Koizumi is going back to Yasukini. What a botched piece of PR this is...
Koizumi cites Confucius in defense of shrine visits

Quoting Confucius, a defiant Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Monday defended his annual visits to the war-related Yasukuni Shrine, shrugging off the uproar they inevitably cause in Asia.
Referring to wartime Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, one of 14 Class-A war criminals enshrined at Yasukuni, Koizumi told the Lower House Budget Committee: ``They cite Tojo (as a reason to stop the visits). But Confucius says, `Condemn the offense, but pity the offender.'''
Can you imagine Shroeder spewing this garbage for Goebbels or Mengele? The PM's office is completely out of step with Asia, the World and Japan.

Japan is still trying to make its war-criminals seem like war heros by visiting this shrine. I don't understand their thinking.
