Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi was born in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on January 8, 1942 so the only thing he personally saw of WW2 was the aftermath and the reconstruction of his Country with US Aide. I personally feel that Current Presidents and Prime Ministers apologizing for actions they themselves had NO control over is a waste of an apology i.e. when Clinton went to West Africa and made a Big apology for the institution of Slavery which has been Illegal in the US for over 140 years but is still practiced in Eastern Africa today. That is a good example of an apology without any meaning. If Crown Prince Naruhito would make the Same apology his words would have merit since he is the Heir of the Emperor ,of Japan,that was in charge during WW2.
