Japan, America, and Germany Apologizing?

Question:

America apologized to Japan for the atomic bomb, Germany apologized for the massacre, but that leaves Japan why don't they apologized for their past? I know not all countries apologized everything they've done because they may still feel bitter or something, but Japan is suppose to be a country full of respect. Do YOU think that they should apologize or do you think that they shouldn't because it was the past. I think they should; how about you?

Answer:

Japan did not want to start war with the U.S.
It was the U.S. who provoked the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Do American happen to forget how the U.S. got to attack Iraq? Amnesia?

The testimony of a faked 15yr old Kuwaiti girl stirred up the anti-Iraqi sentiment among the innocent American citizen, which threw the U.S. into the war with Iraqi in 1991.

Herbert Clark Hoover, the 31st President of the United States (1929–1933), blamed Franklin D. Roosevelt for throwing the U.S. into an set-up "undeclared war with Germany and Japan".

Another "major blunder," Hoover thought, was FDR's decision in 1941 to throw the U.S. into an "undeclared war with Germany and Japan, in total violation of promises upon which he had been elected a few weeks before." Roosevelt's "total economic sanctions" against Japan in the summer of 1941, and his "contemptuous refusal" of the Japanese prime minister's peace proposals in September, Hoover saw as the crucial precursors to Pearl Harbor. The day after the attack, Hoover told a friend that FDR's "continuous putting pins in rattlesnakes finally got this country bitten."
