I find it quite inspirational visiting Pearl Harbor and seeing the Japanese faces. It is a testament to the power of the USA and the attraction to liberty. We are now on relatively good terms wir Japan. Although, Obama is doing whatever he can to bring the US down.
And when I see and work with Japanese I don't even think about it. That was another generation. Just that it was poignant standing there at the Arizona memorial.
I even remember the late 70s and early 80s when Japanese automobile manufacturers were displacing American car manufactures and we were worried that they might take over the world economy with cars and electronics. Of course, that never happened. The United States survived. And the Cold War ended and communism fell too.
And even after these threats, both militarily and economic, America survives.
