It's sad that our soldiers, and the Brits in Singapore, weren't warned ahead of time what awaited those who surrendered to the medieval Samurai battle tactics of the Imperial Japanese Army, and shame on MacArthur for abandoning his men. But Japan eventually got paid back - in spades.

At least our two countries can put the past in the past and maturely cooperate today, without demonstrating outside each other's embassies or throwing rocks in the other's department store windows.

Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)

The Little Red Guards must be happy about their mob rule tactics in the last few days. Just like they were set upon, like wasps, the US Embassy in 2001 when their aircraft brought down our aircraft over Hainan, and WE 'refused to apologize'. Bastards.

No warning? The rape of Nan king was in the late 1930s. There was plenty of warning about Japanese atrocities. Problem is America was always apathetic about what was going on in the world around them, kinda like the same as now.
