This morning, Rev. Mike spoke about the relationship between the US and Japan after World War 2. How do you change a country’s values? How did Japan become an ally of the United States? Under General MacArthur, the United States basically ran Japan for seven years, insisting on equal rights for all and supporting labor unions. Some of MacArthur’s tactics were not what we as Unitarian Universalists would support. Changing values is not easy and it is messy. So, what came of the occupation of Japan? The future.
