To the people defending Abe's words and actions, I ask a sincere question: do you think Japan was correct when they enshrined 14 war criminals in 1978? Do you think Japan is correct to annually honor them?
What, exactly, about honoring war criminals do you find defensible? I've yet to hear a sober, eloquent justification.

This is unnecessary and antagonistic. It does nothing to forward peaceful relationships in East Asia.
People do realize there is a sharp distinction between honoring the war dead from one's country and honoring 14 convicted war criminals. The Chinese and Korean governments are objecting to the latter.
Are people also aware that the 14 war criminals were, in fact, enshrined in 1978? To enshrine those 14 three decades after the war ended was a needlessly hostile act.
