Thread has taken an interesting turn hasn't it?

I watched a special on Pearl Harbor on the History Channel last night. The participants on both sides were and are interesting. In 92 they started to get together at the Arizona Memorial and now have also met in Japan. These men and women have tried to overcome the hatreds of the times and its very touching listening to their stories. Equally compelling are the stories of the ones that can never forgive or forget....ie, an Arizona survivor burned over 70% of his body who lost best friends standing beside him. I wonder if I could let go of the hatred he has?

On the other hand, several Japanese pilots felt shame for the attack. They were told that the US would be notified 30 minutes ahead of the actual attack. Its a part of the Bushido code to awaken a sleeping enemy before you attack him. Because the message was not delivered, many of the pilots felt shame for the surprise attack.

Interesting world.
