I found this sentence in the Christian Science Monitor particularly interesting:
Some Japanese still want an apology for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki... http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2010/0806/Hiroshima-65-years-later-US-attends-ceremony-but-offers-no-apology An apology for an act of war is a concept I don't think I've heard of often. Should there be? Who should apologize? Actually, the British government's apology for covering up the actions of their soldiers in Northern Ireland recently came close. But as I recall, the apology was for the coverup that was found. (I could be wrong about that.) So, what do you all think about the necessity for, or expectation of, an apology for an act of war?
