Which makes me appreciate all the more that I was fortunate enough to spend some time in Japan, where the perspectives are different. <br /><br />A lifetime of propaganda clearly is tough to get past. The stone-set mind set that seems to dominate the Middle East makes me mad every single day (why are they still fighting over the same things as they did 60 years ago?!?)

And I appreciated the history lesson because in the United States history only exists in the western hemisphere. We don't learn anything about whatever is over on that other side.<br /><br />I think mostly your philosophy holds, but that a lifetime of propaganda is really hard to get past. Think of the middle east, or the India/Pakistan conflicts. Anyplace where people are indoctrinated in an 'us/them' mindset, there is trouble SEEING the individuals.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.com
