Amazing, if true, although it isn't the first time I've heard of the
Japanese style of blindered teaching of this period of their history.


I don't necessarily blame the Japanese for glossing over their own sordid
history. They have to shave every morning, too.

My only worry is that *their* warped perception somehow becomes *our* view,
rather than the other way around. If we ever allow this to happen, and
we -- for instance -- "tone down" the Enola Gay display, we dishonor our
veterans and lose the moral high ground.
