But the prime minister's move will likely anger the more conservative forces in Abe's right-wing government, who promote a revisionist view of Japan's history and are seeking to restore Japan's pride in its imperialist past.
Who are the more more conservative forces who will be angered by Abe's visit to Pearl Harbor?
Sankei welcomes the move.
Let me check some of the right-wingers who are " seeking to restore Japan's pride in its imperialist past"
Nishimura
Fujioka
Hyakuta---they've never mentioned any news of Abe's visit.
They really don't care if Abe visits Perl Harbor.
I don't think Anna Fifield knows Japanese politics.
鳩山の南京訪問は反発されるが、仮に鳩山がパールハーバー訪問して、謝罪しても、たぶん、なんら反発をうけない。
ここらへん、普段新聞を読んでいればわかると思うが・・・
While Abe shares some of these sympathies, he has also taken a pragmatic approach, issuing a statement expressing remorse for Japan's Second World War actions on the 70th anniversary of his country's surrender last year. His government has also agreed on a final deal with South Korea to resolve the dispute over the Japanese army's wartime use of women as sex slaves, euphemistically known as "comfort women."
Why can't U.S. President apologize to and compensate for Korean sex slaves the U.S. military exploited during and after Korean War just as Japanese prime ministers did in the past?
Why can't American media cover the issue of Asian sex slavery for U.S. military while covering the sex slavery for Japanese military so often ?

アジア系とわざわざ言及しているところからすると、アジア人の目が細いという固定観念を前提とした記事ですね。
