fantastic.
O.K.
We forgot.
Wherever you are going and will go, Russia is chasing you and will chase you to get the no. from you.
You can take the help of the mail to pass your nos. to Russia.

What is it called?
Oh, yeah.
Future shock.
Like, when you take a new born baby out of the womb. And put it through whatever is necessary to make it able to drive a car by the time it is one year old.
Japan was minding its own, when Europeans came and wrenched the samurai swords out of their hands, replacing them with machine guns, tanks, and battleships.
What the hell did we (and that is the COLLECTIVE we) expect??
We need to be innocent, in order to have the privilege to forgive.

I have no idea from which side this request is coming from. Forgiveness requires three things: confess, atone, repent. Whoever is assumed to be the victim, this isn't his/her/their task. It's the task of the person seeking forgiveness. If you can't define your role in it, it may be very difficult. This is especially difficult in a society that assumes collective guilt, even though an individual may be blameless. That individual is up a creek without a paddle.
Forgetting is hardly ever a good idea, though. There's always a lesson to be learned, and ignorance is never a good option.

Im am reading a study of the Coastwatcher Program run during WW2 of people left behind by the retreating Allied forces who used radios to observe and report on Japanese Air and Ship movements...when they were captured by the Japs they were brutally interrogated(no underwear over the heads here) them made to dig their own graves despite having had their testicles cut off,then beheaded over the holes they just finished digging..and you want us to accept a little,very simple "we're sorry" for all you did?.....well......no....my Uncle served in the 8th marine Reg,2nd Div in the campaigns at Guadalcanal,Tarawa,Saipan,Tinian, and Okinawa...he hated them til the day he died and he wasnt an evil or bad person...he just saw too much of what they,as a people were like....

If Japan has apologized for Pearl Harbor, we will forgive them. It will forever be etched on our memories though.
Still Japan is an ally for the most part today and valued as such.

For WWII?
That was a while ago. And now you're our ally, so we've got nothing to worry about, just so long as you don't stab us in the back, heh.
We can forgive, but we cannot forget. As is the gift and curse of humanity.
