We, the US, passed a resolution about comfort women in 2007, and actively participated in creating a memorial stone of comfort women in New Jersey because Japan's past imperialistic brutality is wrong, and Japan must both officially and sincerely admit and apologize, and take responsibility of their historical past. Despite our efforts, one of the extreme rightist politician, Hashimoto Toru, the mayor of Osaka, recently made statements denying the enforced sexual slavery of comfort women. His statements are Japan's futile efforts to distort the past instead of repenting and apologizing for the crimes Japan's ancestors have committed.
Japan must sincerely repent and apologize for their wrong doings of the past.
