DescriptionFor those of us who still remember years of imprisonment in Southeast Asian Japanese concentration camps during World War II and who lost fathers, husbands, sons and brothers in that horrific war, it was a low blow to see the president of the United States bow to the Japanese emperor ("Kudos to Obama for diplomatic bow," Letters, Thursday).

Oh, yeah, I know, it has been more than 60 years and I should move on.

But no, I can't forget three years of suffering under the Japanese "culture and etiquette."
