I really can't believe people are claiming Pearl Harbor as a reason not to buy Japanese cars.
Hirohito was despised by his people. The Japanese actually called for his head after WWII; not for losing the war, but for war crimes such as fire-bombing his own soil and forcing the country to enter a war that very few of the Japanese wanted to fight. The Japanese were actually very supportive of the Americans that came and restructured the country. The people that run the country today are the sons and daughters of those who wanted nothing to do with the war.
Yes, the lessons of the past are important. Let's just make sure that we know what the past actually was.
