Please let me know if this would continue to be your judgement if this were to tip the delicate scales
and cause Japan to decide either to attack Russia or to attack the Dutch East indies.

"The Japanese had, in fact, already sued for peace before the atomic age was announced to the world
with the destruction of Hiroshima and before the Russian entry into the war."

ヘンリー・フォード、意訳
「歴史は多かれ少なかれごまかしだ・・我々は現在に生きているし、価値があるのは現在の歴史だ」
History is more or less bunk.
We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.
For the most part Japan has problems understanding how Americans and the West communicate Information,
It's quite different Japan. From 1953-1989 Japan only had to deal with US/UK perceptions on the war,
as China and South Korea had not formed fully their revision of history and promote it to the world.
The Chinese and Koreans were very smart about marketing their version of history. And that's what
it is Marketing.Japan believes that the truth and pure intent will be enough. And if the truth is heard,
people will naturally believe it if they have pure intent.That's not the case in the West at all.
We have to market and sell ideas as much as products. Civil Rights wa not won only by marches and
speeches, but by movies,TV shows, books, etc. The Japanese don't seem serious in presenting their
side of the story. Compare other nations and how they have to constantly market their views in the US.
Even Israel, whom many Americans genuinely lobe, must constantly "sell" its version of events in
the Middle East to combat various Islamic radical versions.Japan is also working against not only
China and the Koreas continual promotion, but against the vision of how America sees itself. To
challenge the belief that America fought WW2 in the Pacific for anything less than to free it from a
tyrannical grip of oppression creates a big issue in the US mind. The reality of the Pacific War
is the same geopolitics as any other war we have fought,we were just very good at propaganda,and the
story stuck, Its almost an emotional equivalent of telling an American their grandfather is a liar.
Japan needs to show how their version does not reduce the American military individual sacrifices.
Each sides soldiers fought for what they believed was right.Japan is also up against a very powerful
lobby that spends of money enticing American press, academics, and politicians to China and Korea
treats them well. This "charm program" sadly wins over to many. Promises of big profit in a Chinese
market for media companies compound this problem, and the Chinese government has no problem playing
hardball with a media outlet that they don't like by barring entry in the Chinese market. Everyone
in the US from Hollywood to New York knows this and sadly too many play along.

But the significant thing is not that they happen, but that, even when they are known about, they provoke no reaction from the left-wing intelligentsia as a whole. The argument that to tell the truth would be ‘inopportune’ or would ‘play into the hands of’ somebody or other is felt to be unanswerable, and few people are bothered by the prospect of the lies which they condone getting out of the newspapers and into the history books. http://orwell.ru/library/essays/prevention/english/e_plit
"One obvious thought occurs to me—that every Japanese citizen or non-citizen on the Island of Oahu who meets these Japanese ships or has any connection with their officers or men should be secretly but definitely identified and his or her name placed on a special list of those who would be the first to be placed in a concentration camp in the event of trouble." http://encyclopedia.densho.org/FDR_Hawaii_Memo/
