Japan on World War II: We're Sorry, sort of......
Well, if you wanna talk about split personality and revisionist history, look no further to two headlines from the Land of The Rising Sun.
First, Japanese PM, Junichiro Koizumi apologized for WWII Aggression, not getting too specific.

Second, in the Philippines, which Japan brutally occupied, the Japanese erected a kamikaze pilot statue where a US Air Base once stood.

Sorry? Over 10 Million Chinese slaughtered in Mainland China, since 1931-1945. Sorry. 25,000+ American and Philippino POWs killed on the Bataan Death March, out of 76,000 taken.
Over 100,000 ethnic Chinese slaughtered during The Fall of Singapore in 1942. Sorry, for Pearl Harbor.
How sorry were they really?
I guess we could respond and say, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, "Oops, man, sorry. We meant to hit um Tokyo!" British should also add, "oh so sorry about slaughtering you little Japanese chaps at Rangoon, but THAT'S FOR SINGAPORE YOU WANKERS!"
They say sorry and so do we.
Sorry we didn't make you feel a tad more remorse!
