Putting 75 years of resentment behind them, the leaders of the United States and Japan are coming together at Pearl Harbor for a historic pilgrimage to the site where the bloodshed of the surprise attacks drew America into World War II. Japan's government says, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit today with <br/><br/>President Barack Obama is powerful proof that the former enemies have transcended the recriminatory impulses that weighed down relations after the war. For Abe, it's an act of symbolic reciprocity, coming six months after Obama became the first sitting US president to visit Hiroshima in Japan, where the US dropped an atomic bomb in hopes of ending the war.
