I condemn all the atrocities that the Japanese soldiers have done in WWII but I guess most of those Japanese from WWII are already dead. Is the Japanese today that hateful ? What have the present Japanese done to anyone ? Should the Japanese today carry the guilt and sin of their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents ? Maybe our own ancesters may have also committed atrocities during their time in China, should we continue to bear the guilt and sin for them today ?
I worked for the Japanese in the 80's, my Japanese boss have been very good and kind to me. I loved them very much and will always have fond memories of them. Should I hate them because of what their ancestor did in WWII ? I don't think I should carry any quilt or sin which my ancesters may have committed and neither should the present Japanese.
WWII is very old history and should not be used as a basis for discussion. The world has changed, the Japanese today are better informed and educated. I doubt the Japanese today will do kamakazi for their emperior. The Japanese today should do what they need to do today for themselves and for humanity. I just hope they don't go into an arm race as nobody wins.
