I've added an article about Japan heading into the nationalist direction. It talks about the govt. wanting the young people to embrace and love Japan more than it does now, and it seems the current Japanese administration wants to tell the world that it is not ashamed of it's past aggressions. Now I can see how some people would say how bad that is, and I also feel this is not a path to win friends but more like make enemies while boosting the national pride. At the same time I can't say because I don't know but America does the same, there is an anti-Japanese feeling in Korea and China.
I recently read in J.times opinion that The latest U.S. policy on N.Korea (which may move into a softer negotiation) isolates Abe, doesn't stand as firmly with Japan as previously which can put Abe in a position more likely to pursue his/Japans own independent solution to N.Korea, such as nukes, etc.

A book titled "Who was responsible, from the Marco Polo bridge to Pearl Harbor" it looks interesting, maybe it will have insight into todays events.
I find this a bit hard to swallow isnt every country nationalistic and whitewash their history, obviously the US, but take a look at China in post war peace an estimated 70 million dead, bet thats not covered in the Chinese text books and what do you think they drill into the kids in school certainly not love thy neighbor
