will have high expectations toward President Obama's visit to
Japan in November, as the President enjoys an historic level
of popularity among the Japanese people. Anti-nuclear
groups, in particular, will speculate whether the President
would visit Hiroshima in light of his April 5 Prague speech
on non-proliferation. He underscored, however, that both
governments must temper the public's expectations on such
issues, as the idea of President Obama visiting Hiroshima to
apologize for the atomic bombing during World War II is a
"non-starter." While a simple visit to Hiroshima without
fanfare is sufficiently symbolic to convey the right message,
it is premature to include such program in the November
visit. Yabunaka recommended that the visit in November
center mostly in Tokyo, with calls on the Emperor and Prime
Minister, as well as some form of public program, such as
speeches, an engagement at a university, or a town hall-like
meeting with local residents. Highlighting the busy
political calendar in the coming weeks, including the
election of the new Prime Minister, launching of the new
Cabinet, and the Prime Minister's participation in the UN
General Assembly and the Pittsburgh G-20 Summit, Yabunaka
noted that both sides should begin working quickly on the
President's November visit. The Ambassador conveyed an

The cable does not state that the idea was from the U.S. Rather, Roos writes that Yabunaka thought that following President Obama’s call earlier that year for a world free of nuclear weapons, anti-nuclear groups would speculate as to whether he would visit Hiroshima.

So, perhaps the true question is:

Thou Art Slow..

This was addressed in 2009.
1)There was an offer to attend a dedication.
2)There was a HUGELY ETHNOCENTRIC MESSAGE SENT TO THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR. Similar fucked up assumptions have come from Japan in the past. They AREN'T AMERICANS... get it?
(IOW - Don't try to attribute Western cultural attributes to the Japanese ... simply say I don't understand what they think)
3)There are some racial issues between the US and Japan that probably should be in their own thread and have influenced relations with Obama ... Er ah... right up until they had their earthquake/tsunami/self-nuking and NEEDED US Ask the Prime Minister if he's still fishing for an apology now. In fact, he should consider one to the rest of the world for RADIOLOGICAL PISSING INTO THE REST OF THE WORLD'S WIND
4)Jake Tapper = Politrical Hack/Non-Journalist
5)Where should we go from here?

Don't think so, but he should apologize to the Japanese for G Bush the big boy, for trying to suck off the prime minister.
