The mother of all apologies

In 2 weeks Prime Minister Koizumi will officially visit North Korea in a bid to improve bilateral relations as well as to shed light on the case of Japanese who allegedly had been abducted by N. Korea.

Interesting news:

Koizumi will apologize at summit for Japan's rule of Korea

I wonder if he also plans a trip to China.

Maybe he just wants to sell more over priced Mitsubishi Diesel Generators?

I just couldn't help the dig. Japan has going through ODA (errr, some kind of international aid) scandals recently.

Seriously, though I trulely hope that does happen.
