What you all have missed here is that the
Balh, blah, blah, blah....
Not this same, oh... "We are the victims Japanese Remember...???"
I can't remember how many times I've heard Japanese leaders, politicians, foreign ministers, Japanese press, etc... Talk smack about how the U.S. did such and such, and that american leader "Insert Name" is all screwed up, and this kind of rhetoric is circulated, on a weekly, if not daily basis inside of Japan... The only thing, nobody in the U.S. really gives a damn about what some racist oyaji in Japan said about so and so.... So it dies a quiet death, nobody listens to this BS rhetoic...
Oh, but don't give us a taste of our own medicine... Probably because the Washington post has more readers in two or three large cities, than any japanese scandal tabloid could ever wish to have...
Come on guys... It's grow up time...! Time to start recognizing International laws, International human rights, ending racial discrimination and getting on board with REAL UN-White-Washed History... Japanese kids today, really need to know what your country did 60 years ago, and all the good america did for you... And more importantly what they didn't do... Like the 60 years of utter slavery and torture that you Japanese Perpetrated on nearly every one of your asian neighbors... But instead, you were given, democracy, womens rights, a booming capitalistic system, and the last time I looked, Japan doesn't look anything like North Korea... Which is what it would have, had the U.S. let russia take half of Japan...
So bottom line guys, Grow-Up and respect the people that gave YOU so much! You are welcome for your freedom! Please enjoy it, but please remember where and how you got it! (Hint: by the grace of OUR American forefathers)
