Hey, You Started It
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart

<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."
