New Congress hard at work on key issue of WWII sex slavery

In another victory of intent over substance, the House of Representatives has apparently been considering a draft resolution calling on Japan to apologize for using women as sex slaves during WWII.
Apparently the resolution will recommend compensation for the sex slaves.

It's safe to say that this is another non-binding resolution, I think.

This story doesn't have any legs in the United States at present.

Japan has expressed its displeasure at a resolution before the US Congress calling on Tokyo to apologise for the country's use of sex slaves in wartime.

Foreign Minister Taro Aso said the resolution was not based on facts.

Sponsored by several members of the US House of Representatives, the proposed text urges Tokyo to formally resolve the issue of so-called "comfort women".
