Tokyo VP,
Japan did not accept the verdict handed down by the IMTF, that's why many war criminals were set free ! Shumei Okawa was set free before the Tokyo Trials ever began, and he was considered the genius behind Nanking ! Accepted...? Recognized that it was foreign and that's it ! The Diet only played up to McArthur.

Too long have the Japanese been condemned and bullied in to submission. The general consensus is turning against foreigners nowadays who speak out against Yasukuni. It is of no business to foreign nationals how a Japanese chooses to worship the war dead. Justice for all, a justice for nobody !!!

The contention OssanUltra, is not whether or not they are Class AB&C war criminals. It's the religious and legal differences between Japan and the West over how they treat their war dead. It's a Western convention to draw lines between good/bad soldier, but in Japan a soldier is a soldier, regardless of what was handed down by a foreign court. Japanese interpret law the Japanese way. As an example: When the articles of surrender were signed the Japanese understood this article to mean the complete and unconditional surrender of the Japanese military, not the whole nation of Japan ! (misunderstanding)
When Tojo and those other men died, they died as judicial martyrs, not war criminals(since AB&C designations was borrowed from Nuremburg). The fact that their loved ones/bereaved can recieve pensions on their behalf, even to this day, is confirmation in itself that the Japanese government has never recognized Tojo and the others 14 as war criminals. If according to Japanese law these men were deemed war criminals their families would have never been eligible for pensions ! After Potsdam was accepted Japanese law changed allowing many convicted war criminals(living) to go free. This is called Japanese law, and I'm afraid the international community is not seeing this. The acceptance of Potsdam brought an end to the occupation, not an end to Japanese law !
How newspapers and mainstream media interpret events surrounding Yasukuni and war criminals has very little to do with facts, since the shrine is private. 2 million Japanese support this shrine with their own money.

Good post usaexpat and Imagawa, and like I posted in my initial openning, the emperor is not visiting Yasukuni and neither is the PM - they should ! Japanese people have to know that visiting such a shrine is NOT a CRIME.

August 15th,2008(today) 125 million Japanese will focus on the Olympics, thanks in part to the media...I repeat 125 million....The Emperor of Japan who too, like so many of his mindless herds will focus on Gold and Silver rather than Red; the blood of millions of Japanese souls that died in his name. Today he will not lay a reef on the memorial epitaphs of the youth he sent so carelessly to their deaths, so easily and so mindlessly.
Today, the emperor will stand proudly clapping his hands as yet another olympic athletes receives another medal in the countries honor. I can see the emperor's eyes glistening with pride as the slow dirge of the Japanese national anthem play out over the loud speakers for all the world to hear. I can see the distant fan waving that all too familiar red and white flag bearing the symbol and legacy of his majesty Emperor Akihito. This is Japanese pride !
What you won't see here in Japan, is that same fan waving that same flag here in the countries honor. You see, to wave that Japanese flag in Japan would constitute as an offense, as most Japanese regard it as a symbol of right wing aggression, and Anarchy ! Even visiting Yasukuni Shrine, or even mentioning its name is considered taboo, and is not talked about in social circles. The souls of millions of Japanese men and women lay at the foot of Yasukuni dishonoured and disrespected, not only by 125 million Japanese, but by the emperor himself ! No one dare stand in their honor ;no one sings a song in their name; No one is grateful for their sacrifices; no one is holding a candle lit vigil in their memory ! They died defending the country from foreign aggression. They died following orders; they died honouring the emperor; they died so that millions of spoiled and ungrateful Japanese can live in prosperity and peace. The Soul of Japan died with those millions of Japanese soldiers.
