Agreed. In Korea if you visit the old Buddhist castles, they have the swastika painted really large on the main entrance and exit. I remember seeing them as a kid and thinking that Korea had in some way helped the Nazis during WWII. My dad ensured me that Korea did not help the Nazis and the symbol was much older than the Nazis. They simply adopted it and pretty much destroyed it for everyone else. I forgot what he told me the symbol meant, but it's everywhere in Korea, and has been for thousands of years.
