| Post; Yes... You are right with hanging those freaks. However, some went back to goven post-war Japan and became rich along the way. Like Charge said, victims never got formal apology (Apology from the nation, not individuals) and proper compensation.
The past a few years, many comfort women (Korean, Chinese, Philipino, etc) tried to suit for proper compensation, nevertheless got rejected because of statue of limitation in modern Japanese law.
Another troublesome issue is racism in Japan: plenty of foreign workers (include western countries) can testify racist attitdue in Japan, and Asians get the worst part of it.
I think Japan should learn from the US. Although not much in turns of dollar value, the US government issued apologies and compensation to the Japanese-Americans for the WWII mistreatment during the 1990s. Now, we just learn about the history event but no longer calling for boycotts, or need of justice, or compensation for that particular event. Evreyone moved on but knows the need to prevent such injustice from happening again. |
