In a bid to prove stupidity crosses all boundaries 160 members of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party visited Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo in which 14 class A war criminals are buried. These morons are historical revisionists who believe that the Japanese Imperial Army committed no crimes against humanity. Forgetting: Comfort Women, the Nanjing Massacre and the Bataan Death March just a few of the many human rights violations committed by the Japanese army during and before World War II.
A cabinet minister was among scores of Japanese parliamentarians who paid tribute at a controversial war shrine in Tokyo Friday, in a move likely to anger China and South Korea.

Yoshitaka Shindo, minister for internal affairs and communications, insisted he was paying homage at Yasukuni Shrine as an individual, and played down the potential for diplomatic fallout.
“I offered prayers in a private capacity,” Shindo, who wore a morning suit, told reporters after making his offering of a branch from a sacred tree.
However, Japanese conservatives say it is natural that they pay homage to people who lost their lives in the service of their country, and insist the shrine is no different from Arlington National Cemetery, where the United States honors its war dead.
Nationalists, among them a significant number of parliamentarians, visit the shrine in spring and autumn, as well as on Aug 15, the anniversary of Japan’s WWII surrender.
These morons see no harm in celebrating Japanese war crimes.
