We cannot presume that people in other nations will ever accept common American viewpoints. Why should they?

As we have had to come to grips with things in our own country such as slavery, and then we have a number of people who have applauded the President for apologizing all over the world, just when are we to expect other nations to adopt this model and honestly face their parts in acts of evil?

Quit the crap of the US is evil. It’s out of context, and you’re either willfully rejecting history, or you are ignorant of it. The brutality of the Japanese on the Bataan Death March is but a single event of many that is reflective of how the Japanese did “business” in China, Korea, SE Asia and the Pacific Islands.

The Koreans still have a major bone to pick with the Japanese, who kidnapped and enslaved their women as “comfort girls” in traveling camps to provide sex for the troops.

So, random murder, sex slavery, conquering (oh, we didn’t conquer them, we defeated them, then helped rebuild a society and country for them, you jackass), exploitation of resources (oil, rubber, metal) isn’t enough to ask them to also ante up their own apology to the World?

Those who do not know history….

You’re one of them.

If you’re going to get on your soapbox, be factually and I could care less about how you “feel” about it.

Go ahead, send your legions of friends to down ding me. It’s worth getting reality and truth out on the table aroiund here.
