I know, I'm stupid and don't know anything about proper diplomatic procedures. Howsomeever, I still can't believe that the president of the USA, and therefore, the United States, actually bowed and I mean that sucker got real low, before the emperor of Japan. History used to be one of my favorite subjects. I love history. Somehow I thought that WE won the Second World War and the emperor of the aforementioned Japan, the defeated notion, was permitted by General of The Armies, Douglas MacArthur and President Harry S. Truman to remain as emperor only having to deny his "divinity. This was allegedly done in order to more easily gain the willing obedience of the again aforementioned defeated Japanese peoples. WTF, over? Just sayin....
