Leeper says his appointment by Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba has been largely supported because he can bridge the language gap and foster a more "cosmopolitan" Hiroshima.
"There have been some people outside Hiroshima who have written letters complaining after my appointment got into the national press. But really very few," he said. "By far, it's mostly enthusiastic praise of the mayor for putting me here, and taking such a bold step."

Propaganda is such a sad historical tool. As is treason, whenever it occurs.

Imagine if Poland had allowed a Pole to be hired by factions in Germany after the war to argue that what Germany had done to Poland in 1939 was actually a good thing?
In my universe, he would have been found torn limb from limb very shortly after the fact.

Imagine if Poland had allowed a Pole to be hired by factions in Germany after the war to argue that what Germany had done to Poland in 1939 was actually a good thing? In my universe, he would have been found torn limb from limb very shortly after the fact.

And rightfully so. Ditto for any Pole who would do the same for Russia.
