Not all bad is bad nor all good is good . Occupation was necessary, however not ideal , but in order to make something from the rubbles. I understand this has been painted by both sides in different ways. Think of this though... At that point the fact was that the bomb had been already dropped , so for the usa or others to have just left it would have been the end of relations with the west and possibly leaving Japan as a 3rd world country. I don't like any war but understanding that from each side's individual angle is most respectful and important to consider. I am against big Governments , but still see a need for laws governed by citizens and not the mega conglomerates ,capital seekers, or even polite society . They think we all need saving from unseen "Offenses" , but what we really need is a return to humanity where we try to understand the opposite views and not to shut them down, but to actively listen to all angles as a good student of truth.
Politicians in Capitalist and Marxist countries both attempt to solve an issue that would be self-healing if not for the heavy hand of things like world governments and others who would stand in the way of how you might want to live your life. Imagine if we went backwards in time 500 years... we would be very displaced with laws and customs outside our own. I think in light of these contemplations , I really have to wonder how compromised would one have to be to believe all of just one side when it comes to Government as a base-line irrelevant of type or culture...
This is what I love though discussing the hard questions we all ponder and sometimes we may never get an answer, but it sure is nice to have other people to share this crazy world with that don't think everything the same way I do...
So can we agree on that?
