I’m not endorsing this email, nor am I condemning it. I just find it interesting:

I completely disagree with this reader:

As a Korean whose grandparents suffered under Japanese colonialism, and has numerous grand-relatives tortured to death by the Japanese, I do not think seeing Japan with a powerful military is a good thing. Have people already forgotten the depths of Japan’s atrocities in China, Korea, and Southeast Asia during WWII, or how the Japanese refuse to acknowledge these events (in stark contrast with the Germans)? Even older Australian professors I’ve had still harbor a great deal of anger towards Japan’s actions during WWII, and a great deal of shock at how the western world has brushed these events under the global rug.
I see nothing from Japan which proves that it would use these weapons responsibly, and I think it would be a grave mistake to suddenly label China as the great aggressor. When I think of marauding forces in Asia, I think of Japan and the Mongols, not China. China has always treated Korea fairly decently, sans women stealing raids and all. I’d take that anyday over the last 700 years Japan has been looting, pillaging, and raping Korea. I concede that China has a reprehensible government, but the Chinese have behaved far more admirably than the Japanese.
One only needs to look at the pictures and read the logs from Unit 731 to gain the slightest inkling of the gulf that separates these two cultures.
Respectfully,
