'Worsening ties embolden Abe to make shrine visit'

They've done it --yet again! I mean the Japs....every now and den, the Jap govt officials will visit the controversial Yasukuni shrine to pay respects to the war dead, many of whom are regarded by Asian countries as war criminals of WWII. Diplomacy and bilateral ties with China and South Korean will inevitably suffer each time this happens....I made a recent visit to this shrine last month....check out my take on it HERE.
This makes for a good example on qns related to patriotism and love for one's country, or heightening tension and challenges facing the world....

Should a love of one's country still be encouraged? (Cambridge 2009)
