anyone know about this issue?
basically...
It is a shrine where all Japanese dead soldiers are enshrined. Among the dead that are enshrined, are 14 class A (Hitler would have been class A if he were tried) war criminals
The issue is that the Japanese Prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, visits the shrine, sparking off protest everytime. Foreign Minister Aso Taro also visits. As well as Abe, the guy who's expected to be the next Prime minister after Koizumi retires.
Korea is pissed at Japan for the visits.
Where do you stand?
