Korean history is far more rvaeelnt to the future than anything out of Japan. South Korea was the poorest country in the world in 1960 & 28 years later ROK were hosting the Olympic Games. If the two Koreas hadn’t been created Korea would be wealthier than Japan. As bad as North Korea is it is still the model Marx state. A terrible achievement but in left wing terms North Korea is a successful country. Japan’s postwar wealth creation was due to the destruction of the Japan government by US occupation forces. It took around 30 to 40 yrs for the Japanese government to reassert itself over the private sector and the results are plain to see.It’s pretty much the same when comparing Japanese history to Korean pre 1890.(South) Korea has the historical building blocks that Japan doesn’t.

The self-defense argument is painfully open-ended. A good percentage of Muslims believe that they’re being persecuted and humiliated at all times by the big Western bully — therefore any attack made against the west is self-defense. As far as they’re concerned, the people inside the trade center were enemy combatants, guilty of a near-constant affront to Allah.
