So Japan bears no responsibility for its own actions? Or that the sufferings of the Chinese, the Koreans, and the Vietnamese just prior to WWII should be ignored?
Yes and no.
Japan was acting in its perceived national self interest, just as each and every other nation acts in its perceived national self interest. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, but its the winners that judge. I would go so far as to argue that japans actions in Asia were no different thatn ours in Vietnam, but hey to the victors go the spoils
