Are you implying so called comfort women issue is not as important since
Korea was Japan's colony and China was a battle ground, and that North
Korean rocket over Japan is important because it is peace time?

This is outrageously militaristic and apologetic for Japan's past.  If
Japan had not occupied Korea, Korea would not have suffered.  If Japan
had not invaded China, there would not have been such battles in China.
With all troubles started by Japan, 50 or years past is the past, and
yet a rocket over Japan is big trouble because Japan is in peace?  As 
I wrote before, let it pass another 50 years and a silly rocket over
Japan will appear harmless.
