Regarding the Jan. 9 article "Clear apology to sex slaves demanded": U.S. Rep. Mike Honda (California Democrat), who was in Tokyo on Jan. 8, once again belabored his favorite subject. Japan has periodically expressed regret over this issue. Their remorse is more than sufficient.
For Honda's information, the Japanese government established "comfort women" sites for American occupation troops in Japan immediately after World War II.
At this point, Honda's demand is irrelevant -- unless he is seeking to lay the groundwork for future lawsuits. This entire affair is about money and nothing else. Honda should get lost.
