As I recently sat in the shadow of the Washington monument enjoying a cold
soft beverage and contemplating Americas' greatness and tolerance I was
approached by a group of camera-toting Japanese tourists. Upon their
inquiring as to where they might find the Washington monument, which lay at
their very feet, my compadre quickly rose and responded in my stead:

You didn't have any trouble finding Pearl Harbor at 6:00 a.m. dec. 7th did
you?... you little yellow *******s.

I was set aside by my friends animus... yet still to be digested was his
quick-witted diatribe.

In the meanwhile I am both disgusted by his cold and bigoted reply, yet
further I am moved by his inability to forgive the heinous acts perpetrated
by the Japanese Monarchy upon our sovereign and great nation.

I for one feel we should forgive, lest not forget the lessons we have been
so oddly fortunate to have learned from our incredible and checkered
national history.

If we do not respond similarly in this days climate... what may lie ahead
for our Children?

IMHO

Please remove the XXX prefix from the address if you're compelled to
respond.

Met an elderly Japanese gentleman while having brunch today. Long
story short, his family was a victim of the American war crimes,
specifically the dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. I've never felt
so ashamed to be an American. I couldn't bow low enough in apology for
this nation.
