To the editor:
While I regret the sinking of the Japanese fishing boat, Ehime Maru, I am amazed at the demands of any Japanese who would demand an apology for the accident.
To my knowledge, there has been no Japanese apology for the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. Note that the Japanese action was a careful, deliberate, peacetime attack, not an accident.
And, at the last count, are there not a lot more Americans entombed in the battleship Arizona than in the Japanese Ehime Maru?
Talk about chutzpah!
