Tokyo - Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Tuesday paid homage to Japan's World War II dead at the Yasukuni Shrine, drawing South Korea's and China's condemnation, which was heightened by the date of his visit - the anniversary of Japan's surrender.
Despite repeated protests from Beijing and Seoul, Koizumi kept a promise to make a sixth pilgrimage as premier to the shrine - which honours Japan's 2.8 million war dead, including 14 Class-A war criminals - before he steps down next month.
The visit was the first made in 21 years by a prime minister on the anniversary of the war's 1945 end, which is remembered in Japan as a defeat but which South Korea celebrates as Liberation Day after it and China both suffered under Japan's often-brutal wartime occupation.
That colonial past has worsened relations between Tokyo and the two countries, and the shrine and Koizumi's visits there have brought charges from Seoul and Beijing that they glorify Japan's past military aggression and imperialism.
On Tuesday, South Korea said Koizumi's 'nationalistic attitude' has worsened bilateral relations and China said the shrine visit was a move that 'challenges international justice.'
Koizumi defended his visits, insisting that they are to pray for peace and adding that he is only respecting the war dead in general, not the war criminals in particular.
'Even if I avoided August 15, I would be criticized,' local media quoted Koizumi as saying. 'Whatever date I visited the shrine does not make any difference.'

Nothing as far as im concerned, ok yeah im glad the U.S. defeated Japan in WWII but these Soldiers killed in World War II were fighting for their Country.
I am glad U.S. and Japan are Friends nowadays and I do respect the Prime Minister of Japan's right to visit graves of those killed in World War II

because the shrine glorifies the war-time acts of the Japanese military and houses Class A war-dead. Thus the visiting evokes the anger of countries such as South Korea and China.

Nothing at all. 9-11 pales in comparison to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If the Prime Minister wants to give respect to the dead, then so be it.

I'm not sure what a "PM" is.
Maybe if I did I might think differntly... but in general, I believe in freedom of movement. So there is nothing wrong with them viseting any place that isn't private property.
