My uncle died in the Philippines defending against the Japanese invasion.

The treatment of American and Filipino prisoners wasn't very nice.

I am sure that some probably got a little payback for the atrocities committed during the war.

Yes they did.

We should learn to remember our history it's a great guide. The Japanese today are great allies, but when we went to war with them WE WENT TO WAR. It's possible that in the long term 40-50 years the middle east Arabs will become great allies too, but in the mean time we should really go to WAR.
