    It's a mistake to think that there can ever be "even", although I do think these kinds of gestures between countries matter. One thing we can be sure of, is that the folks who blasted Obama for "apologizing" to Japan for Hiroshima during his last visit (it wasn't exactly an apology, but a recognition of what had been done there) will either completely ignore Abe's visit, or write it off as irrelevant.
