Do you think that, given the opportunity, they would commit the same atrocities as their ancestors?

Can those traditionalist views be separated from those atrocities or do those views, given no restraint, inevitably lead to the atrocities? If they would, would that Japanese people allow them to stay in power if they undertook steps in that direction?

Important questions that would need answers before I would revert my opinion to one I might have held if alive 80 years ago.
