I wonder if folks here realise that Sakai is also American and born to an American born father? Sakai doesn’t have to add to his cartoon caveats mentioning the atrocities the Japanese also committed in order to make his viewpoint valid. Some posters here are so anxious to express their outrage at the apparent criticism and hurt national pride by justifying their nation’s atrocity that they do not see that Sakai is simply expressing the shame America (or at least some Americans) does feel, whether you feel it was justified or not, as regards the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki. I see it as an American expressing a noble sentiment and should be celebrated as such on its anniversary date(s).
