Japan's Prime Minister Abe did not apologize for the attack on Pearl Harbor, just as President Obama did not apologize for the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As well they shouldn't. At most, they should acknowledge that it was a sad time in history and must not be repeated.
Plus, neither man was alive back then.
I was happy to see the president finally doing something about Pearl Harbor. It always seemed to me that he essentially ignored it.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
