    They've apologized numerous times, it just appears that none of the apologies have ever been good enough.

    What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
    It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
    Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

    So some mis-translations and a non-existent text book problem are what's providing all the butt-hurt? While I would say the Japanese leadership and right-wing elements don't help the situation, and there are a lot of other things the Japanese should accountable for, to say they haven't issued apologies or given out reparations is a lie.

    When Japan invaded China, the way that Japanese believed was exactly the same as how "some" American believed when US invaded Iraq. Instead of "Bring democracy to Iraq", they believed they "bring prospertity to China."

    The invasion is always a bad thing. The wound will never healed.
