Does Japan owe an apology for WWII crimes 60 years on?
Canada's parliament has unanimously passed a motion calling on Japan to apologize for forcing some 200,000 women to serve as wartime sex slaves. Similar motions have been adopted in the US and the Netherlands.

Yes # This isn't crime against 200,000 women. It's crime against humanity and all of the world's citizens have a responsibility to speak out against it.
# Forced prostitution at this level is unpardonable and Japan's failure to acknowledge it is a huge hurdle in establishing good relations with its neighbors.
No # If Japan is forced to apologize for WWII crimes then US and other western nations should also come right out to apologize to Africans for its legacy.
# Since the US and many other western states didn't officially protest during or immediately after the atrocities transpired, to do so now is unfair to modern Japanese who like the victims, must also live with the memory of their military's regrettable wartime policies.
