what's worse is the current tendency by the Japanese to either lay down WWII
or discount those actions entirely. It's like they are either so embarassed
by their actions they want to forget them or just brush them under the rug.

It's a walking contradiction. What you say is true, but on the other
hand they are thoroughly pacificistic and, while ethnocentric, are not
"nationalist" in the sense of saluting flags, pledges of allegiance,
frequent national anthems, etc. There was an uproar from the teachers
about 10 years ago when the gov't wanted to put national flags back
into school classrooms, where they hadn't been for decades. I'm not
sure how that came out.

Question: Hiroshima justified?

Ask the Chinese ............ like my mom and dad...

They saw Japanese soldiers toss Chinese babies in the air and try to spear
them with their swords (on the rifle), women were raped on the streets of
Hong Kong, Women were jumping out of the building when they heard the
Japanese soldiers are coming in because they "know" they will be
raped.......... Not to mention Nanking and the experiment in the northeast
of China. 193 ?? My dad still claps his hands whenever he sees the USA
dropped the A-Bomb on the TV screen.

I have no problem with the modern day Japanese, but the "Japanese Empire" in
WWII were wrong !!!! Some of them still try to change the text book and
saying sh*t like A-Bomb was horrible..... But as an Chinese American... I
say "We didn't start the fire"

This sort of fingerpointing gets us nowhere. I don't doubt US has the
moral upperhand in WWII and that Japan was a sinister force in Asia,
that Japanese military needed to be defeated. That doesn't mean
ANYTHING GOES.

You cannot look at WWII with today's vision.

Read what they *knew* AT THE TIME. What they *perceived* AT THE TIME.
There was a World War going on with nations fighting for their very
way
of life. You did what it takes to win.

Speaking of which, does anyone here have any links to photos of the
airliner hitting the Pentagon or its resultant wreckage? I think we've
all seen the Two Towers incidents MANY times, but the Pentagon crash
seems far less well covered.

Could it be because the few photos that survive prove that a plane of
that size never hit the building?

No.

OK, ya got me. I know the real secret. The jet and passengers as well as the
"dead" from the Pentagon are being held at Gitmo. Using specifically designed
shaped charges they made the building burn and collapse in such a way as to
make it look like it was struck by an aircraft. In fact the aircraft pieces
that were found were flown in by black helicopters all the way from Davis
Monthen. This was all done by Blair to get the United States to invade
Afghanistan.

Dan you are so incorrect that I can only presume that you are
working for the conspiracy.
It was actually done for the express purpose of preparing the way
for the nuking of Tel Aviv, when we find out Bin Laden was there. By
that, the Jewish Conspiracy (TM), will gain more world sympathy and
thus once again prove they are the secret rulers of the planet.
