About time. Good to see historical wrongs being addressed.

That's right. Consider the fact that the Japanese Government never officially apologized for her atrocities in WWII, which by all mean were badder acts, the US Government should be praised for her courage for admitting wrong doings.

About time. Good to see historical wrongs being addressed.

If you have any sense of intellectual honesty, considering you live in the US, you would have known that this wrong have been righted a long time ago. This is a formality.

It truly is a formality, but sometimes it matters to some people. In any case it is hopefully taken in the spirit of goodwill it was made in rather than as a sign of weakness or 'giving in'.
