Historians
read the past to understand what is happening today. There is another way of
looking at history by looking at what is happening today to understand what
happened in the past. The history of Japan during WW2 is still
cloaked with controversies. Who were the real villains that led Japan to its barbaric invasion
of Asia and South East Asian? The
verdict at the military tribunal put the blame on the Emperor Hirohito, the
father of present Emperor of Japan. Many members of the royal families were
also found guilty, among them many princes who held command positions in the
Imperial Army.
Did
the tribunal nailed the real culprits that led Japan to the disastrous war or
the Emperor Hirohito was made a scapegoat and the politicians and soldiers who
wanted the war and did the butchering of the people they invaded? Emperor
Akhihito is now touring the Pacific countries, including Japan and is showing remorse
and repentance to the victims of the Japanese invasion and barbarity. He acknowledged the crimes of Japan in WW2 but was not
allowed to say much by the politicians, just like his father during the WW2.
The Emperor was just a figure head if what is happening today was the same as
the past. The politicians called the shot then and now. Japan was dragged into WW2 by
the politicians and the soldiers, not by the Emperor.
While
the Emperor and other members of the Imperial household have spoken about the
horrors of wars, and feeling repentance over the criminal acts of the Japanese
Imperial Armies and the politicians then, the politicians today are shutting up
the Emperor and embarking a another mission to rearm Japan, tearing away the
pacifist Constitution, and going around the world thumping their chests that
they would want to engage in wars. They are building more weapons of wars and signing
military alliances and supporting and agitating for wars.
Should
Japan embark on WW3 and lose,
the fingers must point directly at the politicians and Shinzo Abe and his
gang in the govt. They are the ones that are pushing Japan to the path of militarism
and war. The Imperial household has nothing to do with what the politicians are
doing and wanting to commit Japan on a war path.
In
the next war tribunal, the Japanese Emperor must not be made another scapegoat
to take the blame from the politicians. The evidence is all there and mounting
up daily, the deeds and words of Abe and his gangs of militants.

Woah !
Current Japanese Emperor not to be blamed in future mikitary tribunal ?
He will not be one unless his spirit can be summoned.
Will there be a need for tribunal if WW3 happens ? Maybe a century later and that will be meaningless.
Japan could very well becomes Loulan Quo should WW3 happens. Japanese today cannot be that foolish or rash like their forefathers.
They want to enjoy living in peace.
Do not be unduely worry.
After WWII, Japan was occupied by US and its constitution was changed.
Japan was not allowed to have offensive powers and it was only allow to have self defense force. A lot of the weaponary today in Japan Arsenal mainly consists of short range and non offensive weapons. eg. why its F15J is still the air defence variant F15C series.
This is very different from those days where it can design its own rifle, zero fighter, bombers, carriers etc....
Of course some asian neighbours are now worried that this Abe is changing the constitution to change the ban ruling.
On the contrary, China nows seem to be the intimidating one that bypass negotiation and participating in arbituary process while it is building its short range and long range offensive capability at a alarming speed. Reclaiming reefs and drilling in disputed waters despite protest goes unheeded.
The Pinoys are looking for another 'jab' on their backside by the Japs without knowing it. The Japs are famous for their ninja style attacks by stealth.
By the way, the Japs are the foremost inventor of stealth technology with their ninja warriors, so don't credit the Americans with inventing it.
