It could have been more effective if the followings had been added.

American Military-Base Prostitution

3. This issue is neglected in the public school education of the U.S.

And yet the resolution 121 was passed.

Military Prostitution and the Iraq Occupation

The rebirth of prostitution has generated fear that permeates all of Iraqi society. Families keep their girls inside, not only to keep them from being assaulted or killed, but to prevent them from being kidnapped by organized prostitution rings. Gangs are also forcing some families to sell their children into sex slavery. The war has created an enormous number of homeless girls and boys who are most vulnerable to the sex trade. It has also created thousands of refugee women who try to escape danger but end up (out of economic desperation) being prostituted in Jordan, Syria, Yemen or the UAE.

Before you blame someone who has already apologized several times for what happened more than 60 years ago, why don't you invesitigate the case that is happening now?
Even evil Japan regulated and arrested the illegal pimps.
And please refrain from being hyprictie.

Sincerely
Embassy of Japan

Doesn't it sounds better? ----- Why that is not bad

“The U.S. wants to create trouble between Japan, China and Korea”
It is not me but Aljazeera who said it. (cash)
It is only some Americans who believes the U.S. has a higher moral ground to stand on, rebuking other nations based on false premise while turning a blind eye on what she has been doing..
Now, the myth is crumbling among the allies.It makes some people nausea.
More and more people are following her not because of her ideal, but because of brutal power with the hypocritical face on it.
Well as for me, I still believe in the U.S. self-corrective power. After all I learned the concept from my American professor who has taught Dewey's pragmatism.

Reactions to the resolution from Japense media and some blogs.

慰安婦決議で新聞「猛反発」　朝日社説だけが「孤立」
米下院の慰安婦決議の採択に関しては「下院の意思表示であり、安倍晋三首相はすでにブッシュ米大統領、議会指導者に河野洋平官房長官談話を支持すると述べており、今後、この問題がメディアの注目を集めることはないだろう」と述べた

アメリカのネグロポンテ国務副長官は３日、東京のアメリカ大使館で記者会見し、
参議院で民主党がテロ特措法に反対する意向を示していることについて懸念を表しました。
「日本政府の海上給油活動は国際社会から高く評価され、有益です。
私たちはテロ特措法が延長されることを望んでいます」（ネグロポンテ国務副長官）

会見でネグロポンテ副長官はこのように述べ、参議院の第一党となった民主党の方針に懸念を表明しました。

また、慰安婦問題に関する決議が採択されたことについては、
「被害に遭われた女性には同情するが、歴代の日本の指導者は適切な措置を取っていると思う」と、
一定の配慮を示しました。

さらに、日本の貢献を評価する決議についても触れ、日米関係の重要性を強調しました。

また、シーファー駐日大使が民主党の小沢代表との会談を拒否したとの報道については、

Those who support the resolution should also support the following resokution.

Resolved, That it is the sense of the upper House of the Diet that the Government of the United States–

(1) should formally acknowledge, apologize, and accept historical responsibility in a clear and unequivocal manner for The US army's coercion of young women into sexual slavery, known to the world as `comfort women’, during its occupatoin l and wartime occupation of Asia and the Pacific Islands from the 1945

(2) would help to resolve recurring questions about the sincerity and status of prior statements if the President of the United States were to make such an apology as a public statement in his official capacity;

(3) should clearly and publicly refute any claims that the sexual enslavement and trafficking of the `comfort women’ for GIs never occurred; and

(4) should educate current and future generations about this horrible crime while following the recommendations of the international community with respect to the `comfort women’.

Unless the upper house apply the same criteria to itself, it only leave the strong impression that "the U.S is hypocirite, Americans who support it are hypocrites."
