General MacArthur did have a big part In the re-writing of Japan's constitution at the end of WW II. That has caused problems that could not be seen 50-60 years later.

Everybody likes to beat up on Japan for it's limited military participation in world events but it was the US who wrote that into their constitution.

You can look at all the information you have but in the end you have to balance all the information and then make your choice of options.

Time changes the view of world events and the people who look back and say what they would have done seem to have 20/20 vision. Politicians seem to have perfect 20/20 rear view vision.
