I'm not entirely sure as to the motive of posting this article here...
First of all, some technical things.
It would be much easier to read if there were paragraphs and it was properly
aligned.
Chances are, readers may be more accepting of an article, if simply because it
is easier on the eyes.
With that out of the way. Seeing as this is a sensitive subject, it is best to
let the readers know why you would write/post something like this. Is it the
anniversary of a certain event, or is it to commemorate a person or simply a
release of some pent-up emotion? Having your motive known may help the readers
empathize with your point of view.
I'm guessing from the final sentence, you're somewhat indignant that a person
who has supposedly committed such atrocities is in the employ of the US, whom
supposedly is a nation that support human rights and does not condone such
actions.
Another thing is that there are quite a few accusations in this article. It
would be essential to reference or cite sources regarding such statements.
One, to make the article that more convincing, and two, to provide a basis
for reasonable debate.
I'm not sure how many Japanese users use PTT, but if they were to stumble upon
this article, they could be inflamed by such blanket accusations without
proper references.
I for one don't know much about these things save for what I've been taught in
school, and I've learned that many things that are taught in school aren't
entirely neutral nor always truthful.
People and nations have done horrible things to fellow human beings, in the
past, right now in the present, and perhaps so, but hopefully won't, in the
future. For me, reading history and articles like these serve to remind me that
there are those capable of untold evil and perhaps some should do something to
prevent such things from happening, ever again.
But (the following here is my opinion) there is really no country in the
world right now that can claim absolute moral authority and criticize other
nations of wrongdoings. Not Japan, not China, and not even the US. Sad world
we live in now, huh?
