PM apologises to Okinawans for US bases
World News • June 2010 • Views: 508
Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan has apologised to people in Okinawa for “the burden” of US bases on the island.
It’s a tough domestic issue for any Japanese PM and a source of problems for the current ruling party.
Yet I am struck here by an actual apology by a national leader, in contrast to the alleged (by those suffering from ODS) “apologies” of President Obama to other peoples.
