Why did he admit his country's war crime while he was in US?
What's all this nonsense of "standing by" some confession made by his predecessors?
Why didn't he just openly and publicly admit all the war crimes done to China, Korea and other countries and formally apologize to those countries for all the killing, murder, tortures and abuses committed before and during the war?
