Tanks for the demonstration. Everybody was more or less on hitler's side after Munich until a different something happened to everyone. The U.S. entered the war only after they got attacked themselves (see a pattern here?).
If remembering and describing a country's past is only remembering the worst without any nuance, why would anyone remember the U.S. for any positive thing? Or maybe the torture by the CIA or the 100000 deaths in Iraq doesn't erase the helping others in WWII and we have to live in a complex world where nothing is really black or white. just try to remember salient Facts, not rewrite history. And some countries could benefit from learning to say: "we're sorry", more than to say:"we're awesome" (that's valid for the 2 bullies of the other 200 countries).
On the NK situation, crossing the 38th parallel during the counter attack without having the means for a complete military victory and occupation just helped polarize everything. And now we can link the 2: invading Germany and Japan was possible because Russia agreed, invading NK was not possible because russia was against it. And this whole idea of "checking with Russia first" runs contrary to the Cold War mindset.
