Can Japan Ever Truly Pay for it' s Sins?
Today December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day - is a good day to remember that the US isn't always the instigator.

What does it mean to, "pat for one's sins?"

¥5679 should cover it.

Like slavery and genocide of Native Americans was peachy keen, and lets not mention the Japanese American prison camps we had.

Humans are unfortunately tribal, and sure, I am glad the west won the war. But lets not glorify it. Japan is our ally now. 

My x wife is Japanese, and her grandparents were alive in Japan during that time.

That was a use fee.  We sent them the charge for services rendered in the 80's and 90's. Had to give them time to rebuild something worth leveraging, you know.

Actually, the issue is not clear cut at all.   If the roles of the US and Japan were reversed, and the US found itself in the position Japan found herself in November 1941, I have no doubt the US would have decided to go to overt hostility at or around that time as well.

Due to its testosterone driven self-righteous view of Pearl Harbor and total unwillingness to contextualize the event, the US really learned no real fundamental lessons from it at all.  Which is fundamentally why the US found itself currently at such logger heads with Russia regarding Ukraine and NATO Expansion into the former Soviet Union, and with China over Taiwan.
