I don't agree. Did you hear about those massive protests in China over Japan asking to be on the Security Council? There was a lot of this issue mixed up in those protests as well. A lot of Japan flag burning.

But the young Japanese know and, being detached from the situation, will have a much easier time apologizing for things their grandparents and great grandparents did. Pride will not let those grandparents and great grandparents apologize right now. That is life. The younger Japanese will express their disgust and disappointment at how things happened before and during WWII when it is their time to have a voice.

Oh really? So you're saying that they are taught that Japan attacked China without provocation and raped and murdered more than 300,000 people in Nanjing? I believe that the number is lowered and its described as if it were a battle, as opposed to what it really was, a massacre and a rape.
