content: All of our Asian issues (China, Japan, Korea,) have their roots in the conduct and actions of the Japaneese and the United States during and after WWII.TO ignore that is to ignore the impact of history. Asian parents still caution their children about the results of that war, and many older Asians feel that the United States missed the boat by hitting the Japaneese with only two Atomic Bombs.Make no mistake. The rise of Japan as a Economic power has scared everyone. The rise of them as a Military power is attractive to NO one in the region. And never will be. The Grandparents of the occupation and impact of the Japaneese military are still alive and their children have been raised to beware the boogyman.Reading this does put the entire element of the Political war in focus.
