It’s a good thing the Japanese haven’t gone into war after WW2. They perpetrated some really horrendous torture on the Chinese.

Japan has an unfair playing field in the world economy. If they were to contribute to our defense budget we could lead the world again in manufacturing goods. We should bill them the billions we spend to protect their sovereignty. Theirs is a false economy.

I remember the story in which several old Japanese soldiers were found on a deserted island still carrying on the war after all those years. When they finally talked them into surrendering, they said they were unhappy at first when they were told that Japan had lost the war. But later when they saw how much influence they had on the world enconomy, they said “well we won the war after all!” By the way, I understand that Japan’s schools teach their children that “Japan was right in the War!”
