Watch "Grave of the Fireflies". Everyone suffered including the Japanese and especially Okinawa. Besides, America wasn't as innocent as we Americans always like to think. We (our government) starts stuff all the time and to us citizens it always looks like we are guiltless and "Helping others".
Pearl Harbor did require payback, but don't believe we had nothing to do with getting involved in the war.
American Military (and citizens, you know who I'm talking about ) need to act more respectfully in all foreign countries. We need to set the example.
Let the insults fly!
