Any American who showed up there would immediately end up in prison. But back then, everyone was dedicated to peace. Many who had experienced WWII, fought on their own land, remembered the experience and it was brutal.

They even had museums in the schools to teach the children about the experience so they would remember. And there were statues and plaques all over dedicated to peace and to those they had lost. I remember one older lady, a member of one of the peace groups we met with, who had been a nurse during WWII and she said "When you go back, please tell your president that we want peace." Still chokes me up.
