NO COMFORT?

Did you read the articles in NY Times, L.A. Times, and Bostonglobe about the sex slaves?

I was disappointed to read them because the writers seem to have written them before seeing the issue in perspective.

According to me, Japan will appologize and accept the call (though it apoligized more than once) if it is based on fair judgment and investigation into the truth, in correct judicial proceedings. But I don't think it is fair to charge a suspected person with the alleged atrocity its accusers describe.

More important, it doesn't matter if the Korean's explanation is true or not. What matters most should be found in "Agreement on the Settlement of Problem concerning Property and Claims and the Economic Cooperation between the Japan and Republic of Korea."

South Korea, in normalizing relationship with Japan after the World War II, stated that it would take care of all of the Korean individuals who were victimized by the Japan Army, taking 300 million dollars and more from Japan, as the compensation. Sadly, the Korean government spent all the money for developing the country, without gaining permission from the nation.
