For many younger Japanese, the outcry from Asian countries over the Education Ministry's decision in April to approve a revisionist junior high school history textbook may be hard to understand. After all, no one is forcing schools to buy the book, and in fact, few have. Also, the events its writers are accused of distorting, particularly those concerning Japan's war in China, happened very long ago, in a past that grows hazier with every old soldier's death.
