Obama on Friday became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the site of the world's first atomic bomb attack, bringing global attention both to survivors and to his unfulfilled vision of a world without nuclear weapons.

The USA never turned it's back on Japan after the war. We assisted Japan back to an economy that mirrored ours because of the Japanese culture. Not every country is the same or as willing.
