Rather, Abe should reaffirm the country’s 1995 statement; apologize again, even more firmly; and revise or close the Yūshūkanmilitary and war museum at Yasukuni, which glorifies Japan’s militarist past while ignoring its concomitant atrocities. Japan should also reach out to South Korea, America’s other ally in the region, and demonstrate greater flexibility in an effort to resolve the two countries’ long-standing maritime border dispute.
在安全受到威胁的情况下，日本领导人再也不能对国家的历史表态模糊不清。相反，安倍应重申该国1995年发表的声明并再次致歉，并且此次致歉的态度应当更加坚决；此外还应改造或关闭靖国神社军事战争博物馆游就馆，停止美化日本军国主义过去并无视因此而造成的暴行。日本还应主动与韩国等美国区域盟友改善关系，并在解决两国为时已久的海上边境争端中表现出更大的灵活性。
