Re: [TS] A Shrine to Japan's Tainted Past

Diplomatic, yes. Morally, no.

He has every right as an individual to visit the shrine; to suggest otherwise is hypocritically to Japan's democracy. However, I do agree with it when it comes to diplomacy. Even though he is visiting as an individual and not necessarily as a representative of the government, he is still intimately associated with the government the visit may be seen as so.
