   Probably not. I don't care. They are irrelevent now and it is just the past.   
   Lets remember, the past is already done. We can't do anything about it.   
   There is a point to stop worrying about getting atonement from these past   
   guys. It is over. Medhi Ali isn't going to make Commodore come back and be a   
   world leading computer company. So, saying, "Sorry" isn't going to please   
   everyone as an "atonement". Who cares about the few loons who demand   
   atonements. The ones talking demanding atonement are the few people who   
   can't get over it and move on. They are loons. They have no sense of stop   
   worrying about the past. Who cares. They don't contribute.

   That happens.

   There is always a few dipshits demanding reparations for slavery when none   
   of them were even slaves. There isn't a person alive during the slavery in   
   the African American community. So, demanding atonement is b.s. For the   
   Japanese of WWII, there is no need or call for atonement. If it got down to   
   it, we done worse to them then they done to us. We have something left there   
   that is still causing illnesses and death in Japan to this very day. It is   
   called radioactive fallout and debris from the Atomic bombs. It will still   
   be impacting that area for 1000s of years.
