We've still got the Japanese convinced that they started the war . . .


(CNN)—Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday expressed "profound grief" for the millions killed in World War II and remorse for his country's participation, but said that future Japanese generations shouldn't need to keep apologizing.

Abe, in a speech marking the 70th anniversary of the war's end, gave no new apology. But he acknowledged previous ones and said Japan must keep resolving to never again use force to settle international disputes.

"Japan has repeatedly expressed the feelings of deep remorse and heartfelt apology for its actions during the war," Abe said, adding the country "engraved in our hearts" the suffering of Japan's Asian neighbors through its actions, including China, South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines.
