The Japanese: They're Blind

And they're blind, blind blind

No sense of harmony,
No sense of time,
Don't mention harmony,
Say: What is it? What is it? What is it?
--Talking Heads

Japan's first bad move was approving the whitewashed history texts...now the Prefectures are using them.

via Yomiuri Shinbun:

"We are convinced that with this (textbook) adoption, children will grow up to have pride and love for the country of Japan," Ryu Onuma, Otawara's education chief, told a news conference.

Critics, however, say the texts play down the 1937 Nanjing Massacre and ignore the sexual enslavement of women for Japanese soldiers and depicts Japanese wartime actions as aimed at liberating other parts of Asia.

Stupid Stupid Stupid. No one in Japan should be wondering why their neighbours detest them.

The Thais really appreciated their 'liberation' from thousands of years of un-colonized freedom.
