No, not at all. Which country in the history of the world is free of sins? Where is the perfectly clean man in the world? No country or no man you can find. But... Yes, it is truly shameful that Japan does not acknowledge the shameful history.
You are slightly confused in this case. Suppose a married man was sentenced life imprisonment because he raped a woman. Can his wife ask any compensation to the judge for the loss of income as the rapist used to earn money? And, where does the victim have to go for compensation? To the court judge or the rapist? The rapist wife has to pay the rape victim from the rapist possession.

As you review this article concerning Japanese media controlled by Japanese government, they often represent the ruling elites. It is like a lawyer hires an expert witness for a court trial. You can call and pay someone whom you expect that he will say something favorable for you. It is called 'paif testimony', and it is not only partial but unethical. http://www1.doshisha.ac.jp/~twatanab/watanabe/english/japan.html

Oh, I meant that the topic of this thread is the British MPs' request to Japan to recognize and be sensitive to South Korea about the sex slave issue because good relations betwen Japan and South Korea will be beneficial in solving the North Korea's nuclear threats. It is sad that many japanese women had to suffer as much as others from neigboring countries. However, this issue can be discussed later if Japan Today provides the opportunity at other time.

Seiharinokaze, I am sorry that it is not the point to know how many Japanese women were served as prostitutes or sex slaves. It is the Japan to which the British MPs urged to acknowledge and be sensitive to the sex slave issue with south Korea as many Korean girls were sex slave victims of the Japanese military government.
In response to your question regarding Mr Hata's apprearance in Japanese media as a history expert, I would say it is a paid testimony.

Seiharinokaze,
It is reasonable to say that Mr. Hata is not a historian who can see and perceive the history as it is. He is somewhat biased. I am afraid that I can not accept his side of story as a fact.

Of course not. You do not need to apologize for the crimes commited by your grandfather. Your grandfather, however, must apologize for you.

Exactly. Many Japanese and sizable number of politicians feel that the military and its government sponsored forced prostitution system is wrong. Former PM Murayama's apology was sincere indeed. The problem is those right wing nationalist politicians who directly and indirectly related to the war criminals who inherited political powers in the post-war Japan. In other words, it is like sons and daughters of Hitler are holding important posts in modern german cabinet or parliament. Gen.MacArthur and Sir Morrison's negligence and miscalculation resulted in the current situation. http://sticerd.lse.ac.uk/dps/is/IS425.pdf The foreign Minister, Sir Morrison did not even attend the important meeting in San Francisco treaty.

The above article can explain the inverse relation between coffee drinking and risk of diabetes more than I can do. The article mentions about magnessium, antioxidants, etc.
Often ignored fact is that brain tissues consume tremedeous amount of blood sugar when our brain is working hard, such as during studying hard, reading very interesting mysterious novels, etc. You know most intelligent people are rather slim, not obese. Why many nerds who are using only brains not muscles are slim? Now you know why.
But, you are right, coffee may be harmful for diabetics with high blood pressure(BP). I meant people with normal BP can drink as many as 10 cups of coffee.

PrinceskaNo1, Before disxlosing good supplements for diabetes, there are 2 most important facts you should know.
Overweight/obesity causes our body resistant to Insulin, a chemical substance lowering blood sugar by pushing the blood sugar into the liver, fat, muscles or other body tissues by converting sugars to storage forms, such as fat.
Actively contracting muscle tissues actively reduce bllod sugar because those active muscle cells use blood sugar as their main source of energy(fuel).
Then it is clear which supplements can help lowering blood sugar. Any supplements to reduce body weights or to make muscle contract actively. For example, black coffee? Yes. bliack coffee has no sugar to increse body weight. It makes people alert, and helps to be more active. Now, you can figure out.
