Does America really care Yasukuni Issue?

In a commentary titled Uneasy Sleep of Japan's Dead, written by a conservative Washington Post commenter, George Will thinks that to a easy sleep for Japanese is to go beyond Yasukuni.

However, I wonder how much America cares about the Yasukuni issues. After all, Mr. Will's commentary is 2nd piece appeared regarding Mr. Koizumi's Yasukuni visit on August 15, 2006, which has strained relationship among Japan, China and South Korea, in Washington Post, a national newspaper in the U.S.

A mechanism that will push both Japan and China to go beyond Yasukuni seems to have stopped too, with Mr. Abe seems to be certain to succeed Koizumi, and he himself spoke publicly to go visit Yasukuni if elected. China, on the other hand, shows no signs of willingness to hold talks with Japanese leaders without them stopping visit Yasukuni first.
