US House urges Japan to apologize over comfort women
The US House of Representatives has approved a resolution calling on Japan to apologize for forcing Asian women to serve Japanese soldiers in brothels during World War Two.
The House adopted the nonbinding resolution, the first of its kind, on Monday.
It says the Japanese government should formally acknowledge, apologize and accept historical responsibility in a clear manner for the suffering of the women.
The resolution's chief sponsor, Democratic Representative Mike Honda, defended the resolution as a just action needed to convey to future generations that this kind of treatment of people will never happen again.
Japan's Ambassador Ryozo Kato has said the resolution is not based on facts.
He warned that passing it would harm otherwise sound Japan-US relations.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed his apologies over the suffering of the women, although he had dismissed the resolution as not reflecting facts.
In mid-June, a group of Japanese legislators, critics and others took out an opinion ad in the Washington Post denying that the Japanese military forced the women into slavery.
Democratic Representative Tom Lantos, who is House Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, called efforts to distort and deny history by people in Japan "nauseating".

Feast your eyes on this, car technology and high-mileage nuts. It's a Honda Accord that runs on diesel. It gets 62.8 miles a gallon on the highway, but otherwise looks and feels like a regular Accord.
