The author's Japanophilia masquerading as social insight is laughable. His cute anecdote illustrating the self aware remorse of the Japanese is of one doctor who has a shrine in his living room. I wonder if in his extensive travels he's ever visited Yasukuni shrine.

More laughable is that he assumes that there is not one person in the variety of cultures he collectively calls thar who has done something similar.

Yes that was strange. My understanding is that the teaching of the war is highly controversial in Japan.
