huh?

am i missing something here? our house of representatives passed a (non-binding but still, c'mon....) resolution for japan to apologize to it's 'comfort women'???????????? huh and huh and huh again?

first off weren't we in the slave trade for a while? secondly didn't we treat several groups like the chinese building the railroads out west like pieces of shite? thirdly, didn't we treat immigrants such as the irish and italians coming into ellis island like pieces of shite? thirdly, what about how we treated AMERICANS of japanese descent in wwII?, fourthly, in CURRENT times, are we letting children suffer because they don't have health insurance, are we letting those on the gulf coast suffer because of a natural disaster and ill prepared state AND government assistant plans. fifthly (and i'll stop here but i could go on and on and on and on) didn't we invade a foreign land who did NOTHING to us. NOTHING???????????

oh one more thing, while our men and women are DYING in iraq, the king and his court are breaking practically every law known to women and man - our congress is hinting at what ANOTHER country should do? c'mon now

US urges 'comfort women' apology

US lawmakers have called on Japan's government to formally apologise for its role in forcing thousands of women to work as sex slaves in World War II.
The symbolic and non-binding resolution was passed during a vote in the House of Representatives.
Up to 200,000 "comfort women" from across the Far East were part of Japan's military brothel programme.
Japan says it has shown sufficient remorse over the issue. A spokesman said the resolution was "regrettable".
Chief Cabinet Spokesman Yasuhisa Shiozaki told a news conference that Japan had "handled the comfort women issue with sincerity".
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had "clearly explained his views" on the subject during a visit to Washington in April, he said.
'Nauseating' denials
The resolution calls on Japan - one of the strongest US allies in Asia - to "formally acknowledge, apologise and accept historical responsibility in a clear and unequivocal manner" for the suffering of the women. .........

(p.s. please do NOT misunderstand. i DO think these women deserve MORE than an apology. i just think we better fix our OWN f**kups before we go advising others on theirs)
