"If Japanese hadn't fought the white people, we would still be slaves of the white people. It would be colonization. We changed that."

Tokyo Gov Shintaro Ishihara, insisting that Japan need not apologize for its wartime invasion of neighboring Asian countries, arguing that Japan did Asia a favor by delivering it from Western imperialism. (AP)

I agree with you on this soulpower (a record). Ridiculous comment, Japan would be like North Korea if it wasn't for the Allies rebuilding the economy. Hope he is in the minority in thought over there on this issue

The fact that you can read Japan Today in English proves to me our influence on the Asian culture. I'm pretty sure you can't read USA Today in Japanese. We're an easy scapegoat for all the rest of the world's problems. I like it that way, the more they complain about us the more power we have over them.--Penny
