Shame....hding behind lies

Lies are prominent throughout history. Yet should countries omit certain negative events from their history? Well, personally I do not believe it right for countries to leave out important factors from their history,shameful, or not. Owning up to your actions is important, and countries should be able to do this. They acted upon their own command and will, and even though they may be veiled by shame, countries should take responsibility for their actions. Everyday people learn these principals throughout life, and are expected to apply them, even though countries are at a much more grandeur scale,these principles should still apply to them. We have a right to know the truth, and it is important to acquire an unbiased view on  history, because it's is a subject where many judge harshly and have supremely  biased viewpoints. Getting both sides of the story is essential. So,no, countries should not leave out negative aspects of their history.
