70th Anniversary!

I've been watching the ceremonies on NHK, but always think of the millions killed in Korea and China by the Japanese invasions, not to mention the rest of Asia in Imperial Japan's attempt to form the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." I think Japan still has a way to go to fess up to history. I don't fault Truman's decision to save all the lives from an Allied invasion, and CERTAINLY JAPAN should bless it's lucky stars for all the Japanese degradation an invasion would have costs. Just like guns, the Bomb saved lives. But the liberal press don't seem to mention these facts, just the 'atomic maidens.'
