yasukuni shrine
for those of us in singapore wondering what the hell the big hooha on yasukuni shrine is about.. well here is its website...
"War is truly sorrowful. Yet to maintain the independence and peace of the nation and for the prosperity of all of Asia, Japan was forced into conflict. The precious lives that were lost in these incidents and wars are worshiped as the Kami (Deities) of Yasukuni Jinja."
"There were also 1,068 "Martyrs of Showa" who were cruelly and unjustly tried as war criminals by a sham-like tribunal of the Allied forces (United States, England, the Netherlands, China and others). These martyrs are also the Kami of Yasukuni Jinja."
draw your own conclusions...
btw, came across this website (strangely from ntu) on the nanking massacre. take a look if you are interested...
sino-japan relation-related topics are still hogging the news over here, with the occasional crap justice such as a 19 year old guy fatally abusing his gf's child, and only got 5 years sentence.
another jap who had pleaded guilty for murder, had to plead the judge to pass the death sentence on him... wah... such a hard thing to achieve...
land of the rising sun, my frens...
