I find so many conspiracy theorist posting hate about American History. They are everywhere even on this forum. American people are just like anyone not perfect but you back your country you live in and are a citizen you don't go around bashing its history. Last one I read was someone saying how Japan was not the aggressor WW2 they were being sanctioned by the United States so Japan's Attack on Pearl Harbor was justified. They left out the reason Japan was being sanctioned was they had invaded China and other country's.

Well, Germany was fighting for Germans.

Japan wanted to conquer the world, and they have.

Their products are purchased world-wide.

Driving a Honda tortures the Chinese.

You do realize that is correct no? The US initiated economic warfare again Japan...the only way to break Americas stranglehold on Japan was for Japan to strike militarily. It was also well known that Japan was going to but up until then there was no legit reason to join the fight against Japan and Germany. No "america haters" just realists and people that understand America never has been and never will be without fault.

Yes, the irony is that numerous foreigners can write (not necessarily speak) English, and can express their thoughts in English, a lot better than native-born Americans. Sad, in a way.

Listen, we were taught history as described solely from the perspective of the Americans. The Japanese (or whatever) were taught history solely from the perspective of the Japanese. As much as we would love to believe that Americans are always "right" (whatever that is), history has taught us that is simply not the case every single time. Ever see the classic movie Rashomon? Five people can witness the same event, and they come away with five different versions of it, depending on their desired outcome, perspective, etc.
