The Japanese government has apologized but the Japanese people have never been made fully aware of the total history or so i have been led to believe. Someone once wrote--cant remember the person or publication that Japanese WW2 history teaching internally, starts and stops with the atom bomb droppings on H and N. You are 100% right that today's japanese youth had nothing to do with the atrociites. Also, the Chinese rulers are playing off new nationalism in china which buy the way may end up one day biting their ass. In the NYTimes today there was an article saying that the chinese had banned text messages calling for political action. They are obviously afraid that these excited xenophobic chinese may one day turn on them. You would think they would then want to tone down the anti-japanese, populist sentiment. It seemss that the recent meeting move toward that. Mike

Goebbels knew to tell big lies, repeat them a lot, keep competing ideas suppressed, and hey presto, reality forms in the mindless mob's mind. They grab their lynch ropes and branding irons and attack. The big lie was one of the Nazis' brilliant realizations. The other was Hitler's remark "who remembers the Armenians?", meaning you can get away with anything if you are bold enough and remain powerful. Would have worked, too, if Hitler had managed the 'remaining powerful' bit.
