Seeing ASEAN at core of East Asian community and stressing U.S. ties may be counterbalance by Japan who is put on the defensive against emerging China. But I didn't know that PM Hatoyama's great-grandfather was a member of the secret society Genyosha. The concept of East Asian community is sometimes…

Probably the irony or fury of the shrine is that the perpetrators of aggressive expansion and other atrocities by Japan were condemned while those by the West were not even in the contemporary sense, though you acknowledge that they were no less evil and wrong. Visiting the graves and memorials…

And so the Westerners lost grounds for continuing to have Asia unliberated too by condemning their stupid follower either intentionally or unintentionally. That may be part of what the shrine is telling tacitly abhorrent to the whole world. A site of present day Onryo shinko.

Simon_Foston,

Japan was not a hero but an awkward late comer who tried to follow the West and blundered. And she was charged for what she did. If so how could the West hold on to what they obtained by doing almost similar things as Japan?

smithinjapan,

Sour grapes? Sorry, I oppose to Tokyo holding the game from the beginning. Though I agree with your comment on Ishihara, he may have thrown away huge tax payers money for inviting the game. Olympics and the Nobel prize also serve the rights and interests of some higher echelons…
