- <p> Ever since President Bush announced plans to visit Hawaii
- for the 50th anniversary of the PEARL HARBOR attack, the
- government of Toshiki Kaifu has been scrambling to avert a fresh
- round of Japan bashing. Kaifu's advisers have suggested that
- when Bush travels to Tokyo as scheduled in late November, he
- pay a respectful call on Hiroshima. Some have even hinted that
- Bush, a World War II fighter pilot who was shot down by the
- Japanese in 1944, should take Kaifu with him to Pearl Harbor to
- symbolize how two old enemies are now allies. But White House
- officials vehemently oppose the plan. Says one: "The idea seems
- to be to make it appear that we behaved as badly as the
- Japanese."
