While it's perfectly right to decry Japanese ultra-nationalists lets not get too smug. There are forces in this country right now who are interested in re-writing history, obscuring current affairs and hobbling any news outlet that does not toe the line. Unless good people start standing up we'll wind up with 'white Australia' and the stolen generations forgotten, piracy on the high seas, and testosterone and hubris dominating the public discourse. The battle for the past, and the future, is here and now.
