Hmm I do remember reading somewhere that Japan treats itself as victims of WW2 because of the atom bomb and due to cultural views of shame and honour they don't talk about how cruel the Japanese were.

Does it really matter how cruel 'they' were? Having two atom bombs hit your civilians is kind of a bad deal.

This is what I'm talking about:

"Essentially, Japan teaches WWII as "we lost" and "a dark part of our history", but with an emphasis on its negative effects on their own country rather than the wrongs done to other countries. It serves the purpose of teaching war as a mistake that should not be repeated, but fails to instill a solid sense of responsibility for their actions. Thus why Japan continues to have problems with war memory and tension with its East Asian neighbors, while Germany has successfully reintegrated with Europe."

Every country spins history to make it look better for itself.

True. I wish they didn't.

Enough of this though. It was just an interesting point I had heard.

Back to normal spamming. Too srs around here.

Libyans love Gaddhafi; there is no unrest in Libya, it is only American propaganda.
