| | ABC News: In Japan, new nationalism takes hold (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | But as a new generation seeks to shed the remnants of what is commonly called the "American occupation" legacy, a range of speech and ideas previously frowned on or ignored, is showing up sharply in mainstream culture. |
 | | The new nationalist sentiment is seen in popular magazines that use provocative language to advocate a more militaristic Japan, question the legitimacy of the Tokyo war-crimes trials, and often cast racist aspersions on China and Korea. |
 | | The new tone is coupled with the rise of China, fears associated with North Korea, perennial questions of identity and comes as America, Japan's main ally and security guarantor, is bogged down in Iraq. |
