Looks like I was mistaken about Bush sending a deligation. Got a few historical things mixed up. This is the Bush comment on an appology to Japan that I mentioned:
"No apology is required, and it will not be asked of this President, I can guarantee you," Mr. Bush said, adding that he felt strongly about the matter. "War is hell, and it's a terrible thing. But there should be no apology requested. And that, in my view, is rank revisionism."

I agree with him.
