政治の世界は真実が通用するわけではないので馬鹿げた話だとは思いますが、アメリカ人の弱みはやはり黒人奴隷話ですね。
アメリカで謝罪とか賠償とかに凝っているのは民主党ですが、民主党といえばもともとは黒人奴隷派が元祖ですので、慰安婦謝罪攻撃に夢中な連中には黒人奴隷謝罪攻撃が一番効くはずです。(ただしアメリカ攻撃ということで元々謝罪賠償攻撃の嫌いな共和党にも嫌われてしまいます)

VIEWPOINT: No Comfort From the US Lower House
Got up this morning and was struck by a headline in the paper: 'Diet Adopts Resolution Calling for US Apology for Enslavement of Blacks.' I nearly spilled my coffee.
Nevertheless, I plunged into the article: 'On February 20 the Diet adopted a resolution calling for the US President to make an official apology to America's
35 million blacks for violation of their ancestors' human rights by the system of slavery.'
No, I didn't read such an article; it does not exist. And the person who spilled his morning coffee was perhaps Foreign Minister Taro Aso when he read of the submission in the U.S. House of Representatives of a resolution condemning Japan for sexual enslavement of women during World War II. Commented Aso, 'It is extremely regrettable and definitely not based on facts.'
And inconvenient. Shinzo Abe is scheduled to make his first visit as Prime Minister to Washington at the end of April. He certainly doesn't want the issue of the 'comfort women,' as the prostitutes for Imperial Army troops' gratification are euphemistically know, to shadow him during his US debut.
Just what are the facts? Well, they are in dispute. The Abe Administration supports the statement issued in 1993 by Yohei Kono, then Chief Cabinet Secretary, which acknowledged and apologized for the Imperial Army's
sexual enslavement of Asian women. Subsequently, in 1995, the government established the Asian Women's Fund from 'an acute sense of moral responsibility for those made 'comfort women.''
Some lawmakers from the Liberal Democratic Party, the ruling conservative party, are working to disavow the Kono statement, having established the 'Group of Lawmakers for Considering Japan's Prospects and History Education,'
chaired by Nariaki Nakayama, the Minister of Education and Science in the second Koizumi cabinet. The group is due to propose a revision of the Kono statement as early as this month. The more conservative LDP lawmakers have been
dissatisfied with Abe's support of the Kono statement.
In dispute is not the fact that Asian women provided sex for Japanese soldiers, but the backdrop of their arrival in the brothels and the nature of government involvement.
Foreign Minister Taro, the lawmaker group, 'Yomiuri Shimbun' editorialists and other elements of the conservative spectrum contend that the women were not rounded up by the Japanese government but rather employed by private brothel owners.
The Japanese blogosphere is awash in theories explaining the submission of a resolution seemingly irrelevant to the the US in 2007. Prominent is the theory that the resolution is the fruit of Chinese and Korean efforts to whip up anti-Japanese sentiment. Bloggers exorcise the Abe Administration for not correcting what they view as a widespread l calumny of Japan based on faulty history.
The administration may be listening. The Japanese Embassy in Washington issued a statement: '[The resolution] includes inappropriate comments such as a renewed call for actions Japan has already taken.' Meanwhile, the government
dispatched to the US on February 19 Hiroshige Seko, assistant to the prime minister, to explain Japanese policy to the American media and to meet with relevant lawmakers to explore the background of the resolution.
The Japanese are, admittedly, inept propagandists, and they are now paying the price for not having earlier reminded the world of amends they've made for the sins of war.
The resolution now before the House of Representatives reminds me of a visit to Japan by Jesse Jackson many years ago. The civil rights leader had barely nbuckled his seatbelt when he was saying free the 'burakumin,' a subject of historical and political complexity not amenable to sound bytes or briefing papers.
The Americans have a bad habit of letting their admirable democratic impulses lead them into areas of which they are woefully ignorant. So they are caught in the crosshairs of sectarian militants in the Middle East and debating a resolution that can only alienate their closest ally in Asia.
The Japanese are bad publicists, but leastwise they do no harm from ignorance. You won't be reading about their lawmakers asking President Bush to apologize to the sons and daughters of slaves.

なお、広島原爆についても落とすのを決定したのは民主党の大統領だという謝罪攻撃も共和党にとっては可能ではあるようです。下記の投稿はそういう意味にも読めると思います。
