Acknowledging the Past
A nation's refusal to come to grips with its past is more a sign of weakness, than of strength. Making peace with your past makes you stronger and more able to deal with future challenges.  The inability to do so, is disturbing, to say the least. Denial and bullying the victim only delays the recognition that must ultimately come.
