Re: Japan - WTF?
[ QUOTE ]
My question is why are Japanese officials behaving like this, and why is it tolerated? Aside from being morally repugnant, white-washing Japan's past really darkens the country's reputation amongst its Asian neighbors, particularly China and Korea (its number 2 and 3 trading partners). It seems especially futile when the general truth has been pretty well established by historians. Is this part of a revolt by a younger generation against the guilt of the past? Pure bull-headed chauvinism? Something else entirely?

How many living Japanese were involved in war crimes?
How long are modern Japanese suppose to feel guilty for acts they never committed.....
They guilt thing gets old after a while..... With China acting like the next evil empire I'm glad the Japanses are growing some balls again. If war breaks out with China AGAIN.....we will need a strong Japan on our side.
