About twenty years ago I attended the annual meeting of my professional society, which that year was held in Hawaii. I made a point of doing touristy things while I was there, including visiting the Arizona memorial.

While I was on the Arizona, a boatload of Japanese tourists pulled up. I wanted to shout, "Why are you here. Did you come to see your handiwork?" But of course I didn't. Nor was it fair. All of those tourists had been born after 1941. It was none of their doing. Still, it shows how deep the feelings are of those of us who were alive then.

I imagine they were showing their respect, the Japanese have been well-pacified since WWII.
