It\u2019s time to move on<\/a>. \u00a0We can\u2019t blame future generations for past atrocities. \u00a0Mark that opinion well folks. \u00a0It\u2019s worth noting that most of the hatred, rage, anger and refusal to forgive over the atomic bombings comes not from Japan, but from Americans, Europeans, and others who pretty much hate and despise the US anyway. \u00a0Japan, perhaps out of a sense of reality, a sense of honor, or because it doesn\u2019t want to stir up too many old memories from others, seems pretty content with trying to learn actual lessons while letting bygones be bygones. \u00a0Lessons we can all use, but are only valuable if we learn them all, rather than cherry pick the ones that help advance this agenda or that ideology. <\/p>\n
