American in Hiroshima...

[MMM]

Maybe it was harsh, but you need to open your eyes and step into the 21st Century.

Obviously you are trying by being here, and I feel for you if you were brought up in a racist home.

Better you hear the smack-down in Japan Forums than in Japan, when the person you piss off would be standing right in front of you.

An American going to Hiroshima, which was destroyed, what with the WMDs and all, by Americans. Would this be considered disrespectful? Maybe its just me - But I wouldn't want to see a Japanese person at Pearl Harbor.

the war is over.. its time to realize what it did to the world so that it wont happen again.

Ive seen lots of foreigners in Hiroshima of all kinds, especially americans cause there is a US base nearby.

As you say, not all americans are foul same goes with the Japanese. Not all Japanese wanted that war, so why would you prevent them from visiting Pearl harbor if it can help them/us realize the devastating effect of war??

History books are not balanced. How can people realize what happened from a book of lies? It has happened again, a few times now. And it will continue to happen, again and again...

most of the history books are written by the victors, so its never balanced, its always bias.

But you can put a bullet through it ! ... Sorry, that was rude.

Anyway, I dont wanne go there. Dont see why. I know what happened. And I dont need to grow any more anger at the united states reminding me of all the children they killed. As just as it might be to hate them, it really wont get you no where...
