...don't want an apology and have to convince Obama not to issue one, you know that the Apologizer-in-Chief is hopeless.
In September 2009, US Ambassador to Japan John Roos reported to the Obama administration that the Japanese government did not think it was a good idea for President Obama to visit Hiroshima to apologize for the US having dropped an atomic bomb on that city, a secret cable published by Wikileaks revealed.
The irony is, most of the Japanese people I met when I lived there felt they were not only victims of World War II (as opposed to perpetrators) but its primary victims. I'm surprised, therefore, that they were so sensible on this matter. And glad Barack listened -- for I don't think the U.S. owes an apology for Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Of course, this won't stop him from apologizing for D-Day...
