 I have one. If I can find out those magazine in the school library,
I will upload them to make all of us look and learn the war and the
brutality must not be repeated again as long as the opponents do not
threaten the world security such as the attack of MARS.

Possibly true. Maybe another censorship. Sometimes censorship may be
necessary if that action can make a benifit for the world security and
stability. But in this case, it may be another intention to hide the
facts from the general public of Japan. As the ministry of education
of Japan worries about, they may think that those shocking photos and
history MAY lead their cute, smart and precious kids to MENTAL DIASORDER . 


So third parties must have kept those files, documents and photos for ever,
and when somebody who has not exposed to those miserable history which
was misguided by Japanese Government of today is willing to insist and to 
be proud
of only the bright side fo Japan's history, we need to show and to let them
know that onetime in the past of Japan, she has ever done lots of shameful 
things to the neighbours which she will love someday.

We need to learn lots of instructions and lessons from the past history.
But human being is atp to forget his past and tends to repeat the same 
thing again and again. 

Therefore not to forget the misery done by one people to another people,
the History must be accurate as it can, and we have to teach it to
our generation whether it is shamful of not.

From the dark side, we can learn how we can not make our society sick and egony,from the bright side, we also can learn how we can make it better and more 
harmonious. 

I hope I can find out lots of vivid documents and proofs of the failur of
we human beings have ever done as well as what Past Japan did in the past.

This is new task thru the rest of my life upon the research of my major
field. And this is the one I have learned from the recent discussion of
topic related to 'Open......'.

I appreciate all of you netters who did not hesitate to talk their opinions
so that we can have anothe view point of thinking, especially I
appreciate the several Japanese who post the fresh and positive and
most hornest facts which are happenign in Today's Japanese Society.

THE MORE WE TALK WITH HONEST, THE MORE WE CAN BE CLOSE.
HUMAN BEING IS OF SOUL AND SPRIT AND THE HONESTY CAN MOVE ONE'S MIND THAT
ONLY WORDS CAN NOT DO..
