Confronting history

Whether everyone agrees or not, Australia is confronting the dark chapters of the past, and maybe it is necessary to do so due primarily to the multicultural aspect of our population.
This can be debated, of course, but the fact remains that it is a confrontation that I think will be ultimately beneficial. And it is far more than can be said for the Japanese - who never mention the Ainu, never mention wars with China and Korea, and still maintain this aura of separate-ness from the rest of the human race (superiority complex?? --> still heavily sprinkled with inferiority... It's a psychologist's field day here!!!!)
