Your Enola Gay editorial stated that "veterans and members of Congress who sought the exhibit's change ... must also be willing to present history as it truly happened."

You apparently support this quote from the exhibit: "For most Americans it was a war of vengeance. For most Japanese, it was a war to DEFEND (my capitalization) their unique culture against western imperialism." DEFEND --I don't suppose the nice little boy or girl who wrote the editorial ever heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that started the war. What about the unique Chinese culture the Japanese attempted to destroy with their invasion of China in 1936. Tell me little one, have you ever heard of the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, Corregidor, Iwo Jima, Singapore and many other places, not American or of the the West, that the Japanese invaded, raped and pillaged. Next time you are boozing up watching the late night version of The Bridge on the River Kwai, remember that there is a graveyard with tens of thousands who died under the Japanese whip building that railroad.

With the revisionist history that IS common in our schools you need not worry that negative aspects of our history will be neglected. If anything, they are emphasized and the good of the United States is only a footnote. What the Enola Gay incident has done is given us a "rare glimpse of the corruption of our institutions of national culture." It's fashionable to bash everything that has made this country great. You won't appreciate this until you grow up and see how the world lives. You may then know why the rest of the world wants to come here. The freedom that WE DEFENDED against the Japanese is what they yearn for, the freedom that you scatterbrains treat with such contempt.
