your example of 1963 South Vietnamese Coup shows U.S. RECOGNIZED ITS MISTAKE of supporting Diệm.

> (buddhist priests killed by Diệm's army and police)/ In response, the US government was concerned about the possibility "for the Dim/Nhu government to succeed and for us [the United States] to continue to support them."

> Japan will have to find a way to get along with China

It'll be very difficult to "get along with China"... China (PRC) is the New Thug Nation

Look at China building "island bases" on South China Sea (ironic name, because the area is bordering Vietnam/Malaysia/Philippines)

China's trying to claim what isn't 100% its own out of greed, even though the bordering countries are protesting

to be fair, you should mention what North Vietnamese government did AFTER the war: concentration camps, "New Economic Zones" that forced land from South Vietnamese, and the resulting boat people...

I'm very impressed with your skill of justification using:

> "Yes, a small cadre of extremists did this"

Also where's the source for "they were kicked out of the Japanese Communist Party"?

Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Communist_Party#Post-...

> Then after the Korean War broke out, the party staged some acts of terrorism or sabotage, which resulted in a loss of popular confidence.

the plane kidnapping wasn't the only one - it's one of many

> the Japanese radical left ... appealed to me as a classic David and Goliath struggle, with a small group of idealistic young anti-war activists

well those 'David's coordinated with N.Korea to kidnap people to North korea...

One famous example: Japanese Airlines 351 - kidnapped a plane & tried to take everyone to N. Korea (but S. Korean gov. fooled them into believing Kimpo airport as a N.Korean one...)
