We really need to treat this “”apologies for historic wrongs” fetish of the political Left as the childish nonsense it is.
Current people of Japan, Germany, the US, the UK etc have nothing to apologize for. They had no role in the polices and the decision the political Leftist are demanding apologies for.
It merely an intellectually infantile debate tactics.
The left wants to argument that because of this irrelevant historic fact (i.e. segregation, slavery, “war crimes” etc) you must embrace our radical Leftist political agenda now.
No we don't.
About four years ago a great book re-writing history, came out showing the level of involvement by Harry Dexter White on behalf of the Soviets in forcing Japan into attacking us at Pearl rather than the Soviets.
FDR’s government was riddled with Soviet agents and sympathizers. Nixon made his chops as a congressman dragging these high class ivy league communists into congressional hearing.
Buy Operation Snow by John Koster. Very documented in its assertions. It shows how the leftist press hid this just like it hid all the others exposed by Chambers.
In other words; just POLITICALLY CORRECT MENTAL MASTURBATION.
