* Re “Pursuit of WWII Redress Hits Japanese Boardrooms,” Jan. 10: Reading the article about lawsuits being filed on behalf of victims of Japanese forces during World War II caused me to wonder if the precedent established in such actions could result in the United States being hauled into court by victims of our meddling in Latin American affairs, specifically, our helping Somoza, Pinochet and a murderous Guatemalan regime rise to power.
Will Dow Chemical be sued since it made napalm? It seems to me that these suits may bring about some dire unintended consequences.
