I don't have a problem with keeping an eye on Japan, Germany, etc. Don't be naive and think that for one second those countries wouldn't build back up and try again if we allowed it to happen. The mindset is still prevalent over there
I highly doubt it is. I have German and Japanese friends, and while they may be somewhat hostile to some of the groups they traumatized, they would never go to the extremes they did in the Second World War. The Holocaust and the Rape if Nanking even they can see that they were both among the biggest and most horrifying atrocities committed by mankind.
This is a different world. A world of trade and really peace. A Holocaust or invasion of a major country to where all the citizens are raped and killed isn't going to fly remotely anymore. You need to get this worldview out of your mind.

Agreed. I'm not worried about atrocities and war crimes. I'm worried about arms races and cold wars threatening trade. Just because I would be in favor of absolutely free trade with and between all nations doesn't mean most leaders share my ideas.
