Japan-Prussian solution

The decision of 150 Japanese right-wingers to land on the Diaoyu Islands and pay their respects to the Japanese military personnel who died in World War II casts a whole new light on what previously had been just a territorial dispute. For all we know, Japan could be on way to reviving its militarist past that caused China and much of the rest of the world so much anguish and pain.

Since Japan is demonstrating that it can no longer live in peace and harmony with its neighbors like China, Russia and South Korea, it's time we took a look at the Prussian solution.
