Response to a comment by Soul of Japan

Soul of Japan said the following on my previous post titled "Premier Abe and Yasukuni Shrine".

"I agree with most of what you wrote here, but the problem is not about why he didn't visit Yasukuni, the problem is that he sought a consensus in order to do it. No Japanese needs to have permission to visit his own shrine in his own country."

Come to think about that, Soul of Japan is right. Premier Abe should have visited the shrine. It is more than a thousand pities that he gave a wrong signal to CCP, SK and the US. Next time when he goes, he will again seek consensus to visit the shrine. It is really ridiculous. He should have put an end to this vicious cycle. In other words, he would have been able to confront irrational accusations coming from CCP, SK, the US and internal poison snakes in Japan at a time. He missed the chance.

Soul of Japan further said, 

"Mr. Menendez and President Obama have a very skewed opinion about WW2, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were catering to special interest groups. The lack of understanding of what actually occurred with the comfort women is the Ministry of Educations fault. Most Japanese do not even know the facts, so how can you expect other nations to understand? "

Yes, the Ministry of Education (now the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology called MEXT for short) made a big mistake in accepting fabricated stories on the comfort women issue. That's what I knew already, and what is more dreadful is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has been supporting SK on this issue, whereby our embassy and consulates in the US didn't protest strongly to building comfort women statues in American cities which were promoted by Koreans living in the US. That's what I knew from reading 『外務省の罪を問う』(Crimes Committed by MOFA) written by Seishiro SUGIHARA published by Jiyuusha. 

I will talk more about the crimes of MOFA on separate posts.
