It's about time they found a balance between pacifism and conquest.How long until the scale tips back to Japan of the 1930s-1940s? Who wants to find out?

I'm not claiming to be an expert on Japanese culture, but having lived here for 14 years I do know more about Japan than just what I've read in Pacific War history books (and I have many).
Japanese society is so far removed from what it was in the '30s-'40s that the return to militarism you fear just doesn't seem likely. Do you worry also about Italian and German militarism? After all, they were fascist states at the same time as Japan. Or have they somehow "grown" more than Japanese?
