Comfort Women uncomfort US-Japan Relations

It would be a perfect timing for Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to be in DC, after a long and enduring cold days and several storms in March and early April, finally sunny and warm days returns to DC this week.

However, from today, when Abe is going to have dinner with Bush at the White House, the weather turns to cloudy and gloomy. Not only the weather, the issue of comfort women has also clouded the US-Japan relationship.

Today's Washington Post even posted a full page Ad paid by 121 Coalition: A National Coalition United to Defend Human Rights and Support H.Res. 121, a resolution posposed by the U.S. Congress to ask Japan to apologize for Comfort Women during WWII.

Heading to DC, Abe said he expected a very open discussion with Bush, will they talk about the uncomfortable comfort women issue?
