The Japanese government set out to treat other people really inhumanely, but the Japanese guards/army etc, that administered the orders of their superiors, are not evil people, they are just human with human weaknesses.

It's in no way fair to say it is the make up or DNA of a country.

What is a country then? maybe it is the language that is dividing us. What is a country and what do you understand the "DNA" of a country to mean?

I would say the "DNA" of a country is judged by it's actions and it's intentions. I would say that Japan could accurately be described as evil on both scores.

So what is your disagreement? spell it out for me.
