Joe raises big questions regarding China and Japan. The Japanese were slow to acknowledge their role in launching war in East Asia. Many feel that even the acknowledgments are inadequate because they include Japanese among the victims of the war. This is true of course, but seems to some in East Asia (and in America, for that matter) to be dodging responsibility. It's important, though, to remember that none of the decision makers from WWII are alive today and that only the oldest among us were even adults at that time. Still, isn't it useful for later generations to honestly "face history"?
