CNN reported that: "Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman said nationalist feelings can still be exploited and that it's not hard for a political leader anywhere to earn cheap applause by vilifying a former enemy. She said such provocations produce paralysis, not progress. South Koreans took her words as meaning she sided with Japan."
Then the attack on US ambassador happened. Think about it. Who let this thing happen under their watch?

I agree with Himajin. The authors of a paper are solely responsible for the accuracy of their paper's contents. People may make unintended mistakes, which are excusable. However the act is not forgivable, when the authors tried to present false data.

I think lawmakers (male and female) should expect some heckling. Expect some heckllng? Yes, but not this kind. Sexist heckling has no place in that place.
Japanese male politicians becomes a laughing stock in the civilized world. He waited how many days to come forward. Apparently his colleagues found out that the pressure from abroad is too great to bear. So they force him to come forward. The other guilty members are still hiding behind him. Come on, be a MAN. Come forward and resign.
