On the other hands, the author also described Japan need it a lesson and take responsibility for their action. Not only did Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, they also invaded China and overtook the entire continent of Asia. Many other Asian countries suffered from Japan aggression and abusive actions. furthermore, the author explains the atomic bombs was a balance to equalize their evil commitment in World War II.
I have encounter this topic before about World War II history. I believe people should looked forward to the future and learned from mistake. Still, in today societies the atomic bomb was a bit hurtful to Japan. I believe Japan want to demonstrate their pain from what they suffered from and what is it like. It likely, that other countries can not understand their emotion, but if we do a comparison of 911 incident or other country suffer from attack perhaps, one will understand the points, or realize how much it do affect people deep feelings. Indeed, Any innocent people that is being hurt is not acceptable.
The two article do express powerful scene and described pitiful stories line.
Do you think these two stories changed people perspectives about Japan action in WW II?
