As if Bush wasn't enough... apparently Japanese and American citizens share similar problems in voting for competant leaders.

*Waits for Japanese War crime apologists to rush in* *waits for hippies to rush in and point to the nukes, ignoring the topic*

What's wrong with bush? Voters are not Smart? So if anyone votes in a way you disagree with, they arent smart?

Contradicting a long time standing position by your own government is just asking for trouble. If the issue was largely settled then I see no reason to bring it up again, it's like that incident in England a while ago where Blair was apologising about slavery (I think, I don't remember the details).

I was under the impression that it was the historians job to piece together what they deem an accurate history, not for it to be decided by people AFTER it's happened. 

If the article is anything to go by this guy has seen a lot of heat recently.

How can you call voting for people like Bush and Shinzo smart?

Yeah.... and the whole "apologists/hippies" thing added to that... Basically, the TC's opinion is obviously correct, and anyone who disagrees for any reason is stupid and wrong.

But if this is the case, I fail to see how discussion can take place. Did TC expect a lot of people to rush in and say "wow, you're right!". Exciting discussion.

The Japanese voters couldn't have known that their PM was going to make such a comment.
