@scott We’ve not apologized for Dresden either. I don’t think that kind of politics of apology or recognition is useful. “Name acknowledgements” don’t do anything to redress past wrongs, but they contribute to contemporary rivalries, weaponizing expressive virtue that often itself becomes a kind of competitive vice. We moved past Hiroshima/Nagasaki by adhering and contributing to a nuclear taboo that has held since, and by a relationship of continuing friendship and support with Japan.
