Good. Japanese Statesmen and Statewomen should visit cemeteries dedicated to the war dead. It is not o ly their compassionate spiritual right, but wise historically and in terms of a reminder. Our leaders visit Arlington. Paying respect, contemplation, and meditation to those lost in the igonrance, foolishness, arrogance, stupidity, wastefulness, pain, suffering, tragedy, and irreparable loss of war is a moving, humbling, enlightening, thoughtful, and growing experience. It doesn't matter that 1% of the bodies there once we're attached to the greatest spiritual victims of atrocious war campaigns, like the generals who prosecuted the wars under ancient cultural regulations that controlled their lives (the "war criminals"), for they paid with thier souls, conscience, consciousness, lives, reputation, and deaths; they couldn't change, and we can't change them or what happened -- but we could stop repeating their misteps By pausing near their graves, and by shamefully castigating with hatred those who have the character to do so. Lest we forget. Lest we forget. Shame and scorn upon us all, lest we forget and repeat their missteps.
